I'm not sure where to begin this post, to be completely honest. I knew Trish during my college years at IWU...she played basketball, I ran track. We had mutual friends and knew of one another, but that was about it. Fast forward a few ;) years, and our paths crossed once again. This story is better in person, believe me, so I'll leave it at that. ;) Fast forward another couple of years and I receive an email from Trish regarding their photos. I was beyond honored to photograph the two of them. They are perfect for one another in every way. I truly wish we were able to be a part of their wedding day--such a beautiful couple--inside and out.
As for their engagement session, after months of rescheduling we finally made it happen. And, I won't lie, I think we chose the best day thus far of 2012. I have never seen such vibrant colors among the trees and grass-I even toned down the colors in a lot of these photos because they were so intense. We truly had the most perfectly warm, spring day. We shared in some good laughs and had the chance to get to know one another better. Looking forward to when our paths cross again. Hugs to you both!
Trish...you are going to be such a beautiful bride. Brad...I love how you love her. It's written all over these photos.

The blog hiatus will be ending now as we are in full swing with our season. I've been trying to work on some back-end organizational/marketing work (still in process-story of my life ;) which had kept me away from sharing some pretty amazing people with all of you. But, here we are...first, with Meredith and Julian.
I was so excited to hear from Julian when he contacted us for their wedding. Jeremy actually had Julian in class a number of years ago (aging us again ;), so it was quite the honor when they wanted us to document their day.
As for their session...goodness, we had fun. The evening was absolutely perfect...unseasonably warm temps and the blooming of spring was in full swing. We took a lot of photos (we even witnessed a rather impressive round of swing dancing ;), laughed like crazy, and absolutely loved capturing the two of them.
We can't wait to be a part of their day in just a few short months. It's going to be amazing in every way! So glad you chose us to be a part of it all. Hugs to you both!
I couldn't not (excuse the double-negative ;) share a few of the photos below with you. We met up with Meredith and Julian during our 'one day of winter' for their save the date photos. I think the snow fell perfectly just for their photos. Can't wait to celebrate the two of you!

Janet says:
OK, I expected nothing less than spectacular photos (you two never deliver anything less), but whose idea was the window with the date?!! Love it!! Kudos to you both from ol' West Lafayette.
Meredith says:
I think My FAVORITE part is how much Julian's personality comes through in them...SO glad you got that, since it is the best part about him :) @Janet, the window was my mom and I's idea (modified from a post we saw on Pinterest)

Lauren and Joel share the kind of love that can be seen miles away. On top of that, they are so much fun to be around. I met Lauren through our church, Northview, and got to know her even better last year during my trip to South Africa. I just love her to pieces and am so excited she found her man, and that her man found her. They are perfect for each other.
Their beautiful, little beach wedding will be hitting the blog next, so I thought I better get their engagement photos up first. ;) We hit a jackpot of color at the end of their session. Lauren was hoping for some color (that was long gone, really, by this point in the season), and amazingly enough we found the perfect kind in the most random place. Random is good...especially when it brings what you will see below.
Stay tuned...more beautiful images of them to come.

Obviously, I am super behind on my blogging. Brenna and Craig's session happened back in October and here it is January...sigh. ;) Hopefully, these sessions will allow your mind to go back to those warmer days and remember that spring will be here before we know it.
As for Brenna and Craig, they made my job super easy...and they are sweet as can be!! Brenna had a lot of ideas she wanted to incorporate into her session (thanks to Pinterest ;) and we accomplished all of them. They also included their sweet pups and had a great time just being together. We are looking forward to celebrating with them this summer. I'm sure the details will be out of this world. :)

I met Kiely several years back at her brother's wedding (I still remember how much I loved her hair :), but have known her family for quite some time...love them! It is such an honor that we get to be a part of their day. They are just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. And, the love they have for one another is overflowing in these photos. We are so fortunate to not only love what we do, but to be able to capture moments such as these...
Can't wait to celebrate you both later this summer. Much love and hugs...
