Bloomington Engagement Photography | Summer and Ryan

Post by David.
Do you remember Meredith and Ulises? Well Mer’s friend Amanda has a friend named Summer. Summer told Amanda who told Mer. That’s how the story goes. At least I think so. Currently we have 7 or 8 brides that are all crazy interconnected together..
Anyways, Cathy and I have been in talks with this...

AmyJean @RelentlessBride - July 2, 2009 - 1:30 pm

AWESOME AWESOME Photos !!! If FH and i lived closer to b-town, we’d definitely go back and take pics at our alma mater… those pics make me miss Btown.. i love the bride’s yellow shoes too :) Awesome!

These are bee-YOO-tiful! You must have hung out with them for a long time to get daylight, sunset, and nighttime pics! That’s dedication! They’re all hot, I love the nighttime ones!

Paula - June 30, 2009 - 3:07 pm

Those are really great. How are you ever going to decide.??

cindy - June 30, 2009 - 8:36 am

Incredible shots you two! Very fun and magical. BEAUTIFUL!

Sandra Uppencamp (Summer's mom) - June 29, 2009 - 7:59 pm

I’m the one who was skeptical about this photojournalism stuff. I’m the one who likes the boring traditional pictures, thanks for taking a few of those for me. I may have to change my mind because I really enjoyed these pictures. I want to know how you got Summer to look serious because she is typically smiling all the time and Ryan usually always looks serious. I think you showed how much Summer and Ryan love IU and each other. Thanks for the great photos, or should I say “photojournalism”!!!!

Rachel Jacobus - June 29, 2009 - 8:35 am

FAB FAB FAB! As always!! :-)

april (april foster events) - June 28, 2009 - 3:03 pm

I love each and every one of these photos! Summer – you are gorgeous. Can’t wait to work with you guys on Summer and Ryan’s wedding.

Brianna - June 26, 2009 - 2:07 pm

Beautiful shots (as always). I love the changes of lighting – full light, to soft dusk, to full night. Very cool :)

Sandy Stearns - June 26, 2009 - 10:18 am

These are great pictures! I love how they capture the “natural” look. Much better than “stiff” poses. I think they show your true feelings about each other!

Lori Herrin - June 26, 2009 - 8:38 am

So you asked me last night which was my favorite and it was ::drum roll:: the first of the night shots – the one with the trees and brick building with Summer and Ryan. I also got a kick out of the one with only their shadows. How cool was it that you were able to shoot on the football field and basketball court. I’d ask how you managed to be able to do that, however, I am assuming that David made that happen? Fantastic job and as always, your enthusiasm for what you guys do show through on each and every photo.
Love you, Mom

Donna - June 25, 2009 - 6:31 pm

The pictures are amazing! I love the black and white photo of the two of you laughing!

Emily - June 25, 2009 - 6:31 pm

Sandy Kays (Ryan's mom) - June 25, 2009 - 6:30 pm

Unbelievable..I love them and cannot wait to see all those photographs…You definitely capture both Ryan and Summer. I cannot pick a favorite!!!

It was a warm, rainy evening last May when Brandon surprised Meghan by lowering one knee to the wet concrete next to the Sample Gates on I.U. campus and pulling out a ring. Meghan’s face lit up with joy, and of course she said...

Nice work, C&D! I agree with Samantha, the lighting looking out through the hotel room onto the balcony is sweet.

Stacey S. (Wedding 6-5-10) - June 25, 2009 - 3:26 pm

Oh, I’m so in love with these! Everytime I look at your photos I get more and more excited for our shoots!

Great imagery – that one shot w/ the hotel room in the foreground is ridiculously fabulous!

Lori Herrin - June 25, 2009 - 11:54 am

Fabulous photography C + D. It’s so hard to know what to say cause I want to say something new each time I make a comment. It’s getting harder though because of all the weddings you are doing. So….Lou and I need to get married all over again so that we can have fabulous memories like the ones you have created for all your couples. Once again, I am in awe of how you both work the camera. Did I say that right? LOL
Love you lots! Mom

Kelly (Daphne Photo Studio) - June 25, 2009 - 11:40 am

GORGEOUS – and even though the wedding shots are all beautiful, i think the best is the bride dancing in the kitchen before she’s ready. She looks so happy and wonderful!

Congrats to the bride and groom and congrats to C + D for capturing their wedding perfectly!!!!!
