September 25, 2009

I just typed up the equivalent to a novel for this post.  And then deleted it.

Sometimes in life things happen that change the way you think and behave from that moment on. Now, I’m not saying this wedding deconstructed my belief system, but it definitely changed the way I approached shooting weddings. Forever.

And now, I’m not even going to tell you why. Because I don’t know. When I figure it out myself I’ll let you know.

I do know that I can’t thank everyone involved in this wedding enough. The amazing vendors I got to work with. The crazy 600 person bridal party which never let a second be dull. April Foster. The tower of cupcakes. A guest who asked me if I was Janelle, the bride. (I thank them because Janelle’s quite the looker as you’ll see. If only I could look like that!!) Jeff. Just because you’re cool and suave and understated. He is. And lastly, Janelle. Because she’s beautifulsmartkindsassyandifIfindonemorereasoni’llgag.

P.S. J squared were together for something crazy like 11 YEARS before they married!

Lastly, please ignore my blatant love for all things girly as I completely included too many bride/bridesmaids photos. But it’s okay. You’ll like ‘em. : )

jj0001jj0002jj0003jj0004jj0005I really loved this next moment. And the next. And the next. And the next.

I literally gave up when picking ceremony photos. I had a list that I was drowning it to put on here, so since its MY blog I’m leaving it to just these!

April Foster ROCKED. IT. OUT. for the reception lighting, day of planning, details, and all around glamorosity that she is. Don’t hate. It’s a word now.jj0011jj0012

I could go on for hours about how much I’ve adored Dani for so long. (As well as how many others have as well; we both went to middle and high school together, many of the same classes and ran track together-I would know.) I could go on about how beautiful she is. I could go on how funny Dan is (especially when he makes fun of Dani). I could go on about Dan is a stud and should look into modeling if the Mulch/Flower business kicks it. Also, which I highly doubt because his sweet logo was the VERY FIRST thing I noticed in Muncie. I HEART Mulch. Look at the end of this post for evidence. You should probably ask for a shirt too, there’re so en Vogue. I could also go on about how much a city girl Dani is, yet she sticks it out with chickens and lots of dirt on her property. Which by the way, are also very en Vogue. I digress. I could also go on about how I love when I get to photograph however I want because I’m trusted just to do what I do best. It always goes better that way. But I won’t go on. You should just see for yourself, and see what you think…
