Importance of photography and prints

I recently saw on Facebook a post from a photographer, about another photographer and a blog post she wrote regarding the importance of not only pictures but the value of prints. This got me thinking. I was watching CNN during coverage of the disastrous Hurricane Sandy and as Anderson Cooper was standing in water just below the knee he noticed some photographs wading through the water. He did what he could to pick them up and set them on a nearby car in hopes that they would eventually find their way back to their owner. This made what I do really hit home  and the importance of those moments that are captured in time. For all anyone knows, those photos may be one of the few remaining items that family has left and hopefully they somehow find their way back to their owners. The effect of this is two fold:

1. The emergence of the digital age in photography has made it so that in situations such as natural disasters and people lose everything that any responsible photographer has backups of their work and could potentially have photos reprinted for a family that may go through something as life changing as a hurricane. If unable to obtain digital copies for reprints a photo album or shoe box with pictures may be one of the few salvageable items from a ruined home.

2. The photos that we take can have a lasting impact that reaches beyond the day the pictures of a bride and groom or for a family who may be welcoming their first child. These photos become heirlooms for future generations to look back on.

I love what I do.

Monica + Shelby Part Two: Indianapolis Wedding Photography

The formal portraits ended and the bridal party let loose. We headed into Ft. Harrison Park which is a great spot for wedding photos. There was definitely a slight chill in the air but Monica's monogramed  shaw helped keep her warm while Shelby scooted around! It truly was a great time and these two have a long happy road ahead of them with the support of great family and friends.

Monica + Shelby: Part One Indianapolis Wedding Photography

We knew going into this one that it was going to be a fun wedding. Monica and Shelby were so much fun to work with during their engagement session that there was no doubt that their wedding would be a great time. They did not disappoint. Monica looked beautiful and Shelby was looking dapper and was  definitely wearing a custom suit :)





Monica's family can sing!!






Bagpipes are awesome. Especially when the bride and groom are walking down the aisle!



Stay tuned for part two of their wedding

katherine + wes: indianapolis wedding photography

There is no doubting their intelligence, drive, and love for each other. Katherine and Wes have great families and friends who surround them with good examples on how to make a marriage last. The dance held to see who has been married the longest was won by a couple who have been together for over 60 years. I'd say they have people to look to as they begin their new lives together as husband and wife.

The day was beautiful as the fall weather started to creep in. That fall weather gave the girls a few goosebumps but the entire party were troopers and gentlemen as they offered their coats when needed. Couldn't be happier for these two and I hope they are enjoying their well deserved vacation.
