If there’s one thing I can tell you about Indiana universities, it’s that those who go to Depauw LOOOOVE their college! Sarah and Brad are certainly no exception! …after all, they did meet there! It was only natural that we photographed their session on their campus.
Shooting on college campuses is a bit of a challenge… after all, campuses are made to look perfect.
So finding interesting / unique locations within campus isn’t always the easiest. That being said, I love a good challenge!
Oh symmetry, how I love thee!

This is not Sarah’s first time on this blog.
You see, she is the sister to Ellen (who married Brian)… a bride we photographed and adored back in 2010.
Then we shot a few images at each of their fraternity/sorority houses. First up, Brad’s fraternity! They warned me that the Delta Tau Delta wasn’t the most beautiful house photographically. Again, I love me a good challenge. However, I beg to differ… I thought it photographed perfectly!
Then to the Alpha Phi house we went. This house was right out of a southern plantation!
For the latter half of the session we went into the small town of Greencastle and snapped a few more.
These two are so cute together! 
We came across a little farmer’s market. BOOM!

Wedding :: 6.8.13 :: St. Louis, Mo.
Together :: 11.03.07 • Engaged :: 5.19.12

How they met, as told by Sarah :: We met at the very beginning of our senior year at DePauw. We first met at a fraternity party, but didn’t really talk until the next night when we ran into each other at a local bar. Sarah unknowingly bought Brad his favorite beer, and the rest is history!

CHA CHA CHAAA!
In the army one of my drill sergeants called me “Rats Nest Sheridan” because my hair was so long and unmanageable. He was a jerk.

Sarah and Brad, can’t wait to photograph your wedding next June!
Much love friends!

Live in or around Indianapolis? Do you need a DJ? Hire
At the very end of the last song of the night…. streamers fell from the ceiling. Such a fun surprise!


Jody’s mom helped him get ready.
Nothing like a man who knows how to sew AND tie his shoes! Does it get better that that?!
Welcome to 2012, where iPhone’s double as compacts!
Are you KIDDING me with those shoes?!
Guess who that is on the left….
The view from on top of the Chase tower…
Mawwwwwiage….
Wuv… twue wuv…
Such a sweet ceremony.
We’ve been spending a lot of time on the circle lately!

“I won’t give up”
I couldn’t pick just one of these… so I posted them both. Luckily for me it’s my blog and I make the rules!
I love how much you love each other.
“Toniiiiiiight… we are young… So let’s set the world on fiiiiiire… and we can burn briiiiiiiighter than the sun…!!!!”
That is some intense ring photography!
…a prayer before the ceremony… in the ladies room.
Meanwhile, Troy and his brothers were doing this.
Jody and her father: twins!
I love buttons on the back of a dress… such a nice touch.
I love me a great dad. My favorite.
After the ceremony, Troy (who is a news reporter) was talking about how difficult it was to write his vows… though he didn’t refer to them as vows. He said something along the lines of, “I can write an hour worth of copy in fifteen minutes, but the five minutes that I read up there… that copy took me an hour!” It made me laugh.
BOOM!
As they walked back down the aisle and into the church foyer, they were alone for fifteen seconds before the rest of their wedding party began to join them. This was what happened for those fifteen seconds. I found out later after reading the interview listed at the end of this blog entry that these fifteen seconds were Troy’s most memorable moment of his day. I’m so glad I was there to capture it. Mike’s favorite.
Then it was portrait time!

Loved this wedding party.

A scene like this is exactly what you would expect to see when two news people get married.
…and that’s Troy’s Emmy. And the maid of honor’s toast, I couldn’t quit laughing! HAHAHA! You definitely had to be there.
That dress was perfect for Jodie.
Then it was party time!
I love this image.
Such a fun party!
