Indianapolis Wedding Photographers – Cathy and David | Midwest and Destination Weddings bio picture

Meet Cathy and David, Wedding Photographers.

We tell stories of people in love. It's more than just taking photographs at weddings for us. Originally, we were graphic designers and photography was a hobby. After our wedding we realized what we were supposed to do. Now, we are full time wedding photographers and we shoot weddings in Indianapolis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Atlanta and New York, just to name a few. We use our design background to put together amazing wedding photography albums for our clients and to help other photographers with their branding, along with designing letterpress wedding invitations for some of our couples.

We love to travel, restaurant hop, enjoy film, camp and play video games. We get to quench a bit of our thirst for travels with all the wedding destinations we go to. We try new foods along the way, meet up with other photographers, and try to enjoy life at it's fullest. 

Miller Park Bloomington Engagement Session | Emily and Mike

Monday, December 7, 2009 Engagement Sessions, Photography Sessions

Engagement Photography Session at Miller Park – Bloomington, Illinois
Post by David – Cathy and David Photographers

A little back story is necessary for this engagement session. If you’ve read our blogs before or know me very well, you’ll know that I’m from Bloomington, Illinois (a story I always find amusing since we live in Bloomington, Indiana). My parents run Herrin Animal Hospital (well, they are retiring in about 20 days or so and we’ve got their retirement party coming up soon in a blog entry!) and I lived in Bloomington for most of my childhood. A while back I started finding people I went to high school with on facebook. One of them was Emily, who I went to school with since I was no taller than a yard stick. She’d started following our blog and loved our photos and when she got engaged we were so excited when she contacted us about her wedding.

Well a little while back we met up with her and her super-nice fiance, Mike, in my hometown and went to Miller Park, a regular childhood destination for me. It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day surrounded by days of yuck. We totally lucked out. :-D Anyways, backstory and location aside, on with the photos! :)

I loved the sunlight shining off the water in this shot. :)

LOVE! :-D

Did I mention what a beautiful day it was?

So Emily and.. well… Okay, Mike is a HUGE White Sox fan. Emily likes supporting his love. :-D

Miller Lake was absolutely pristine that day. Barely a ripple. :)

We were also graced with one of the prettiest sunsets I’ve seen in a long time. :D

We absolutely loved shooting this session. The beautiful day, and the flashbacks to high school were wonderful. We cannot wait to shoot Emily and Mike’s wedding next year!

Thanks for reading! – David.

December 8, 2009 - 2:00 pm Chely - Truly amazing pictures.....and by the way, I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that it was meant for you to photograph Emily's wedding,I'm pretty sure Emily feels that way too. Evidence is in the fact that the day was a "gorgeous day surrounded by days of yuck". Nope, not a coincidence!!

Bloomington Family Portrait Photography | Sarah, Eric, and Alexander

Saturday, December 5, 2009 Family Portraits, Photography Sessions

Family Portrait Photography – Bloomington, Indiana
Post by David – Cathy and David Photographers.

Sarah and Eric, the mom and dad of today’s family session, met at Indiana University, here in Bloomington, about five years ago while they were going to school. Now married, they have a beautiful baby boy, Alex, who absolutely was a total ham for the camera. We always love taking pictures of children at weddings so when we get the chance to have that be a bit of the focus for a shoot we always jump at the opportunity. Cathy and I simply love kids, and our nephew and (future) niece live in Chicago, Illinois so we don’t get to see them very often. These sorts of opportunities are a nice excuse to make silly faces at children. :)

My favorite of the day. :)

This guy was a crawler! He reaaaally wanted to see my camera. :-D

No idea why but he LOVED being upside-down. :)

Squishy-kiss-face time!!!! :)

While their son watched we snapped a couple photos of just his Mom and Dad. :)

Thanks so much to the family for being such super-sweet people. We loved working with you guys and we hope to see you again down the road for more photos of your beautiful son! :)

Thanks for reading! – David.

Indiana State Representative Candidate Photos | Wes Robinson

Monday, November 23, 2009 Photography Sessions, Portrait Sessions

Political Candidate Photography Session – Indianapolis, Indiana and Beach Grove, Indiana
Post by David.

I’ve always tried to keep politics out of business, twitter and facebook. I’ve always found discussing such things in person over a glass of wine and dinner to be much more enjoyable, and less stressful. :) But, when Cathy found out that her friend, Wes Robinson, was running for State Representative, we knew we had to help. Wes is the son of a pastor that Cathy went to church with when she was younger and has known him for a very long time. We were so excited at the opportunity to be able to take his photos that will be used on their upcoming website (site coming soon!). Wes is running as the Republican candidate for the Indiana House of Representatives, District 97, which includes Indianapolis and Beach Grove. He also works as a Neuro Critical Care RN in Indy. He’s actually known for being ‘the male nurse’. Right after we got back from San Francisco (photos coming soon, promise! :-D ), we met up with him on the circle to take photos before heading over to Beach Grove. Finally we got some photos of him in his nurse scrubs. We had an awesome time working with Wes and look forward to seeing how his political career goes. Go Wes! :)
