Rachel and Ian Martinez

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
