Courtney + Bryan are getting MARRIED!

I met Courtney when she was a student at Franciscan University, in fact, I think she was one of the first people I met. As the years went on, she moved to Georgia, I moved to Indiana and who would have thought our paths would have crossed like this again.  Her fiance had moved to Indiana over the summer and he actually lived with us for a few weeks.  We immersed him in family life with 4 kids!

Then this past fall they got engaged and are getting married in May! I even got to see the diamond before she did! It was an honor to pray for Bryan leading up to the proposal.

I was so honored when they asked me to photograph their wedding! It means so much when a friend asks me to capture the special moments, the family memories and the beginning of their life together.

I can't wait for your big day in May, Courtney and Bryan!

We had a lot of fun this afternoon during their engagement session and I am excited to share them with everyone.  You can see their joy and their love in their eyes!!

Cincinnati Wedding Photographer: Veronica + Chris Thornberry

I was excited to shoot this wedding for over a year and the closer it got, the more excited I got.
 #1 I love FALL!! (of course that is when I got married, too!)
 #2 I love fun, simple, country, old barns...I could keep going!
 The wedding was held at a place called The Fling Barn...LOVE!
#3 I love the couple--Veronica and Chris are so much fun, so in love, and their story warms my heart!

So, clearly I couldn't take enough pictures of this wedding, and I have a "few" to show you!  I added a few comments as well.


Love this sign they made. It now hangs in their house!
Loved that all the guys wore chuck taylor's
Simple, rustic, shabby chic centerpieces!  The favors were mason jars that doubled as our drink cups for the evening

We had beautiful morning light, and I had fun with it.  We might have taken some"For His Eyes Only" shots

LOVE that she wore cowboy boots!



Isn't she just beautiful?!

Brothers...they clean up good!

Simple yet elegant, the bridesmaids carried just baby's breathe



This cutie was not the flower girl, but she could have been with those darling boots!
Love this shot that Brian got as the bride was "Coming down the aisle" with her dad
They got married under two huge oak trees. It was so beautiful!
The best part of this picture is Wyatt hugging his new step brother as their parents seal the deal!

This guy is one of the sweetest little dudes I know! And he sure loves his Mama!

I am not sure what I love  more about this shot....Veronica's look on her face or the rusty truck in the background!

Pinky Swear!



It was a good fight!

Her sisters sang their wedding song...sweet!



Veronica's dad brought the Chinese lanterns and it was really fun to let them go at the end of the night.  What was even cooler was that they formed a "T" in the sky as they floated away....Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Thornberry!!
It takes a team to pull off a wedding.  Here is the team responsible for this awesome day!

Indaianapolis Wedding Photographer: Victoria + Dennis Wheaton: Preview

As I said before it was a delight to take engagement photographs for Victoria and Dennis, it was even more delightful to capture all the love on their wedding day.  I loved spending the day with them and seeing all the details come together.  I won't officially say that Dennis cried more than Victoria...the rest of the wedding party can attest to that. I will say,  I loved how he was overcome with emotion for his bride and the beauty of their marriage.  Victoria truly took in the whole day with grace and beauty.  Even though the day went by SO fast, I was sure to capture all the moments of the day.  Here are just a few to get you excited about seeing more!
