Letitia + Ryan: Engaged

After several years of being together, Letitia and Ryan are tying the knot this fall. We had a great time walking around the canal and White River State Park. It's such a gem of the city.

Paper Time

For those of you brides out there who are planning their weddings, you know it's all about the details. The little details that make the day uniquely yours and pull it all together. Wedding stationary does just that. There are so many wonderful ideas and designs out there, the possibilities are endless! I wanted to introduce you to Oliver's Twist, an adorable invitation shop located in Clay Terrace in Carmel, IN. Kristyn had done the stationary for my good friend Jessica's wedding back in the spring of 2007. Since then her business has grown to offer many wonderful products and personalized service. Oh, and if you are not in the market for wedding invitations, they also offer great custom stationary and cards too.

Vacation

A few weeks ago Tim and I enjoyed a week vacation on the beach in lovely Mexico. On Thursday my parents joined us and we enjoyed 4th of July together in Mexico! It was wonderful to be away and just spend time together. Tim enjoyed playing volleyball everyday (see action shot below). I made a step in the right direction about conquering my fear of fish by snorkeling through a very busy reef. I also had an iguana or two that enjoyed frightening me as I walked by. Tim took the awesome sunrise pictures. The one with the tractor on the beach made me laugh. But alas, the sun, fun, long naps and fruity drinks must come to an end.

Rikki + Josh = Married in Mexico!

On Tim and I's fabulous vacation a few weeks ago in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, we ran into Rikki and Josh who were at the resort getting ready for their beach wedding at the end of the week. They were having an early afternoon wedding on the beach with just close family and then having a special dinner with their families later that evening, so sweet and intimate. Since I had not yet had the opportunity to shoot a couple on the beach (I did shoot a wedding in Costa Rica, but it was mainland) I had asked them if they wanted to have a little fun with me and the camera the afternoon of the wedding. For about 15 minutes we had a little mini-shoot where I got to try out a few ideas. Here is a look of what transpired. (check out that fluffy white sand and perfect day)

Thanks so much Rikki + Josh for being so in love and letting me photograph just a little of it! Best wishes on married life back in the states!

Jamie + Michael = Engaged!

Jamie and Michael have had a whirlwind romance and courtship! Just last fall I was at a wedding listening to my friend Jamie mention a date she had for next week that she was excited and nervous about. Well, that date turned into much more. Next month these two will be sharing their vows before family and friends. I love how they just light up each other. Wedding bells soon lovebirds!
