Brad and Liz
Here is a fun little Recap from a wedding back in May. Brad and Liz had their reception at the Scottish rite in Indianapolis. their photos were taken by Randalls Photography and the coordinator was Adrienne Henn of Eventful Planning. Brad and Liz are a great couple. I had the chance to film a love story with them. We wont talk about that day since I was a bit under the weather. I now know not to eat left over sushi. Any way they couldn't have asked for a better day. It was a real pleasure being a part of their wedding day.

Today's Wedding was for Megan and Kyle. It started off Friday night in Brownsburg where i had the opportunity to capture their Rehearsal dinner. It was a great dinner at Boulder Creek Dinning company and after dinner got to listen to some excellent and heartfelt speeches. Today I arrived at the Church, set up, and began capturing some scenic shots of the location. I over heard the bridal party discussing how they wished they had some music to listen to. Well no fear I just happened to have my new handy dandy iPhone on me. You can watch the clip to see how it was a hit.
By the way the pictures were taken with the iPhone as well, it was just a quick snap to see what it would look like.
Now I thought the iPhone was a pretty cool little contraption but never really planned on getting one. I woke up Tuesday morning and about mid afternoon my doorbell rings. DHL was at the door with a delivery. I wasn't expecting anything so I was a bit surprised to see them. I get my package noticing it was from the Apple store and go about opening it. WOW! A brand new 8 gig iPhone with a letter saying thank you. It took me a while, as I didn't know who had sent me such an unexpected surprise. You see about 6 months ago I helped someone out (Dave, don't know his last name) that was trying to figure out how I did one of my edits. He was also having problems with his editing system. I spent about 3 days on the phone and through email, got him set up on his system and explained the steps and process to get the look he was after. Of course he was appreciative and offered to pay me for my time. I declined payment, as I figured he could pass on the deed to someone else needing help and any way I was just happy to help out. All I have to say now is thank you and you didn't have to, but I very much appreciate it.
Any way today's wedding was a blast, as Megan and Kyle both have such great families and friends. The photographs were taken by husband and wife team, Megan and Tim. Megelaine is the name of the company and they were both friends of Megan and Kyle. They did a wonderful job and I look forward to seeing their photos.
April 27th I was asked to follow along and shoot some video of a unique Photo shoot. Nathaniel Rowe and Tiffany Stoner of Nathaniel Edmunds Photography thought it would be a great idea to do a bridal shoot that was....well, unique. They approached me with the idea and asked If I would like to follow along and shoot some video. Of course I said yes since I am always looking for something out of the ordinary. Tiffany and Nathan definitely came up with that something.
"We wanted to get the creative energy flowing a little bit," " In Indiana, you have to look at things a little bit more organically. We didn't want them ( models) to look bridey", said Tiffany. I have worked with Nathaniel Edmunds Photography a few times in the past. Creative and professional would be the best words to describe them in my eyes. On the shoot I definitely was impressed and surprised by their creative side. From locations ranging from Captain Logans, an eclectic boutique in Zionsville, Traders Point Creamery, with its old barns and open fields, to White River Architectural Salvage and Antiques.
The Brides I could tell were having a blast the whole day. Even with the occasional sprinkle, their was laughter and good spirits throughout. To read more about the Sexy Shoot visit the Nathaniel Edmunds site and their blog.
