The Seeton Company

Sherry and Eric are refurbishing their website, and wanted a new look at their products.  I had done commercial work before, but never products--inanimate objects.  After some conversation about their liking the detail shots I do during a wedding, I knew I was the right person for the job.  It's been interesting, and an immense learning experience on many levels.  I'm proud to say that they are thrilled with my work, and our relationship will be ongoing!

Tyler and Kristi's Wedding Day!

This was so much fun for me!  Their wedding party was all gorgeous, smart and funny.  They were game for anything, and I took full advantage of that!  The church was one of the only Catholic churches in Ft Wayne I hadn't worked yet, and that was exciting.  Kristi loves the Wells Street Bridge, so the limo went there after the obligatory altar portraits, so I was able to capture the essence of this group of friends away from the family and formality at the church.  The party was a culmination of two very large, very boisterous and loving families, and friends from as far back as kindergarten.  One of the prettiest cakes this year, great florals from Armstrongs, Cerutis' excellent service....it was alllll goooood.

Kristi's Bridal Portraits

I love my job!  We shot the engagement and the bridal the same weekend, which had to take as much out of her as it did me--BUT LOOK.  She's a natural beauty, and a trooper.  She's also funny, smart,and a new friend for life.

Her wedding was last night.  It was gorgeous, the party was fun.  Her parents were proud (as they should be) of the gorgeous, glamorous party they were able to throw for her.

Working with them has been a complete joy!

CONGRATS. Kristi!

(Thanks Peebles and Armstrong families for taking me into your families the way you have!)

Kristi and Tyler's Engagement!

This couple does everything on the fly.  They hired me to shoot their wedding last month (they're getting married November 15 !) and then last week she called and said they wanted BOTH engagement AND bridal sessions this weekend.  WHEW!  No pressure....right?

Can't share the bridal shoot for a few days, but here's some of their engagement!

Megan and Brad's Wedding

Another artist's wedding this year, and another masterpiece of details, and elegance! She designed the invitations, the menus, and the place cards. The extended family had the most incredible desert table of all their favorite cookies, fudges, brownies, and all the confections you could ever dream of. They gave bulbs in beautiful gift boxes as favors because they run a landscaping firm and it best represented their favorite thing to share. The wedding was very small and intimate, and the party hours later was very large and boisterous. My favorite florist was utilized Rose's Bouquets, and did the fabulous job she always does.

Spyro's Christening

One of the most precious gifts bestowed on me as a photographer this year was this one. Spyro's mom chose me to document his Christening day. It was at the Greek Orthodox church that I had worked in a couple of years ago to shoot Malak's wedding. It's a beautiful venue, and the service there is so touching and lovely. To be able to even behold this would have been a joy, but to be entrusted to document it for this family was exciting, challenging and invigarating! Definitely one of my favorite projects this year!

Baby London!

London's mom and I barter work. She is one of the best dog groomers in Fort Wayne, and we admire each other's work very much. (She's also a pretty cool woman, and has become a friend of mine!) I went and met London and saw little Ross again, who I had photographed last fall. She makes pretty kids. This time her handsome man was there with us, so we got some family stuff too!

NeuroNE

I was contacted in August about doing promo work for this new practice opening in Fort Wayne. I had worked with their marketing director before, and was excited to do more work with her! This is a great looking, and NICE group of people. I hope I get to know them better! We had fun!

Melissa and Joe's Wedding Day

This day was nothing but fun, start to finish. The wedding was staged at the place where the groom's mom works, and where she had been married years before. The reception was at a friend's house, with a pond, and a tent, and a friend for a DJ. Lots of kids, lots of laughter, lots of dancing and lots of mosquitoes!

Ryan and Stephanie's Wedding Day

Stephanie's mom found me on Craigslist, and told her about me. When Ryan, Steph and I met we clicked immediately, and saw the same vision, we left that meeting completely psyched to be working together. Their wedding was such a collaboration of creative spirits, it was a unique experience for me to work with true artists--and so the day was enriching to the eyes, the heart and the mind. I enjoyed it immensely. It was as much a gift to me to be working with them! I'm really excited to see it all done!
