We had a beautiful warm day at Oakwood Resort, a wonderful venue for a wedding. Congratulations guys and I hope you are enjoying getting back from your honeymoon.
Always onward.
One thing that's hard for me sometimes is that I want to explore every type of photography and create in so many new types of ways. People who are smarter at marketing and branding than I am would tell me to just settle into a niche, no matter how bored I am, and just hammer them out. Shoot the same location, shoot the same poses, shoot the same lighting. I'm afraid that I am not designed to do that. Lately I've heard some feedback that I'm known for photographing in a darker way, which was great news because it gave me a chance to try and shoot lighter. I'll always be drawn to more moody photos, but there are so many textures available to make that a reality and what is moody without the contrast of joy? I guess what I'm saying is if you see a variety of looks coming up, don't be dismayed. Just let me know which of the looks you have been enjoying and I'll make sure you get that in your shoot :). This is Alex and she's been great at helping out when I need to be creative without a predetermined result. Part of my inspiration for this shoot was a Sue Bryce type of look, which is usually the furthest from my photo vocabulary. I even tried to be ok without perfect sharpness which has been a priority for me in the past. I will continue to grow and evolve, but the exciting thing is that I will be able to reference the ways I used to shoot as i go, so if I need to go back to a thing I learned earlier, I have that in my repertoire. Always onward :-).

Joe and Lindsey are married- Chicago, South Bend, Elkhart, Goshen wedding photographer
I first met Joe and Lindsey through my wife, and they have become great friends. I could tell that details were important with this wedding. They planned for everything and it all went off wonderfully, even with scattered showers. I trust that we'll continue to make memories together, and it was an honor to be their photographer!
Tim and Maryn are married! - Goshen, South Bend, Elkhart, Chicago wedding photography
These guys were awesome. It starts to feel like family when you see families and seniors all through the guests that I've already had the honor of photographing. What a beautiful wedding.
Grant and Jennifer are married!
That's me! We eloped last week, and it was marvelous. I was a bit more nervous than i thought I would be at the courthouse, but it was a wonderful, relaxing day.
Vanessa and Tyler and married!
We had rain every single min of the day and it didn't dampen the mood at all. A beautiful wedding, and It was an honor to photograph it. Congrats!
Ashley and Taylor are married!
Ashley and Taylor brought the party! This was hopefully the last wedding this spring that had snow, but we powered through :-). The reception was at the always beautiful Sylvan Cellars, and we took advantage of every inch of the dance floor.
Matt and Samantha are Married!
It was an honor to photograph Matt and Samantha's wedding. I've gotten to know Matt through a friend and we've spent some fun times disc golfing and working on race cars. We had one of the weirdest weather days I've ever had for a wedding, but it got me one of my favorite wedding images ever; a snow storm and a fully blooming tree in the same photo. I wish you guys the best in your life together!
