Let’s be honest – very few people actually like having their picture taken. If I had a nickel for every time a bride warned me about her or her partner’s awkwardness in front of the camera…. I’m sure you know where this is going. If I had a penny for every Groom who was deeply […]

I’m, really looking forward to being a Greencastle, IN wedding photographer! Not only is there a really lovely, rustic wedding venue located in that area called Owl Ridge Wedding Venue and Event Center, it’s also only about 30-45 minutes from home! It would be such a treat to work close by. While I was perusing […]

Fall is hands down the best time of year for Indianapolis wedding photography! If you know anything about the mid-west, then you know the weather here is volatile. But autumn seems to be the most stable season of all, with comfortable temperatures and vibrant colors all around. It’s no wonder that brides all over Indiana […]

I’m so excited to be offering Indianapolis wedding photography starting in 2022! There are still limited dates available for this season, and I will be opening my calendar for 2023 soon. As I am preparing for this season I am thinking back on Kendall and Justin’s wedding. It was one of the high points from […]

One of my favorite things about wedding photography is FLOWERS. And the best part about being a wedding photographer in Carmel, Indiana and the Indianapolis area is all of the incredibly talented Florists that I get to work with!     I am absolutely obsessed with fresh flowers. They can not only dramatically transform a […]

There are so many beautiful locations for extraordinary weddings here! While I am dreaming of all the gorgeous photos in my future, I thought I would share a pretty wedding from last summer. Laura & […]

Every once in a while I am privileged to photograph an Elopement! (This one happened in my old town, but I’m super excited to now be offering elopement photography in Fishers, Indiana!) The best thing about Elopements is that the most enjoyable parts of a traditional wedding are preserved. The parts that, for some people, […]

Since I am a photographer who is new to the Indianapolis wedding photography market, I thought I would take a minute to introduce myself and highlight some of my favorite images from my 2021 season. I also thought it would be really fun to share a few of the wedding venues in Indianapolis, Carmel, Bloomington, […]

Every so often, I get the opportunity to work for a client who is more than just a client. Terri is actually my beloved Second Shooter and my right-hand-woman at weddings. It was extra special to be able to spend and evening shooting a Couple’s Photo Session for her and her husband, Noah. A Couple’s […]

James and Rachel are two college sweethearts. They powered through all that 2020 and Covid -19 threw at them to get to their ultimate goal: being sealed for eternity in their Indianapolis Mormon Temple wedding. The Courtship and Proposal Rachel met James while attending BYU. They were both in the same FHE group and quickly […]
