What a beatiful, calm day for reflections in the pond at Cathedral Gardens in Henryville, Indiana. Beth took a moment out of the promanade with her Bridesmaids for a reflective picture.
Andrew shows the chivalry that helped steal his new wife's heart by carrying her up the trail at Wooded Glenn Retreat Center in Henryville, where the couple had their reception. The site hosted a new deck, overlooking the lake behind the retreat center.
Beth and her bridesmaids show a little of their wild side and release a little bit of the excitement for the cermenoy to come. I followed the group around the pond and stopped quite often to have them interact with the many beautiful spots at Cathedral Gardens in Henryville.
Beth and her bridesmaids took a stroll around the gardens prior to her groom's arrival. And you just couldn't take a bad picture there.
The Cross Fountain offered a wonderful background to compliment Andrew & Beth's outdoor ceremony at Cathedral Gardens in Henryville. Andrew waited at the cross for a few moments to reflect upon the day to come.
Andrew and his guys jump with their reflections mirroring the excitement of the day. What an incredible location for an outdoor wedding with all the structures, fountains, ponds, greenery and flowers.
We had just a few minutes at Duncan Memorial, as the second wedding of the day was on schedule to use the location, but were able to make good use of our time. Robert and Grace were a blast to work with and always ready for a photo shoot.
Grace was just glowing after the ceremony, speaking in Korean to her family who had made the trip for her wedding and English to all those who attended, all at 100 miles per hour! Even through all the hugs and congratulations, Grace was glowing. Duncan Memorial provided a beautiful, cozy setting for such a wonderful day!
Robert and his Groomsmen catch a few minutes break between locations and just fell into this shot waiting for the ladies to show up. Duncan Memorial in Crestwood, Kentucky, offers diverse photo settings and a pond behind the chapel.
What an awesome day filled with fabulous people and wonderful locations. With the ceremony just hours away, the Bride, accompanied by her Bridesmaids, took a little tour of the River City Winery in downtown New Albany, Indiana. The barrels offered some real nice tones and depth to the shoot.
The Bride and her Bridesmaids took a stroll from The Grand to the River City Winery in downtown New Albany for a little tour and relaxation prior to the wedding. The winery offered a wonderful front window to get a little peek at what was going down inside.
Our little ring bearer raced up the aisle during an outdoor wedding at Huber Winery. It just goes to show that you can work real hard to plan your wedding day, but it's hard to come up with something spontaneously that will make your guests laugh, chuckle and cheer... That's when it pays to have little kids in the wedding party!
I'm always looking for little things here and there that will tie the location to the wedding and this sun bird feeder on the back of the bridal house at Huber Winery just beamed!
I do spend a lot of time working with the groom and his groomsmen. We hang out and I try and capture the guys as they are.... To capture that nervousness and fun prior to the ceremony. It's fun getting to see both sides throughout the day and how they come together, down the aisle, to join in the ceremony.
The newly weds end their time at Duncan Memorial with a few moments together. With all the hustle and bustle a wedding day can bring, it's nice for them to take the time and share moments they'll remember forever.
The couple exchange vows inside Duncan Memorial Wedding Chapel in Crestwood. The site offers a wide variety of settings to shoot and a pond to boot!
I don't remember him doing anything but smiling. Well, no... The whole day! And what a beautiful day it was at Duncan Memorial Chapel. I pulled Josh and his Best Man, Charlie, aside for a little mini session while waiting for something or other... Anyway, we put the few minutes we had to good use.
I so love spending all day working with my clients as it really does help me to see who they are, and photograph them in ways and settings that make them feel more natural and at ease. I start the morning off with their hair and makeup appointments and it just builds from there.
They just couldn't contain their emotions as they greet the newly weds right after their ceremony.
I just found out that GraphiStudio, the Italian company that does my wedding albums, has awarded me First Place in their first American Convention Photography Contest! Wow! Worldwide exposure and judged by some big names in the industry. Thank you God and all the factors that came together, just right, on that day to make the photograph such a beautiful moment.
