As some of you may know, before being a wedding photographer I was a graphic designer. At one of the interviews I went to in Bloomington, Indiana I showed someone the wedding invitations I designed for our own wedding as part of my portfolio. A year later I got an email from a bride who had remembered those invitations and suddenly had discovered we were now wedding photographers! Isn’t it weird how things work out?

Natalie was a graphic designer too! Designing her own invites, save the date cards, programs, and everything else!! Natalie has been one of our favorite brides to chat with about her wedding, exchanging ideas about paper, and shots, and everything else in between.

We met with Natalie at the Zen Salon early in the morning and I don’t think the excitement ever once left her eyes. All of her friends were so excited there with her. Afterwards we headed to her beautiful home where she got all of her makeup on and fed us super yummy Panera sandwiches (holy cow were they good!!). Once lunch was over and everyone was ready we headed to their church, St. Barnabus, where over 400 people had begun to arrive to help them celebrate their day. This is where I met Matt.

Matt’s a twin by the way, so when looking at photos, it was even hard for us during the ceremony we had to remember that Matt had a cream flower and his brother had a red flower. It was very confusing! Cathy’s dad is a twin so we’re a bit used to it, but still. What a brain workout! Everyone was was so excited to see these two get married, including the pastor who always wears sandals who wore (sorry for the ridiculous typo that used to be here!!) matching socks to Natalie’s colors just for her!

It was so fun getting to the reception, at The Atrium, and seeing a little place card just for us! Getting a chance to eat with the family always helps us get to know our couples even more as the evening goes on, and just listening to the bridal parties emotional stories makes us feel so honored to be a part of our couples lives. Suffice to say a lot of happy tears were shed by all.

We were so excited as well to see B&C Digital Media there and were super-easy to work with. They are another husband and wife team, like us, but do videography. Suffice to say there were a lot of couples working hard, not just Natalie and Matt! Either way our first wedding of 2009 was just plain awesome and we loved every minute of it. Thank you so much to Natalie and Matt for making us feel like family, and we hope to work with you guys again sometime in the future.

Anyways, on with the photos!!!

Thanks for watching!! -David.
