Natalie and Drew are such an awesome couple. I shot their engagement photos back in May, which you can see them here and here.
I was starting to get worried about their big day when I looked at the weather and it said 49 and rain. Luckily things turned our way and it was a gorgeous fall day. With the leaves changing and sun shining it was the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding.
Natalie gets a gold star for organization! Everyone was on time and things when so smoothly. Thank you to everyone involved – we had an awesome time and it was a pleasure to meet all of you.
Natalie and Drew – Congratulations and thanks again for allowing me to be a part of your day! Now for the pictures….

One of my favorites of the day – I always love when I get some alone time with just the Bride and Groom after the ceremony. Lets them be themselves and relax.

And for some fun reception shots…. take note of the granny panties Drew pulled out from under dress instead of the garter – hilarious.

Last but not least here’s one of me with the bride and groom. Note to self – take this earlier in the day, not at the end of the night.
And no, I didn’t know that purple was the wedding color when I picked out this shirt haha. Congrats again!!

My sister is getting married!!!! This session was extra special for me since it was my one and only sister Sarah and her fiance Joshua.
They met while working together at Cummins and got engaged in March. It took several months of me pestering them to finally shoot these photos – that’s what sisters are for 🙂
We decided to stay around the Tipton Lakes area for the pics. As you will see when you scroll down they are a gorgeous couple (ok I might be a little biased) and it was a beautiful fall day. I can’t wait for their wedding in May in which I will be the Maid of Honor.
Congrats you guys!! I love you!!

See what I mean?! I’m going to have some adorable nieces and/or nephews someday (hint hint) 🙂

We always joke that we’re not sure how these two ended up together based on their magazine and tv choices they seem like complete opposites. So Sarah wanted to incorporate the magazines into the photos. Sarah with her InStyle and Joshua with his Economist.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the cover of his most recent copy of The Economist…. classic… scroll down…

There are several of these tunnels around Tipton to connect the walking trails. I’ve been wanting to attempt this shot for awhile now – thanks for letting me test it out. I’m pretty happy about how it turned out.

Congrats again to Sarah and Joshua!!
I was introduced to Kristin through my roommate Lindsey (thanks!) who used to work with her. From the first time I met her I had my fingers crossed that I would get to shoot their wedding. They are an awesome laid back couple and a blast to be around. I shot their engagement pictures downtown at the canal in the spring and I’ve been looking forward to the big day ever since. Kristin and Derek got married on a gorgeous fall day under the trees at Martha’s Orchard. They chose to embrace the spirit of fall by incorporating it into the wedding. From the orange dresses the bridesmaids wore, to the homemade pies instead of traditional cake – everything about their day added to the great autumn feel of the location.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved the site they chose for the wedding. Martha’s Orchard (www.marthasorchard.net) is a family owned business which, to my surprise, no longer produces apples. They instead have a pumpkin patch and make homemade fudge while hosting a variety of events on their property. There were so many gorgeous spots that I could have stayed there forever.. if only I knew how to grow pumpkins or make fudge I probably would have haha..
I did my best to narrow down some of my favorites from the day – enjoy! Congrats to Kristin and Derek!!

Although to some this might be an odd backdrop - this is my favorite image of the day. There is something I love about the contrast of beautiful and new against something old and ugly.

Last but not least... so glad I pulled them away for this image while the sun was setting.
