Austin & Ariana's Wedding at the Delaware Country Club
When a couple loves like this couple loves one another, capturing their wedding day is just so easy! Any moment they could be kissing and holding each other, they were. From the moment I saw these two together, I knew they were meant to be. They love one another so effortlessly and that showed through in all of their wedding photos. It was reallllly windy and chilly out on their wedding day, but Austin Burton wrapped Ariana up in her coat and carried her from spot to spot, he played her a song on his guitar, and admired her the entire day. I have known Austin since we were young, and this is the happiest I have ever seen him. Congratulations you two on a beautiful wedding, and future together! Thanks for being such troopers in the cold and making me ohh and ahhh over you guys all day!

Danielle and Drake's Wedding At The Barn at Cottonwood with Kyla Jo Photography
Danielle & Drake were married on October 5, 2019 at The Barn at Cottonwood in Parker City, Indiana. They are high school sweethearts and had the two most adorable doggies who were included on their special day. Their bridal party was so much fun to photograph and a huge part of their day. I think I laughed and smiled more at their reception than I ever have before, the dance floor was full almost the entire time! Thank you Danielle & Drake for having me capture your wedding day, I might have went a little over board with your preview! Woops!

Mariah & Kohl Wedding at Cornerstone
Mariah & Kohl are so sweet and their wedding was absolutely classy and romantic. The two of them were surrounded with love the entire day, by their bridal party and family members. Cornerstone in downtown Muncie was absolutely beautiful with it’s murals and elegant stair ways. They could not have picked a more fitting venue for the two of them. Congratulations on your marriage and your future years together.

Katelyn & Jacob's Wedding Day // August 24, 2019
Katelyn & Jacob’s wedding day was absolutely gorgeous. Their venue was amazing with their ceremony right in front of a huge willow tree and an arch way her dad made for her. Both of their families were so supportive and sweet, their bridal party was so much fun to be around, and her best friend Dixie (her doggy) was next to her all day. It was a magical day with her gorgeous dress and smile and their love for one another. I was so so happy to capture their special day for them! I can not wait to see what their future holds for them!

Leah & Devin Wedding Reception
Get you a man that looks at you like Devin looks at Leah! I loved being able to capture Leah & Devin’s second wedding reception. It poured rain on my drive there and snowed about 2 inches on my way home. Somewhere in between Indiana’s dramatic weather, we got about 40 minutes to capture family, bridal, and couple portraits outside! The Cope Environmental Center was such a modern and unique venue, I loved the modern architecture and the natural light pouring in from outside. These two are so sweet and laid back, and have so much love for one another. Here is a large sneak peek of their family portraits, couple portraits, and a few details from their wedding reception.

I am still trying to process this past weekend’s Reset Conference in Louisville Kentucky at the Seelbach. I started out my weekend with a shootout at the hotel with Tara Ruby, which was absolutely amazing. I will be sharing photos here soon, she worked with us on composites, props, bean bag poses and two adorable little babies who made great models. After leaving Tara’s shootout, I headed to the Heigold Facade with Vanessa Hicks at 5pm.
She had a gorgeous stylized shoot planned for all of us, with 3 different stations. My first station was the dining table with gorgeous place settings, a huge dining table, and beautiful florals. After leaving the dining table we photographed all of the stationary, details, shoes, and rings. I am such a big detail person, so this was my jam! Vanessa did an amazing job on collecting and bringing detail items for us to shoot and layout together. This is where we photographed the cake and huge sign against the old brick background. My final station was the bride and groom, luckily they were actually a real couple and engaged (we hit the jackpot)! Taylor and Tyler both were such good models, so sweet and cuddly. I loved the door way and industrial look of the location.
We were shooting in straight sun, but made the absolute best of it! Thank you so much Vanessa Hicks, for all of your hard work choosing and working with all of the vendors all the way from Hawaii.
This past weekend, I learned so much. I took so many notes, and have so many ideas to put towards my business. I got to attend so many talented photographers and business owner’s talks. (I included a list of the speakers and shootout leaders that I got the privilege of learning under, below.) Did I mention that I already bought my ticket for next years Reset Conference in Lexington? If you are a fellow photographer, you should definitely plan on coming next March 28-29th and meet and learn from some amazing and talented photographers.
