Melanie Wicker

2009-05-10T12:40:00.001-07:00

Melanie's senior session was such a good time. She lives out in a rural area and had soooo many options for shooting. More than that, she had her new motorcycle, her gorgeous horse, and gasoline powered transportation... does it really get any better than that?

You and your family were oh so hospitable. Thanks for letting me spend the time.

Bridget and Michael Hawryluk

2009-05-01T20:22:00.001-07:00

I have to be honest and say that Bridget and Michael's wedding day was one of the best times that I've had shooting a wedding with my good friend Joel Cookston. To say that these two were easy to work with doesn't even scratch the surface. Good times from beginning to end.

Thanks for letting us hang out and capture your day.

Hangin' with Friends

2009-03-08T12:07:00.001-07:00

Something for all the friends and fam' to look at. Keller, Alaina and Aaron all hanging out at the Cookston crib.

By the way... if you happen to own a set of these Incredible Hulk gloves and the mask that goes with them... please don't let my son see them. Let's talk about being terrified!

Lookin' to the new...

2009-02-19T20:22:00.000-08:00

So, as some of you may know, I'm in the process of building a new photography site. The days of trying to promote my photography with a .mac account are over (big sigh of relief... aaaah). With this new site, I needed a solid head shot of myself so potential clients could put a face with the name. I leaned on my good friend Joel Cookston for leading the photo shoot at his new studio. If there's anyone reading who knows me and Joel, you know that we can't get together without having a good time. I've posted a few shots below from the other night. The second of the two is the shot that I will have posted on the new site. Looking forward to sharing the new stylin's with whoever might be paying attention.

By the way... if you're checking this blog, start leaving some comments, I'd love to see them.

Out with the old...

What a way to start the year!!! This was the most fun I think we've had at a wedding. I was shooting with my good friend Joel Cookston and as always, we rocked the scene. Everything about this wedding was amazing!!! The couple was hilarious, their family and friends were down to rock it all night and the party was out of sight. Thanks for starting the year out with a great time.

Around the House

2008-10-31T11:53:00.001-07:00

Just a few images of my son running around the yard, enjoying fall.

The Robinson Family

2008-10-18T19:38:00.000-07:00

About a year ago I reunited with Kyle who I went to high school with. For the past year, I've got to know his family pretty well and we've become good friends. His wife if super sweet, his kids are hilarious, and together they're all a ball of fun!!! I had a great time with you guys.

The Sullivan Family

2008-10-10T21:49:00.000-07:00

This little family is actually part of my larger family and they're just another reason that I think family is so important. What a great time. Can't wait for Thanksgiving!

LOVE!!!!!

I mean saaa-weeeet! This little girl was so content the entire time that we were shooting. She cracked me up, no matter how many silly noises I made, what toys I shook in front of her face, how many beeps came out of my camera (yeah, I tried turning that beep on to get her attention) she was only interested in looking at the light coming from the sun. That's cool with me, I like to shoot candids anyway......

Stephanie Talkington

2008-08-29T13:30:00.000-07:00

We took a trip down to beautiful Pendleton, Indiana last week to get some senior photos, and it was such a relaxing time. Stephanie was so down for whatever. I had such a good time... can't wait to see you in the fall.

Much love.

The (completely adorable) Carroll Family

2008-08-24T19:13:00.000-07:00

Let's talk about good looking people... this family is chock full of them. How lucky am I? To be completely honest, this is the first time I've taken lead on a shoot with a family, and I absolutely loved it!!! They made being a photographer SOOOO easy.

Honestly guys, thanks so much for giving me a chance to take these images. You were rock stars from beginning to end. Much love!!!

Chris and Kelly Balich

2008-08-18T18:27:00.000-07:00

I got to stick around the A-Town this weekend and shoot at one of the most historic places you can find in the Anderson area... the Paramount Theatre. The theatre was built in 1929 and was restored in 1995. It rests in the midst of this thriving metropolis I know as home.

Anyway, we had the chance to shoot Chris and Kelly and let me tell you... I loved these two. The entire party was super-fun, the guys were rowdy, the ladies were full of smiles.

