Though I have never been great at updating my blog, this past year I had a reason. My lovely wife, Nicole, was pregnant and in the fall we were blessed with our little Addie. The poor child may have her whole life documented and while she may not be a fan of it right now, I’m sure she’ll appreciate it when she’s older.
This is the last one from these guys, I promise. The culmination of getting engaged, rehearsal dinner, and now its their big beautiful wedding. Here are the wedding and reception pics and perhaps a little highlight video (video pros, here’s a tip: if you are shooting a video near a smoke machine, try not to get smoke in you camera, it gives everything a bit of an 80s-style romantic vibe).
If you are looking for more info than the title, you are looking in the wrong place! Here are some pics from Dressler’s rehearsal dinner – at Churchill Downs including face (and bald head) painting!
Wasting no time at all, let’s journey to the wedding of the previous couple. Enjoy:
This post should be titled “In the nick of time.” We had originally scheduled these photos to be taken on 4 separate dates that were all rained out, but we persevered. We finally got together to make this magic the week before the actual wedding (which will be posted soon as well). I don’t know if the person who named Keeneland Racetrack appreciated the name, but it was definitely a keen-land to take pictures! Bazinga! Seriously though, 2 more super nice people, I’m not sure how I’m getting so fortunate with these people whose weddings I get to shoot but judge for yourself.
Enjoy!
So, if you keep up with my Facebook, you’re probably wondering why this blog hasn’t been updated lately. And that is exactly the reason. Facebook has become the quick and easy way to get my art (I know, I know, I’m laughing too) on the interweb without coming up with a clever story to go with it. So, after a couple of months, here is my clever story for the Dillmans’ wedding.
This one really blew me away, literally. I have never been to such a blustery ceremony, I kept waiting for THIS to happen. But…it didn’t. The wind did nearly blow over my videographer, Hank, as well as wreak havoc on the seats. That didn’t stop this fine looking folks from getting together though. They pushed the craziness aside and danced the night away as husband and wife with some fun, but probably dangerous dancing (I’m going to be a great dad!).
Plus, a huge shout out to Carla at the Community Life Center for keeping this day rocking and rolling.
Enjoy the pics:
Ashley and Rob kicked of 2011 (months ago, but blogging seems to escape me) – which has become the year of the couples that could be models. These 2 got hitched in Southern Indiana at St. Marks United Church of Christ, a beautiful little place in New Albany. They had their reception right down the street at The Grand. If you have not been to the Grand, well, it is grand. It a classical looking theatre with a very modern vibe inside. The modern vibe makes it a great place if you are looking for a reception with flashing lights and a smoke-filled entrance to O Fortuna, or a best man toast with a tasteful use of the F-word. *Editor’s note: this reception had both! Check out the highlights and make note of the giant full moon we were blessed with that night as well. Enjoy…
Paul Routon to the rescue. Tragedy was averted when this couple’s photographer let them know she couldn’t shoot their wedding one week before the big day. Like Aquaman saving dolphins from a net (I am the king of analogies), I swam into action. For all of the stress that planning a wedding can cause, these 2 were some cool cucumbers and very photogenic to top it off. Bonus points for multiple Dougies in the groomsmen photos!

If you are a constant follower of this blog, then well…I’m sorry. This wedding post is the first since I posted this same couple’s engagement photos a few months back. I have been in a constant state of shooting and editing video and some may be posted soon, though it may not, because said video is for sale. Boom!
Anyways, these 2 were great again. Right before some big snow, they celebrated their love in Floyds Knobs, IN. Unfortunately, it was not before a giant rain storm. They didn’t let that get them down. They bowled, they married, they partied down. Here are some of the pics and there will be video of the wedding in the future. Enjoy!

These two were great! When we discussed possible location shoots for their engagement photos, they requested they have their dogs in the photos as well. And they brought 2 of the sweetest best behaved puppos I’ve met. After the shenanigans my Grover pulls at the house, this was a nice switch off. This shoot also included the most hiking I have done in years, but I think the final results are worth it. Keep an eye out because Lyndsey and Jason are getting married next month and their wedding photos and video will be posted here as well.
