PART ONE::
Corrie & Trent are such an amazing couple! I was so sad to find out that are schedules were not going to match up to shoot an engagement session before the wedding, so I gave them the option of having me join them for the rehearsal dinner instead....
I love having the chance to shoot with a couple prior to the wedding day. I have found that it offers the couple a sense of comfort to know how I approach shooting the wedding day and I love having the time to interact with them as well....by having the opportunity to shoot the rehearsal dinner for them I was able to meet everyone in their families and bridal party, which was a major plus and totally a blast!!
The rehearsal dinner was held on the second floor of Stable's Steakhouse in Terre Haute Indiana. It is a locally owned and operated and has SO MUCH character! We had fun shooting a mini E-Session with them after their guests had went home for the evening....here are a few of my favorites!!
PART TWO ::
The wedding day....it was perfect! I wish I could shoot a wedding like this one EVERY weekend....The weather was fabulous, everyone was happy and Corrie was stunning!
They started by getting ready in Corrie's home, which was just a short drive from the White Chapel...
Corrie had my DREAM dress! It had two wonderful outer 'jackets' that were made of beautiful lace and bead work...(one for the ceremony & one for the reception!)
Aww...Trent!
Patiently awaiting the ceremony!
Corrie & Trent held their reception at the Rose Hulman Dining Hall (just a short walk down the lane from the White Chapel) which was conveniently nestled on Rose Hulman's campus. I love shooting there! So much natural light and the campus is filled with great locations for shooting outdoor portraits!
Cake by the super awesome KT Cakes!
Matt Lueking with Showtime Music kept the party hopping all night long! I've never seen so many awesome moves! ....There were some great silhouette moments at this location too!!
Corrie's sister, Mandy, sang her heart out for Trent and his family as a dedication to his late mother. It was a truly emotional moment for everyone that was there...Mandy has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard...
The Fabulous Flowers were designed by Jerry at The Station Floral...
I love me some detail shots! Jeaneatte & Her team at Simple to Elegant coordintated and decortated the event sites! Beautiful!!
Corrie and Trent! I can't tell you how thankful I am that I got to work with you on your wedding day! You two were the perfect couple to work with in every way.....I really feel like I made some life-long friends that day with you and your guests and I can't wait for your family portrait session coming up this fall!
Samantha...is it bad that I almost shed a tear when reading your blog post? ;) I can't tell you what an AMAZING wedding day we had and your pictures prove it!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures do tell a story and I think that if someone wasn't able to be there that day, they are able to follow right along and feel that they were there by just looking at your pictures!!! :)
My day was perfect and I couldn't even imagine you not being there with us. You captured so many pictures that captured our hearts as well. Thanks for everything!!! Look forward to our family session in the fall.
