Ann and Chris - Part II

Back in February, I photographed Ann and Chris' wedding in New Harmony. I knew that they had their wedding reception scheduled for June but I didn't know if I would be available to shoot it. So, a couple of days before the reception Ann called me and luckily I was available to shoot this fun event. The reception was held at The Players Club in Henderson, KY. We started the evening with rain but then it cleared off so that they could have the chipping contest that they had planned. The way this worked is that each person paid to hit their ball from the clubhouse onto the 18th green that was lit up like a runway, then the winner got half of the pot and the couple got the other half. Well, the lucky winner ended up giving his half of the pot to Ann and Chris which was completely unexpected!

Randy & Tina are Engaged!

Randy and Tina are planning to marry on August 25, 2007 at Crossroads Christian Church, which happens to be my home church. I am very excited about their wedding as it will be the first one that I have had the pleasure of photographing in the new chapel! I will also be working with Saundra Hadley who will be planning and coordinating their wedding day. You can visit Saundra's website here: http://planningforever.com

Randy and Tina chose my Urban Engagement Session and have also requested that I design the Guest Book. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of their Guest Book which should be here any day now!

Time to catch up on blogging!

WOW! June is just flying by and I have been a very busy girl. I have photographed a wedding reception, three weddings and two engagements and I still have one more wedding to go this month, which is why I am a bit behind in my "storytelling". I will be posting several events today to get caught back up.

We also bought a new car this month and had to go to Illinois last week to pick it up. My husband has been after me for the past six months about replacing his truck that he had driven for the past ten years. He said either he gets a new vehicle or he gets my 4Runner. The problem with that was that I really LIKE my 4Runner and wasn't going to give it up without a fight! So, I told him that I would let him have it IF I could get a yellow Nissan Xterra. Several of my closest friends and family know that I have wanted one for the past four years so they were not surprised to hear that was the only way I would give up my 4Runner. So, we set out looking for one on the internet and found it at Monken Nissan in Centralia, IL.

Randy Heuberger was our salesman and was a pleasure to work with, especially since most of the "dealing" was done through phone and email. So, if you are looking for a new or used car and don't mind driving a couple of hours, Randy is the man!

Here are a couple of pics of the Xterra that Randy emailed me. I thought I would use his since this is probably the cleanest this baby will ever look!



I will never again lose my car in the Walmart parking lot.

Joe & Natalie's Wedding

On May 26th, I had the pleasure of photographing Joe and Natalie's wedding at Bauer's Grove. The wedding colors were among my favorites - hot pink and tan. Actually, this is the first wedding I have shot where the tuxes were anything but black. I really enjoyed the uniqueness of their colors. The wedding was outdoors and it couldn't have been a more beautiful day!

Here is a slideshow telling part of their wedding story:

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

Here is a link to the photos of our spring concerts, group shots and some of the individuals in the group: www.wolfgangspring2007.photoherald.com
