Layne & Hana are Married!

Layne and Hana tied the knot on a beautiful fall September 29th afternoon in Bloomington. We started out by meeting Hana and her bridal party at the Walnut Street Inn on the town square. I had never been there before, and probably never would have seen it, if I wasn't looking for it. As you can see, the only way to tell where it is, is by the sign above the very unassuming door.


The ladies were putting their finishing touches on their hair and make up and were about to head down the street to the First Presbyterian Church on the corner of 6th and Lincoln.



It must have taken a long time to braid that length of hair!


Hana's beautiful dress.


Time to head to the church!




The Jimmy John's got there so fast we freaked.




Layne arrived with his Groomsmen and nieces and was promptly outfitted with his boutonniere.



Layne's brother was his best man.


The beautiful sound of the pipe organ filled the sanctuary as the wedding ceremony began.


Here comes the bride!





And now the vows and the exchanging of the rings.


The vows...


The ring...


er, uh, the ring...


Layne, a little help?


The moment they'd been waiting for. Layne and Hana are officially man and wife, sealed with a kiss!


Time to take advantage of the beautiful scenery.










Layne displays his devotion to his second love. Indiana University.






The reception was held at the Fountain Square Ballroom.



Hana's dad and Layne's brother delivered humorous and touching toasts to the bride and groom.





Time to dance!



Congratulations Layne and Hana. Thank you for choosing us to capture the special moments of your wedding day!

Adam and Ruthann Tie the Knot!

Adam and Ruthann were married Saturday, July 28 on a beautiful Lawrence County summer day. We were honored to photograph their special day. My wife and I are friends of Ruthann and her family, and have known Adam since they began dating.


The wedding was held at Fayetteville Baptist Church, a few miles west of Bedford, Indiana. I am familiar with this church because I attended services there several times during my college days, and my twin brother and his wife were married there almost 10 years ago to the day.


Ruthann, the beautiful bride.



The bouquet was beautiful as were the purple and gold decorations that adorned their wedding.


Adam, the lucky man.



The girls gathered one last time before heading to the ceremony.


Adam's sister provided the bride some last minute comfort to ease the nerves.


Make way! The wedding is about to start!


Ruthann's niece performed the duties of flower girl to perfection. Not a petal out of place!


Adam patiently waits to see his bride march the aisle.






Adam and Ruthann had a very touching ceremony. Tissues were needed to make it through the vows. There's no doubt that Adam and Ruthann are very much in love.


You may kiss the bride!


We spent some time after the ceremony to get some photos outside in the beautiful sunshine.




Save some for the honeymoon!


A picture perfect picture of a perfect picture.






Congratulations to the happy couple. May God bless you both as you start your life as man and wife. Thank you for allowing us to take part in your special day.
