Oh, the weather outside is frightful…but looking at these warm, GREEN images from last fall are helping to get me through until Spring!  Brittany and Brent are currently residing in Florida and missing this fabulous Indiana winter!  But they’ll be back next September to celebrate their home town wedding.

I loved how easily they became comfortable in front of the camera.  Having never met them in person prior to the session, there is often a “warming up” period that happens.  Not with them!  They were laughing and snuggling from the word go!

I had such a great time with you two and looking forward to your fall wedding :)  Hope you two are enjoying long walks on the beach while we’re all struggling to stay warm ;)

Just two days ago, you were introduced to little Killian…now here is an update on big brother Rogan!  He is at the age now where almost everything he says is cute :)  He keeps us all cracking up without even trying.  Since adding a little brother, he has become quite the caretaker as well, even shooing the nurses away at the hospital because he wanted to be the only one to take care of his new brother ;)

These were taken at the very end of fall last year.  I think his personality speaks loud and clear!

Nothing cuter than a boy with his dog ;)

Little Rogan, you keep life interesting :)  Love you to the moon and back!

Gorgeous couple, gorgeous wedding.  This day was a photographer’s DREAM!  The entire schedule for the day was planned around the photographs.  Maggie knew she wanted to implement a lot of different locations and together, we plotted the perfect balance of time and place :)  The day began at the Hilton downtown Fort Wayne in a room filled with Maggie’s dearest friends, breakfast goodies…and great light!

And in a room nearby (but on a different floor), a similar scene was taking place with the men.

Before wedding day, Dayne was certain that he didn’t want to see Maggie before the ceremony.  But Maggie’s desire for photographs along with our time limitations at the church, we all knew it would be best to have a First Look.  Maggie had one last look in the mirror before meeting Dayne downstairs for the first time.

Their First Look was one of my all time favorites!  I know Dayne wasn’t thrilled about it…at first.  I always leave that choice up to the couples.  BUT, about half way through the morning as we were all laughing and walking through downtown Fort Wayne, Dayne actually looked over to me and said something like, “Thank you for talking me into this.”  He was now able to spend the ENTIRE day with Maggie and all of their friends, relaxing and enjoying every moment together.

The above image of Maggie was taken just before she walked to the church for the ceremony.

And if you think having a First Look takes away from the moment the groom sees his bride coming down the aisle, think again…..

And here’s the BEST part!  Dayne’s grandmother owns a farm that is just a couple of miles from the church.  The entire wedding party headed there after the sendoff and we had over an hour to relax and shoot, shoot, shoot :) :)

Then it was off to the lovely reception at Bergstaff Place

Maggie and Dayne, words cannot express how much I loved working with you and your families.  I hope your day was everything you had hoped for and more.  Best of luck to you both for years and years to come…and thanks to Hank for the dance ;)
