on the 4th of july alisha and i had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple whose wedding had me in awe many times throughout the day. i woke to rain that seemed as though it would never stop. grrrrr .... as all of the pix were planned to be outside. as we got closer to the start of the pix, the rain began to slow down. we started 4 hours before the wedding, and there was not a drop of rain that we had to deal with! their yard wasn't soaked ... it truly ended up being the perfect day. and then i started noticing all of the detail and time the bride had spent on their theme &, and was simply amazed. also, i can't stress enough how organized the girl was ... at one point, alisha said something about 'all brides should be this organized ... it's been so ridiculously easy today." !! so true :)
it's something about weddings : i get choked up even if i don't know the people. it's silly. but some weddings just wow me. these families seem so close and it's such a great thing. they married on the 4th because one of their sets of grandparents did the same thing like 56 years ago, or something like that! a long time, regardless :) the same person married them that married the bride's parents 30 years ago. (sorry if these #s are off, but i think they're close!) anyhoo, i was really impressed with their tight-knit families, the speeches given, everyone dancing and having fun. it was just really great and i couldn't be happier for them. you guys rock, and it's clear that you are absolutely perfect for one another! *please* call me when you have babies ... they will be gorgeous!!!
MINI SESSIONS will be offered again ... the following dates are available. the session is for 30 minutes and is $150 + tax, including a $75 print credit. i'm going to do two of these around here, and two around the indy area. i have a few spots in mind, but if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment to let me know!!!
