Kristene and Josh chose to get married at the lovely Avon Gardens in Avon Indiana! The place was packed with amazing flowers, ponds, arches, and great places to photograph. It was a perfect place for a wedding, and the perfect time to take some shots I have wanted to take for a while but the situations haven't been there.
As soon as I saw Kristene I was blown away!!! Talk about gasping beautiful! I photographed her and her bridesmaids, while Laney photographed the boys...which by the way she got some shots of them in a tree! Ya I know, how excited are you to see those? Should be interesting! When we started photographing the Bride by herself that is when our creative juices started flowing! Its sooo great working with Laney, a fresh eye never hurts, and she always has creative poses to through out there! Most of the winning shots from the wedding were thought of by her, and I am now wondering why I ever do a wedding alone!
The wedding was spectacular, with rose petals, white chairs, a beautiful arch, and roses roses roses! I captured the glimmer (and possibly a tear of happiness) in the grooms eye as she walked down the aisle, and who could blame him, she was stunning! I got lucky when the first kiss came around because the pastor was behind them, and it looked like they were the only ones in front of the arch.
They really seemed to have fun with the wedding party shots! We even got a shot of the bride hitch hiking with the best man, and the groom hitch hiking with the maid of honor! They all had sunglasses too, so we shot a few of those, as well as a shot of them all jumping in the air. The reception area was great! White tents, and twinkle lights, and one awesome cake!! I got so into this wedding that I didnt even notice, until it was too late that my whole front was soaked. For those of you that dont know I have a 3.5 year old son, and a 6 month old son, and he is breastfed!! Yes it is very hard for a working mom to breast feed but I was determined to do so with him, and it has paid off substantially. Anyways, I was soooo into this wedding that I didnt even notice that my chest felt like it was going to explode (which is the usually feeling when I'm paying attention) and decided to leak all over me. Good thing I was wearing a black shirt, no one seemed to notice, and I didnt even notice until my arm brushed up against it.
It will be a few weeks until I am done editing this wedding, but I hope everyone has enjoyed the preview! I couldn't wait to edit a few so I stayed up until 1am the night of the wedding editing a few shots that I couldn't get out of my head. Its weddings like these that remind me why I am a wedding photographer, and puts excitement back into it!
