canvases, albums & books...oh my!

It seems like I had a ton of deliveries this week! I get so excited to see the delivery guys pull up in front of the house! Here are some photos of products that clients recently purchased, so I thought I'd share. If you are in need of a cool canvas to deck your walls, or a coffee table books that your friends will be jealous of, then shoot me an email!:)

One of my beautiful brides, Lauren (who checks my blog all of the time--holla!) ordered a 16x24 canvas of the tree photo, and a 16x20 canvas of the boat photo. Don't the look great??!!





Here's a shot of the back to show that they literally come ready to hang on your walls. No work required on your end!

And recently, another one of my gorgeous brides, Amber, placed her album order! She hasn't even seen it yet...I'm delivering it this afternoon!




And remember the 30th Wedding Anniversary shoot that I did with Bob & Marla?? Well, they decided that they wanted to showcase the entire shoot in one of the coffee table books. What a great way to share your photos with friends and family. Not to mention this will look great sitting on their coffee table at home!

todd + stephanie | 06.20.08

Todd and Steph had an absolutely beautiful Friday evening wedding. After all of the rain, we lucked out and had gorgeous weather. Everything went according to plan except that, well...Steph had to change her makeup plans that morning! Can you believe that??!! Some bridezillas would have flipped out, but Steph handled it like a pro, quickly came up with an option B, and moved on like it was no big deal! Among all of the good characteristics that Stephanie has, I love how calm and cool she is, and Todd is so lucky to have that! I quickly picked up on the fact that Tood is just as low-key as Stephanie. These two are destined for great things, and I wish you nothing but the best! Now lets get to the good stuff...

We started off at one of the best stores in the world (in my book at least)...Nordstrom!

Getting the veil on tightly and secure is KEY!!:)

Steph had an awesome bouquet. I love the elegance and simplicity.

And she had this great little detail on her dress...

A nice little shot of the hardware...

Todd & Steph opted to see each other before the wedding! We started out on Monument Circle where we had an awesome breeze!


Then we headed to the Canal. As we were leaving the Circle however, I stayed behind Todd & Steph. I'm not even sure if they knew I took this shot:)

My car happened to be parked in front of this great little barber shop downtown called "Red's Classic Barbershop." Todd was a good sport when I asked him to pose for me in front of it! And then believe it or not, one of the barbers came out and welcomed us inside to take photos! The lighting inside was great!!



One of my faves...





My favorite shot of the day. Steph's veil just happened to blow across the shot as I was doing an over the shoulder photo of Todd!

Well, this one is another top pick too. I love her smile here...








Nice little skyline shot from the Canal view...


This was shot inside the Mavris. The light is killer...

One of my favorite moments during a wedding. The ceremony and reception were both at the Mavris.

The cake looked delicious. For any of you photo nerds out there, this was shot with available light:)

First dance...

I have no idea what is going on in this shot, but I love everyone's reactions!

Party time...

Todd workin' it on the dance floor...


Steph was a dancing machine!



Todd and Steph, I hope you guys are enjoying Maui and Kauai (I'm totally jealous!!). Your wedding was wonderful and I know you two will live a long and happy life together. Thanks so much for allowing me to document your day. It was an honor. You can click here to visit Pictage to see ALL 566 of the images! Enjoy your slideshow...



Here are a few out-takes for you. I had to check my makeup at the MAC counter. Just kidding!

And it was great to see my high-school softball coach and friend, Coach Med, at the wedding. I had Kendra snap this of the two of us with my camera. I had better watch out though, Kendra may steal my job with work like this:)!!
