Jared & Megan ║ Engagement ║ Indianapolis Museum of Art

Jared and Megan might have both spent their college years in Terre Haute (ISU and Rose-Hulman), but didn't cross paths and begin dating until they lived in Indy. We had rescheduled due to rain the week before and thought we were in luck with a blue sky sunny evening. Well, literally the sky completely changed in the course of about 10 minutes before their session and it turned to a heavy spring rain. After trying to wait it out, it let up enough for us to get outside the cars and try to at least get a few shots in. Lucky us the rain held off for about a 1/2 hour for us to roam around the IMA and share some laughs.

They completely light up when they are together. Jared pulled off one of the most impressive proposals I've heard yet by, surprising her with a trip to Disney (she thought she was on a trip to visit family), proposing by the Castle and then having breakfast with all the Disney Princesses. Following by a day of sharing the excitement with family at the happiest place around.

Chrissy + Chas║IMA Engagement

What a beautiful evening full of laughs! Chrissy is a friend from church and I am so happy to see her so in love! The fun twist of the story is that she's in love with Chas. I grew up in a small town and Chas was at my high school and we spent plenty of time together in art class. Just another example of the small world it is. We had a lovely evening to shoot their session, surrounded by the beauty of the IMA.

I totally enjoy both Chrissy and Chas and know they have a great future together ahead. They will be married in the fall and no longer live in two different cities! Just a few more months lovebirds!

Elite Bridal Consulting ║ Art of the Table ║ Indianapolis Museum of Art

This Sunday I attended the Art of the Table event hosted by the Association of Bridal Consultants at the IMA. It is an event where the great talent we have here in Indy is able to showcase designs for weddings and special events, all while raising money for charities. I was curious to see what the up and coming trends are in reception decor.

One of the designers at the show was Elite Bridal Consulting, who I had the opportunity to work with for Leslie and Antonio's wedding at the Yacht Club at Geist. On Sunday, Kyna and Camille showcased a table they design for a bridal shower soire titled "Little Black Dress". I really enjoyed the simple touches of jewelry that glammed-up the floral arrangements.

Seeing all of those great designed makes me look forward to seeing all of the details come together for my 2010 brides. I know they have been busy making their wedding uniquely theirs!

Heather + Daren : Engaged

I met Heather way back when we were attending Hoosier Girls State at ISU before our senior years of high school. We both became Sycamores that next year and would run into each other on campus. Lucky me, she kept me in mind when she got engaged to Daren and began planning a fall wedding. Their story isn't unusual, meeting through friends. Sometimes it's the ordinary things that lead us into something extraordinary. They make each other smile non-stop. Heather has the cutest laugh. I am looking forward to documenting their special day this fall in an orchard!
