Post by Cathy.

The dining table was covered in vases of flowers and bowls of petals, and the girls were dancing and prancing about the house with excitement as they prepared for the day. Enter us, the photographers. “It’s like I know you but I don’t,” she said, eyes wider than half-dollar coins. Anna is perhaps one of the most excited brides and devoted blog-stalkers we’ve ever met. Look back through a few of our blog posts and watch her comments grow more and more ecstatic as her own day drew near. She absolutely could not wait to marry Braden. The second Anna walked down the aisle and met him under the branches of the oak tree she’d played under as a child, it was as if everything was right. They breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke to each other some of the most devoted, heart-felt words I’ve ever heard. Everything about that ceremony was perfect, from the presence of their closest friends and family, laughing and crying, to the odd assortment of mis-matched chairs in which they sat, each one holding a spirit and personality of its own. It was perfectly them.

Anna and Braden – Thank you both so much for giving us the pleasure of capturing your day. Your personalities, your wit, and your love for each other and your families inspire us. You will forever be two of our favorite people.
Lots of love, C+D.

Meet Braden.

When Nick, Anna’s brother went off with Braden to get ready she had to hide. But she’d always try to sneak a peek.

Another shot of Anna trying to catch a glimpse of Braden.

Thanks so much guys, and thanks for reading! -Cathy.

Holly and David are one of the coolest (not to mention smashingly good-looking) couples we’ve ever had the pleasure of shooting. Their wedding took place on Sunday at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center on I.U. campus and was SO much fun! I loved every bit of their wedding, and their coordinator, the amazing April Foster, did a great job helping pull the details together. Holly and David’s family and friends were some of the nicest, most genuine people we’ve met, and the party was a blast! Also, one of David’s groomsmen was none other than Aaron Willcox, a wedding photog and all-around cool guy from San Diego. Aaron, you were a blast to hang out with (even though you shoot Nikon).

Okay, so here are some reasons why Holly and David’s wedding was so amazingly awesome:

1. Um…look at the pictures…they’re like models!

2. Holly chose peacock feathers to base the colors and decor on. GORGEOUS!!! I loooved the centerpieces and bouquets. (Also, towards the end of the reception, the peacock feathers mysteriously disappeared from the centerpieces and showed up coming out the backs of peoples shirts and pants!)

3. David and his family are very athletic and competitive and all ran a 5K the morning of his wedding! Seriously…a 5K!?
Holly and David – Wow, what can we say about you guys. You are so amazing together. We love the way that Holly smiled from ear to ear every time she looked at David, and we love the way that David cried before the ceremony as he rehearsed his vows. Thanks you two for being so awesome and for letting us capture your day! We hope you two have fun in Hawaii!!!

April Foster and Indy Event Lights did an awesome job setting all this up. By the way.. the Indy Events Lights guy is only 18 and is seriously awesome. How fantastic do these look? We know he’s off to an awesome career!!

Yep! That’s right! Bloomington, Illinois!! My (David’s) hometown! And now I live in Bloomington, IN. How weird is that?! Anyways, so my mom gets her hair done at a salon in Bloomington, IL called Jenni’s, and one of the stylists there, Kyle, found out about us through her. Nothing like having a mom who can give out shameless plugs for you.

So, a few weeks later, we met up with Kyle and her fiance John and the date was set. We arrived at Jenni’s the day of their wedding to find it completely packed full of brides and bridesmaids. It seemed that three brides would be passing through that morning, which gave us a chance to make some new photographer friends. It was surprisingly easy to stay out of each others shots even with all the mirrors!

Okay, so I have to mention what the guys ate for lunch… AVANTI’S! For those of you not aware, Avanti’s is located in Illinois and is like a drug for me. Seriously, I go there every time I’m back in town and they have the BEST sub sandwiches ever (“Gondolas”). While I was laughing it up with the guys, Cathy was off with the girls, and Kyle kept getting choked up about the big day, reminding Cathy of our own wedding, where seriously, everyone cried, including yours truly. Kyle and John’s ceremony was equally emotional, and so beautiful.

The reception was held at Swingers (it’s a golf club!!, so stop getting ideas. ) and it was a totally new experience. It had this cooky bar/underground restaurant feel to it with huge windows opening out onto the driving range, letting in a ton of light. It was fantastic shooting in and we loved it just because it was so different. Very swank choice. And at the end of the night, we parted ways with big hugs and happy faces and loved every single minute of it. Apart from one of Cathy’s lenses deciding to die on her (you’ll be hearing from us soon Canon!!!) the day went off without a single hitch! Congratulations guys on an awesome wedding, and with that, here are your photos!!!

Meet Kyle!

Meet John!

Love this one! Go Cat!

Quite possibly one of my favorite shots we’ve ever taken.

Kyle was such a sweetheart. It was hard to not get choked up myself!

We love this family shot.

LOVE!!! And seriously a super-long but super-sweet toast!!

1/160th on a 50mm f/1.4 at 6400 baby with no flash, YAH! Okay.. that was for the photogs who read this. lol. LOVE IT!

Thank you to Kyle and John for an awesome super-freaking cool time. We loved EVERY minute of it guys! Thank you so much for having us!!!

Thanks for reading! -David.
