I knew from the day I met Paige & Kevin that I would have a blast shooting their wedding. Jerry and I both graduated from Purdue and so did Paige & Kevin (although we are older… but shhhh) and they were returning to Boilermaker country to become husband and wife. You might remember this couple from their engagement session in Chicago here .

They had areas around campus that they definitely wanted to visit for pictures and I have to say it was soooo nice to have so much time with them and their wedding party. Usually we are super crunched for time, but this group was up for just about anything. If you are from Indiana or have been to Purdue, you understand the significance of some of these locations including Harrys and the Boilermaker Special :)

Here are some from throughout the day….

When we first got there, I went straight to the salon to meet up with the girls.

And those of you from Purdue, we were getting ready in the Union… I cannot believe how much it has changed since we went to school there!

What a beautiful bride!

Paige’s dad is a minister and officiated part of the wedding ceremony. It was truly beautiful.

This wedding party was a blast :)

We REALLY had to fight for this shot. Harry’s has been around Purdue for a very long time… and it’s a bar. They weren’t going to let us in because none of us were carrying our IDs. HAHA! Here we were, with tons of camera equipment and a full bridal party on the train… and yet… they weren’t going to let us in, haha! Thankfully, they changed their minds and we were able to get behind the bar :)

These are dear friends of mine, Marie and Steve… and they are getting ready to welcome their first child into the world. Baby boy Lucas is due this fall and I cannot wait to meet him. I am so happy for my friends and I couldn’t help but get a tear in my eye as I edited a few of these for their sneak peek. Marie… you are simply stunning… glowing inside and out. I can’t wait to meet him!!!

This weekend Jerry and I traveled out to the small town of Marshall, Illinois right over the Indiana border to capture Abby & Scott’s wedding day for them. It was a pleasure getting to know them and they welcomed us into their day with tons of small town charm :) The rain stopped for all of the pictures and everything went exactly as planned. Here are just a few from their special day… enjoy your sneak peek!

Ever since I met Hannah, I knew their wedding was going to be something special. A country girl at heart marrying a farmer, their day was filled with love and kindness. Jerry and I talked about how kind everyone was that we met through this couple, and I still must say it again :) Those of you visiting this blog entry who were a part of Hannah & Karl’s special day… THANK YOU for being so wonderful to us while we were there and making it easy to do our job :)

Their wedding took place in their hometown and the reception took place at the farm that Karl runs… but I am not lying when I tell you that when I walked into the reception hall that my mouth dropped open when I saw the decorations! You would have never known this place was normally filled with farming equipment!

Here we go.. Karl & his guys…

Did I mention that Karl is tall? Yes, its true. But I’m telling you that they make the perfect couple. :)

And some bling…

Hannah’s dress had a corset, and those things are not easy to figure out. We played … “how many bridesmaids does it take to figure out a dress?” hahaha :) And look… they even have directions ;)

BEAUTIFUL!

Congratulations Hannah and Karl, I’m so thankful we got to meet the two of you.

Stay tuned for their trash the dress session, coming up later this week ;)

You may remember Marissa, since she is one of my 2011 senior representatives. We took some of her rep shots back in February but we got together again last night for her regular full senior shoot. We had so much fun on the golf course as she showed off her skills. I admit that I know absolutely nothing about golf and when Marissa started throwing out terms about it I just shook my head and said “ok!” haha :) It was a very steamy evening but she was an excellent sport, and I am so glad that we did the golf shots right before the sun set. Check out that sky! Enjoy your sneak peek, Marissa. You are beautiful and I hope you enjoy every moment of your last moments in high school!

This family was celebrating some very special milestones. Megan and her husband are celebrating 10 years of marriage, their oldest son is turning 4 and their youngest son is turning 2 all within a couple of months of each other. The two boys are completely adorable and were so much fun to work with. Enjoy your sneak peek, Fogarty family and I congratulate you on all of these amazing moments!!

It was a really hot evening and we all had to brave the mosquitoes! Enjoy your sneak peek… can’t wait to see you in a few weeks :)

For this maternity session, I met up with the C Family. I took their family pictures over Christmas and I couldn’t get over at that time how much their little girl Riley looked like my daughter Bella. 8 months later I was so excited when Melissa called me and told me they are expecting again in early September right before Riley’s 2nd birthday and it was time for some maternity pictures. I recently went out scouting for some new locations, and had driven past this field last week. Little did I know that the flowers (aka weeds) were literally taller than me and there was no walking path whatsoever… ha! Yeah.. let’s just say these guys are really good sports. I did end up slicing my finger along the way which wasn’t so fun but thankfully all is well! Little Riley still remind me so much of my daughter Bella :) I can’t wait to meet their new addition to the family soon! Enjoy your sneak peek family, C family and thanks so much for being so great!

This was totally not a pose I intended for. I was taking a picture of Melissa only when Riley climbed up there on her own and said “baby!” haha so cute :)
