Carrie + Luke Pt.II {knot is tied!}

On a sweltering, yet, beautifulll day in Brown County, Indiana, Carrie and Luke tied the biggest, arguably, most serious knot that could be tied. ;)

You may remember these two fellow-Franklin College-ite friends of mine from our engagement shoot last summer, where we giggled and shot around the heart of downtown Indy.

Carrie and her twin sister, Amanda, were too sweet and adorable to shoot - especially together! The flower girls and ring bearer were also sort-of too-presh-for-words. :)

This wedding was an extra treat because I got to drive again- after 10 months of pure walking and subway travels in NYC! ... driving fast through the fields of Brown County was a blast {i've missed driving on sprawling highways - sans traffic, mind you ;)}. thankfully, i didn't get pulled over, driving my dear bro's car, heh ...

I wish the {once giggly} couple alllll of the very best, and am mega-super honoured to have been a part of their loverly wedding ... CONGRATS, Carrie and Luke!!!

... now. mayhaps next time it won't be quite as long 'til my next bloggity ... :P
happy july!!

xo

and then ... {i was exactly the same at age, heh}


someone said something really funny ...

then someone ruined the mood ... by taking some posed pics ... ;)


flower girls a-runnin'! :)


this was truly a Franklin College wedding reunion - almost the entire wedding party and many of the guests were old FC friends or staff!


Carrie's beautious bouquet ...

Love in the Afternoon.

Sara and i met under sheer luck and happenstance {aka: college dorm pot-luck}. ;)
My first-ever roomie and i met the summer prior to my freshman year of college, and the two of us became fast best buds. It couldn't have been a better fit.
Now she's found the man of her dreams, Richard/Richie - i'm fairly certain she told me stories about him our first week together at Franklin College {i'm pretty sure it was all good things?? harhar}.

Although i'm moving out to New York City this Friday {woot, woot!!!!} i will be making my way back to Indianapolis the third week of September to shoot their wedding. i may be a teensy bit homesick by mid-September anywho, so seeing them get hitched and being part of their wedding will be icing on the {wedding}cake {cheesey, iknow! ha}.

We had a gorgeous day for this engagement shoot - not too sweltering for an August day {yesss}!
I am SO, SO, SOOO THRILLED for my very first roomie and her fella. I had a blast with them - being all silly and romantic on this afternoon.
Cheers, you two!

My next post will most likely be from my new apt. in NYC, so stay tuned for more fashionista-y posts. ;D

Carrie + Luke: aka The Gigglers

Don't ask Carrie and Luke to be serious - at least not while posing for a picture {unless you want them to bust out in laughter}.
I could tell Carrie and Luke would be a fun, adorable pair to shoot, but i've never had a couple be quite so giggly when asked to do a "serious" shot. After a few times, i figured it out, and was able to use that to my advantage to get some extra goofy grins. :P
Me: Do a more serious pose - no smiles for this one.
Them: PFFT!! {hahahaha}

Here's a bit of an example - except there wasn't a serious from the get go but the reaction is perfect.

I even tried using different verbage in place of "serious" - for instance, pensive, thoughtful, that type of thing ... those words brought on the same response, if not more laughter!

I did get a few good "pensive" {my personal fav} shots, so i give them props for pulling it together ... by the wedding they'll be pros, eh? :)

"Serious" or not, they make a verrrry cute couple and are great fun to hang with on a hot summer day!

{they totally look like giddy Indianapolis tourists to me here - little do they know Indy is in fact Naptown, ha}

Cheers to Carrie and Luke! {they're wedding is this coming June 2010 :) }

one of the few "serious" shots. ;) we pretended to be staying at the Conrad for these, mwhaha ...




almost my favorite of the day {outside of Oceanaire, drooling at the thought of a $40 seafood meal}.




my personal fav of the day {love sneaky kisses}.