Thanks for letting us document your day you two. We had a great time.

Rachel and Ian Martinez

2008-08-13T20:46:00.000-07:00

Alright... so after reviewing the images that I captured over in Ohio this past weekend, I've been thinking. I REALLY have to give it up to my fellow photographer, Joel Cookston. Who would've ever thought that partnering up with a friend could make for such a good working relationship.

We traveled to a far away land called Ohio this past weekend and met up with Ian and Rachel and the rest of their families. All I can really say.... good times. This girl was a ball of funniness. This guy used to be in a singing quartet and they sang "You Make Me Feel So Young" at the reception with super-fly harmonies and all.

The sanctuary was super-backlit (due to the wall of glass behind the stage), but the images came out great. I've put a few in the Photo section of the site and a few on this posting of the blog. Check them out.

Russell and Anne Wiley

2008-08-11T21:03:00.001-07:00

Russell and Anne were a truly down to earth, cool couple of kids. Anne was crazy! Whenever a camera was pointed in her direction, she turned and gave either the biggest smile or the smokiest stare... hilarious.

Thanks for being so great to work with.

Leslie and Ronnie Thompson

2008-07-30T19:53:00.000-07:00

So let's talk about pressure... Leslie was a coworker of mine and I'm not afraid to say it, quite the perfectionist. When we talked about her wedding day a few months before it actually arrived, it was obvious that she wanted everything to go perfect. I'll be the first to say... it exceeded perfect! It was the most beautiful day anyone could ask for, the ceremony and reception were at the Indianapolis Zoo and gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe it.

Loved it. Seriously, thanks sooo much for letting us hang out for the day.

Jenn and Brian Davis

2008-07-30T19:40:00.001-07:00

What a cute couple! Brian and Jenn were soooo much fun to work with. These two were a blast to shoot. He was full of smiles and she lit up every room she walked into.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your day.

Mark and Kari Sue

2008-07-27T19:55:00.000-07:00

These two were soooo cute together! But that doesn't even compare to how talented they were... the groom composed the music that was played at the ceremony! It sounded so nice!

Another shoot with Joel Cookston in the books, and another great time!

Even the flower girl was playing music! I think everyone in the wedding party was musically gifted... it was awesome!

Holly and Kevin Jones

2008-07-27T19:42:00.000-07:00

Talk about a smile that will light up a room! Holly and Kevin were so cute together. This was the first opportunity I had to shoot with my good friend Joel Cookston and how much fun it was!

To Kevin and Holly, thanks for letting me be part of your day.

Beth and Andy Long

2008-07-26T08:59:00.001-07:00

Okay... so I'm going to admit it. These images were taken at the first wedding I ever shot. A coworker of mine, Wade Carignan, of carignangallery.com fame, asked me if I'd like to assist him on a wedding and I nervously agreed. I'm sure he'll call me out on just getting around to posting them because it was a year ago, but they're still worth posting.

I've shot many since, but this was the couple that got me hooked on shooting wedding days.

Alaina Cookston's Birthday

2008-07-21T20:16:00.001-07:00

So I was recently commissioned by my good friend Joel Cookston, of joelcookston.com fame, to photograph his daughter's first birthday party. She's kind of the cutest little girl you'll ever see in your life (even with cake shoved waaaaaaay up her nose).

yeah... I said waaaaaaay up her nose!

She's kind of a princess... reminds me of her mom.

Turkey Run State Park with the fam'

2008-07-21T20:00:00.003-07:00

These are some images of my son, Keller, and our dog, Jasmine, at Turkey Run State Park. We recently took a day trip over there to show Keller a bit of what God has to offer. If you've never been, I'd highly suggest taking the journey to Crawfordsville to check it out.

Keller Abram White

2008-06-29T10:51:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the blog. For my inaugural posting I wanted to introduce my son, Keller Abram White. He's pretty much a little ball of joy and damn cute too (I'm pretty bias when it comes to this kid). Not too long ago I was watering some plants around the house and he was very curious and wanted to help, so I handed him the hose, grabbed my camera and started shooting.

You can see more from this session in the "client galleries" section of my website at brianallencreative.com.
