  • Welcome to our blog!

    Thanks so much for stopping by! We are a husband and wife team who love photographing weddings together, sharing our lives, recent experiences and of course our shoots with all of you. I (janelle) also love documenting new additions and the various stages of growing family. With the advent of this new blog we will also try to share our wedding knowledge with you, our favorite local vendors, perhaps some fun craft projects, entertaining ideas, or a whole smattering of yummy finds both locally and regionally. Hope this becomes a frequent inspirational stop for you. Please feel free to leave comments or shoot us an e-mail to say hello! Thanks for visiting.

Nick & Ali {Fort Wayne, IN Wedding Photography}

It is fairly common for the bride to be bubbling with excitement on the wedding day, which was the case with Ali.  Nick played it pretty cool up until the ceremony – all the way to the point of seeing Ali.  It was like her enthusiasm was contagious – he could hardly contain himself.  They giggled a lot together the rest of the day – it was a beautiful thing to be a part of.  Congrats guys – I know these were a little slow coming but hopefully well worth it.

Ali & Nick: These are remarkable photos of such a beautiful, memorable day. The photographer did a great job of catching the essance of who you are. They caught the beauty and love that is shared between you two, and I know you will treasure these photos forever. May God always shine His blessings upon you and your new family, and keep you healthy, wealthy and wise.

2012 Senior Seth | senior pictures ft. wayne

Seth seems like a super nice guy.  Shane and I were so proud when he actually knew our references to Zoolander, which totally used to be one of our go to reference points for senior guys— you know give us the blue steel.  I mean it is one of the only mainstream male modeling movies that you can quote, okay it’s really the only one I can think of, but after seniors started reminding us that they were only in elementary school when that movie came out we kind of had to bag it.  Thanks Seth for making us feel a little younger then we actually are, and thanks for putting up with our corny jokes.  Hopefully it was all worth it, for what turned out to be some pretty sweet senior pics.  Hope your senior year is amazing and that you enjoy this little sneak peek!

2012 Senior | Ashley | ft. wayne senior portraits


There are several families we truly consider to be part of our little nest. Some are our very first clients, others keep expanding their families so we get to keep getting to photograph them, others have become more then just clients and are now truly our friends, others are our hairdressers, insurance agents, babysitters, oh the list goes on and on. Well this family in my opinion is one of those families. Their oldest daughter was not necessarily one of our first seniors, but definitely one of our best seniors, not only did we have an absolute blast with her, but her session kind of helped us define what we really wanted to do with senior sessions. Then we got to photograph their entire family where I met all their lovely ladies, and their dog (who I still secretly wish was Bella’s boyfriend). What I’m trying to say is their family is the type of family that makes us LOVE what we do! I had a blast once again with these girls, my favorite is definitely the dreamy shot with the horse. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek. We’ll see you later today!

engaged | Kyle + Alyca | ft. wayne engagement photography

Kyle & Alyca make a super sweet couple.  These two were total troopers on what was a completely dreary day, filled with moments of absolute downpour.  However due to Alyca’s crazy busy schedule we decided to press on despite the rain, and I think it paid off!  Congratulations to a fabulous couple, we are so excited for you as you finish up final plans for the wedding.  We’ll being seeing you again before you know it!
