Fishers, Indiana -- October 27, 2012

There's nothing I love more than a good story. 

And there's nothing that tells a story better than photos. Especially a love story... and to keep from having a 3,432 page blog post, I created storyboard images to upload to the blog! Takes a bit more time, so we'll see how it goes.

If you like it better, let me know. I'd love feedback!

I was so excited to capture Christy and Sean's wedding day! They are some seriously niiccccceeeee people. I loved meeting them at their engagement session a few months back, and I knew Christy was seriously working hard to make her day perfect.

Fast forward a couple months and here we are!

Christy had the most gorgeous dress. I've been one lucky girl to have photographed so many gorgeous brides this year. The back! Those details! It's a photographers dream!

Details help tell a story. See that canvas below - that's my image from their engagement session! Christy made strawberry jam as wedding favors, my fav! Loved all of her personal touches.

Ring. Bling. 

Cranked up the ISO on this next set - we didn't want to see cars in the parking lot. :)  

Simple. Beautiful. Bride.

Meet the girls, they were superfun. And seriously good at keeping Christy from getting too emotional. Great job girls :)

Groomsmen. They had me practically rolling on the ground behind my lens. True story.

Oh, just a little aisle-walkin' going on in this next shot.

By the way, are you kidding me with this look between Christy and her dad? My goodness. Look how much they look alike here!

THEY DID IT!

I lovelovelove the first few minutes after the B&G leave the ceremony area. It's the first time they can really grasp what just happened - as Christy and Sean opted not to see each other before the ceremony. And they say doing the first look ruins the surprise! They would NOT STOP SMILING! It was so contagious. :)

Another thing, Sean here. There's a photo just like this of Christy in a bit.

They.love.each.other.so.much. 

Just a little fun in the sun here. 

Love these.

Ahh! The gorgeous light! Even though it was super-freezing (especially for the girls!), I'm sososo glad we stepped outside for a few minutes. I love how happy they are. Seriously, no posing here people.

I don't even have any words for these.

I feel so honored that *I* got to be the one to spend the first few minutes of their marriage with these two. 

Swoon worthy.

That girl. Her eyes. That light. Sigh.

Do your cheeks hurt from smiling yet?

We tried shooting Christy's bouquet inside, and while they turned out - there is absolutely no substitute for 5 o'clock light.

Loved her colors.

Sean was practically a model by the end of formal portraits :)

One of my FAVORITE parts of a wedding. When the couple makes their grand reappearance for the first time as husband and wife all celebrity-like and so happy. The applause. The cheers. The fist bumps! I. Love.

Let them eat CAKE! 

First Dance. 

Their DJ - Rob Dean, did a great job with the lighting and song selections. 

Bride/Father of the Bride & Groom/Mother of the Groom dances.

Time to party, people!

It's Photo Booth time.

What a fun reception! Everyone was dancing like mad. Then, the worm happened by Michelle. Enough said about that. :)

Ah, the end of our photo journey. Congratulations Sean and Christy, wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. Cheers!

BUT WAIT! There's more!
