My First Slideshow

I have been working most of the weekend on this and I believe I am ready to show my first slideshow. This one is from my sister's wedding last weekend - Craig & Candice. From now on, I will post a slideshow of my favorites from each wedding instead of individual images. Enjoy!

Craig and Candice got hitched!

On Saturday, May 19th, my little sister got married at Bethel United Church of Christ. They had their reception at Kirby's in downtown Evansville which, by the way, always has wonderful food! It was a very exciting day for everyone involved, especially for me who played many roles in the wedding like - photographer, coordinator, chauffeur, family member, mommy to my little ring bearer and many other things. It was a very exhausting and long day for me but also very rewarding because I was able to capture all of the wonderful moments for my sister's perfect wedding day. Soon they will be off to Yale for Craig to finish school and she will be greatly missed here at home!

You may view their wedding images here: http://www.fehrman2wedding.weddingherald.com/ and here: www.fehrman3wedding.weddingherald.com (keep in mind that I was at their wedding 12 hours, not including the rehearsal, and we had three photographers that day so there are a BUNCH more images than usual)

I also want to send out a special THANKS to my good friend and fellow photographer, Pat McDonald, who took over the formal photography at this wedding to allow me to capture many candid moments. I also want to THANK my assistant, April Nordenbrock, who helps me at almost every wedding with gathering and posing people for formals and many of the details and organization that goes on behind the scenes at every wedding. Did I mention that she takes photographs too? April got some awesome candids for me at the reception too! I could NOT have done this wedding without these two ladies!! I do feel sorry for Craig and Candice, though, who had the paparazzi following them around all day......but I think they will be happy when they see their images!

This is my favorite image of Candice:

My cute little ring bearer:

WOW! I can't pick a favorite of Craig and Candice since there are just too many! We spent about an hour in the park downtown after the wedding taking photos.

Here are a couple of my faves:

Congrats to Zach & Amy!

Wow! It amazes me how time slips away from me during my busy season. I photographed this beautiful couple's wedding back on April 28th and I just realized today that I never put their story on my blog. The wedding and reception were at St. Joseph Catholic Church (in the county) which was one of the few churches I have never shot at. Well, I was amazed at the beauty of the church and what great architecture and lighting it has. The wedding was wonderful and Zach and Amy even trekked through an old cemetery to get to an awesome gazebo for some more photos.

Usually I create my blog entry before I design the couple's collage, but since I did everything a little backwards on the processing of this wedding, I am posting the collage that I designed for Zach & Amy's proof magazine.

Dan and Nichole are engaged!

Last weekend I had a wonderful time in downtown Evansville photographing Dan and Nichole's engagement photos. They are planning to marry in August at the beautiful St. Boniface Catholic Church on Evansville's West side. They are such a great couple and by the end of the session Nichole was getting pretty good at modeling and even posing Dan. We had an awesome time and I am looking forward to their wedding day.

What is Wolfgang?

Wolfgang Classical Wind Ensemble is where I spend my Friday evenings. I bet many of you didn't know that I am also a musician. I guess it is just the "artist" in me that drew me to pull my flute out after twelve years of not playing it. I have now been playing for the past nine years and just last October, I joined Wolfgang and am now playing flute and piccolo there. On Wednesday night we had our K.V. Bryant Memorial concert in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. We will be playing again this Sunday evening on May 6th at 7:00 pm at Old North United Methodist Church on Stringtown Road (it is right past Evansville Country Club). So, if you have nothing better to do on a Sunday evening, come on over and enjoy some nice classical music. You can read more about the group here: http://noonsmusic.com/id21.html
