Pharmacy school sweethearts.
ooohhh.



Tip to future groomsmen: don’t leave the rings on the top of the car and drive off.
All eyes on the bride.
His eyes on the bride.
Ssttrreettcchh lliimmoo.
5 sisters (of the bride and groom), but 7 friends.
Weaver Ridge never looked so good.

When one bridesmaid just isn’t enough…
Look at the details on those layers.




Bouquet tosses…
…lead to winners and losers.



These two don’t ever have to be instructed. They just interact so well.



Beautiful rings, dress(es), flowers, cake, locations, and people!
You guys were great. Thank you thank you.

Great pictures guys. You both looked wonderful!
That is such a beautiful,natural picture of you both in the field. It fits your personality Martha since you love the outdoors so much.
Mart- You look BEAUTIFUL!
Martha, you look gorgeous. Bride of the year in my book. Stan, what a hunk–never seen you look better.
Remember that cute couple from Eureka College? Their turn for a m-m-m-massive post.

Before and after at the salon.


on the back of her rather pink sweatshirt.

the gentlemen.


I wish I had a shot of me from my wedding like this one Rachel took. Hopefully Aaron agrees.

It never takes groomsmen very long to get ready so there’s usually some down time. Down time = basketball team photo. If you’re wondering, those trophies were just sitting in a room. Some are from baseball, some from Bible trivia.

Our last couple (Laura + Matt) decided to see each other before the wedding. Aaron opted for this tearful moment, and can you blame him? The grooms agreed on one thing – go for the kiss.



They’ll probably be picking birdseed out of their hair for the next month.





We went to Lake Eureka Park for some shots before the reception at Eureka College.






Beau grabbed this cake picture at the perfect time in the evening for some great lighting. The scene is far too peaceful…

I know, I know. Hindsight is 20/20. I still say I knew they were cake smashers when I met them on the engagement shoot.



It didn’t take long for them to make up.


Everyone behind the scenes who has seen your pictures always says you two are adorable.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your big day!

I laughed at that basketball picture for several minutes…it’s unbelievable. I love the post (and the new blog!)
I would have to agree with the photographers, most definitely a very adorable couple.
Beautiful and stunning photography guys and gals. I can wait till it’s Matt and I’s turn in September.
Is that my old buddy Ronald Reagan? I knew he was hiding out somewhere, just didn’t think it was Eureka….
The rest of the story.




Groomsmen shot – band style.


4 shots from 3 cameras heading onto the golf course.





Though Rachel and I didn’t ourselves do this, we encourage our clients to see each other before the wedding. Besides being at beautiful locations and having perfect weather, this wedding has such a variety of pictures because they gave us lots of time before the ceremony. That didn’t mean Laura + Matt didn’t have a romantic unveiling though! Her bridesmaids concocted this get-together (we just picked the location.) Laura was led to a closed-eyed Matt, and on the count of three they held hands and turned around. Matt liked what he saw and laid one on her.









At the church and at the club.




Indian Hill Country Club brought the class. We took the pictures.




What an evening!

Thanks for having us shoot your wedding guys!

[...] natural lighting is just right, you can’t beat it. That’s what happened here at our first wedding of 2009. All the black and white wedding photography wasn’t bad from that day [...]
