Baby Emmett | evansville baby photographer

Earlier this week, I traveled to Kentucky to photograph Emmett. He is just having his 6 month birthday and Kristi wanted some relaxed, but professional portraits of him at their home. Emett's parents, Brian and Kristi were married about 4 years ago (correct me if I am wrong, guys) and have stayed in touch with me ever since. I had such fun photographing Emmett and the family pets and I am sure he is about one of the cutest baby boys I have met. He has the most amazing blue eyes! Emmett also has a thing for animals. I think if he could have gotten one in his mouth it would be history. Emmett's kitten's name is Gully - I think it is because she is so "gullible". Here are just a few of my favorites of Emmett and his family:

I feel bad that somehow I slipped up and didn't post any images from this wedding on my blog. Sorry guys! Amy and Mark were married on May 23rd at Old North United Methodist Church. Their wedding took place in the small chapel which is beautifully lit with stained glass windows. Their ceremony went off without a hitch (no pun intended) and their reception was held in the fellowship hall at the church. The tables were covered with different table cloths that people in their families have stitched throughout the years which was a very nice touch. Congratulations Amy and Mark - enjoy your images!

Beth + Brian | evansville wedding photographer

Beth and Brian were married last Saturday at St. Wendel Catholic Church. I have known Beth's family for about 8 years so this was a F-U-N wedding! The happy couple saw each other prior to the ceremony so we were able to finish all the photos beforehand. I later found out the reason they decided to do this. The entire bridal party had their "getaway" in Jeeps - 10 of them. They drove to a friend's nearby farm and tailgated between the wedding and reception. This group sure knows how to throw a party! We then headed to Knights of St. John for the reception. It has been recently renovated and is an awesome place for a reception. The rest of Beth and Brian's images may be viewed on my PROOFING site.

Beth and Brian - Congratulations and thanks for sharing your day with me!

I almost forgot to mention that my friend Connie Phillips came down from Indy to help me shoot this wedding - THANKS Connie!

LOVE THE SHOES!!

I really like this bridesmaid's reaction when asked to kiss her brother.

There were a couple of embarassing moments during the toasts.

The ringbearer plays a pretty mean air sax!

Kate + Alex | evansville wedding photographer

On May 2nd, Kate and Alex were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at New Harmony's Roofless Church. Thankfully, the rain held out and we were able to be outside for both the wedding and reception. Kirby's Private Dining catered the lunch which was served under a tent on the lawn of The Atheneum. The meal was scrumptious, as always. Kate and Alex were such a fun couple to work with that the day just flew by! The rest of their images may be viewed on my Proofing site.

Thanks Kate and Alex for sharing your day with us!

Ethel + Bill 50th Wedding Anniversary | evansville event photographer

On April 25th, David's parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a luncheon for them the next day at Kirby's Private Dining. The food and service was excellent (as always) and we had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends. We enjoyed a bit of laughter when they cut the cake that my friend Kay made. Bill was supposed to feed Ethel a piece of cake but he ate it himself. She laughed so hard I didn't think she would be able to eat a bite of cake and I had a hard time taking the pictures because I was laughing too. I guess when you've been married for 50 years, you can have a little blunder at your party.

My favorite "little man".

Lauren + Eric | evansville wedding photographer

Lauren and Eric were married on April 25, 2009 at Trinity United Methodist in downtown Evansville. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 80's (a big difference from Lauren's brother's wedding last April when it was in the 40's). After a wonderful wedding ceremony, we headed to The Evansville Country Club for a scrumptious meal, a yummy cake made by Lauren's aunt and some cut-loose dancing. The rest of Lauren and Eric's images may be viewed in my proofing gallery.

Congrats to you both!

Joan + Todd | evansville wedding photographer

Joan and Todd had a very nice wedding last weekend at New Bethel Baptist Church. They decided to see each other before the ceremony so that they could head straight to the reception at Kokie's Echo Valley. We had a beautiful day and were even able to spend some time taking photos at Burdette Park before the wedding. Joan's son Wyatt walked her down the aisle and gave her away. It was a lovely wedding and the party at Kokie's put the icing on the cake. The rest of their images may be viewed on my website.

Congratulation to you both!
