You know that couple that you meet and realize that anytime you’re around them, you’re going to have a good time? Here’s that couple: Yelena and Fred! And we have the pleasure this 2012 to document one of the happiest days in their lives – when they get hitched Only these two could turn a rainy, cold day into a fun, photo adventure in Indianapolis.

Raphael and Mallory | Indianapolis Wedding

Kurtis Bowersock — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:10:30 +0000

Raphael has been a dear friend of mine since I moved to Indy. He’s one of those guys that does anything for anyone, and never has anything negative to say. That’s why I was so happy when he found Mallory. Someone that fit him perfectly. They mesh so well together and make probably the cutest couple we’ve ever known. They just don’t get any sweeter than this. Here are a few photos from their wedding. Just being present made our hearts warm inside.

Jessica and Adam | Indianapolis Wedding

Jennifer Bowersock — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:48:53 +0000

It was a beautiful day with beautiful people, inside and out. Wedding headquarters were shared between the Embassy Suites (for prep) and the Indiana Roof Ballroom (for ceremony and reception). They incorporated a bit of Harry Potter into their celebration as you’ll see below. And you’ll have to check out Adam’s wedding band, which he crafted himself from dental gold (he’s a dentistry student)! Just an awesome couple and definitely a knock-your-socks-off kind of day

Here’s Jess getting ready…ALL day she had a sparkle in her eye and a smile on her face. That’s just Jess!

Moving with grace on her way to see Adam for the first time

Jess carried her grandmother’s purse…so perfect.

A tricky bustle!

Here’s the Potter crew, getting ready to crush their entrance!

I love the salad brigade…or they call it something like that!

Hey, it’s Steven! Former groom, brother to Adam and really funny man we like

Adam donned his Harry Potter glasses for their first dance, a waltz, set to the film’s score.

The bouquet toss!

Jess and Adam are dentistry students, and how fitting to have tooth cookies in the house!! Love this KB ring shot. Seeing the missing top-right corner, he clearly enjoyed taking it!

Congratulations, Jessica and Adam.

Lauren and Zach | Indianapolis Wedding

Jennifer Bowersock — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:20:06 +0000

It’s Lauren and Zach…and it’s LOVE. They warm the room and those around them. They hold their family and friends close. There placed their mark on the wedding and filled it with much laughter, a few good tears, some funny moments, and a really good party. As photographers, who truly felt like guests on this day, you can’t ask for more. Our thanks and hugs to Lauren, Zach and crew!

Here’s where Dad sees his daughter.

Alexandra and Paul | Indianapolis Wedding

Kurtis Bowersock — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:06:59 +0000

Alex and Paul are so awesome that guests came from all over the world to celebrate their wedding. Seriously, Alex’s makeup artist (and cousin) and other family guests flew in from Australia. To add to the level of awesome, Alex’s mother made the bride’s dress, her own dress AND those of the bridal party! That’s really amazing and time-consuming for sure. Take special note of that as you view the photos…you’ll be really impressed. Alex and Paul are two of the nicest people you’ll meet, and they have a beautiful son, Henry, who makes them immensely proud. What a perfect day — see here!

Henry was such a good boy throughout the day.

Check out the dresses!

This ring bearer partied so hard that he lost a tooth! That’s a first!

Jennifer and Tom | West Lafayette, IN Wedding

Jennifer Bowersock — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:42:49 +0000

This couple wowed us from the start. When we first met, Tom described his proposal to Jennifer. Atop Mt. Whitney (the highest summit in the contiguous US), Tom got on one knee and presented the ring. AND he had hauled a tripod and camera set to shoot the stills as it happened. Pretty incredible, huh?! That’s an understatement! Adventurous, warm, and so in love, they are just wonderful people whom you’d want to be among your good friends.

They met at Purdue and decided to tie the knot near their old college digs. There was a lot of beautiful emotion throughout the day. A lot of laughs and good tears. It’s a super marriage, and we were thrilled to capture it.

Check out Tom’s compass cuff links! I don’t know that they worked accurately, but cool nonetheless.

A Filipino tradition

Here is the stoop where they first met and watched the sunrise

The table names represented places they had been together. The backside showed why is was special. In this case “our first rock climbing experience.” Funny, ours too!

Jennifer and Robbie | Indianapolis Wedding

Jennifer Bowersock — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 16:25:14 +0000

We enjoyed another fabulous wedding day, this time with Jennifer and Robbie, two of the most kind individuals on the planet! Can you imagine how nice it is being around them together?!

Not surprisingly, their wedding day was perfect as it was filled with meaningful touches (Jennifer is quite handy), involvement of their favorite local businesses, and a darn good party. What a joy it was to photograph…it was one of those nights where we left talking about how much we love what we do.

Robbie getting amped up (Rock Band-style) for the day…

Jennifer looked lovely…

See the flower girl’s dress? Jennifer MADE it!

Just before going down the aisle, last minute preparations were in high gear…

Jennifer is usually the one singing at weddings. She was on the flip-side all day until the moment she got up to sing Ave Maria. My favorite moment of the day…

Jennifer also sewed the sashes on the bridesmaid’s dresses.

Here’s where the darn good party starts!…

Remember this party animal?! He was the best man at Becky and Jared’s wedding. It was so fun running into him again.

Heather and Deric | Indianapolis Wedding

Jennifer Bowersock — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:45:37 +0000

Heather and Deric are married!! They hosted a beautiful event with the ceremony and reception at Mavris. It’s so convenient to have everything happening in one spot. And it surely makes for simplicity and ease, which is just fitting for this couple! They were all about enjoying the moment of marriage and loving the time with their family and friends.

This was the first time we’ve seen a hammer used during the ceremony! They nailed shut a box that contained notes to each other, a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. How very special and something that will be a treat to open on an anniversary in the future!

I was setting up this shot on the bridge when Kurtis disappeared. Not long after, we hear him yelling, and down the canal he floats on the front of a paddleboat! Now that’s dedication (and a near sinkage of the boat). Thanks to the lovely couple celebrating their anniversary on this day who gave Kurtis a ride!

Heather made him a Mario Bros. cake!!

Beautiful bling!

Congrats Heather and Deric and THANK YOU!
