Sheridan

September 25, 2010

Like we said in her sneak peek, we don’t often shoot seniors, but when our bride-turned-good-friend, Summer, asked if we’d be interested in photographing her sister’s senior pictures, we decided to go for it. And it was a really good decision: Sheridan was a joy to photograph–she was a natural in front of the camera, brought a great prop (her “Baby Taylor” guitar), and had a few ideas of her own!

Our favorites. Enjoy!

Sheridan had such a natural smile.

Love this one!

A quick outfit and location change…

Sheridan brought a cut-out picture to the session that she really liked (I think it was an ad), and we gave it our shot at recreating it–I’m proud of the results!

Sheridan, you were a joy to photograph–thanks for your trust in us! We hope you have an awesome senior year!

Brandi: She is stunningly gorgeous and you're right, a natural smile. Perhaps you should do more seniors! :) These are great!

Irish: Haha, shouldn't you be chrnagig for that kind of knowledge?!

What we have to say about Amy and Joe’s wedding will make us sound like a broken record, but it’s true: we’ve been truly blessed by the couples we’ve worked with this year, and the two of them are no exception. Their wedding was filled with the things we love about wedding days: an easy-going bride and groom that weren’t distracted from the reason behind their wedding day, two helpful, supportive families, and a wonderful celebration. Filled with, in short, what makes weddings so enjoyable and joyful, whether in Indiana or halfway around the world, whether a month ago or 5oo years ago.

Our favorites:

Amy, you looked beautiful!

The two of them were served communion by a groomsmen.

A hug from grandma (love this one!):

The bridal part had a bit of time to hop on golf carts and explore the beautiful grounds of the South Bend Country Club.

Amy’s sister gave a great toast (and she had a tough act to follow: a hilarious “video toast” by the groomsmen!):

And, back outside for a few after dinner. Love these.

The flowergirl (and Amy’s new niece!):

Amy and Joe, thank you so much for inviting us into your lives and families on such an important (and beautiful!) day. We wish all the best to you in your new lives together!

Brandi: That hug from Grandma shot makes me want to cry.. in a good way.. but still.. It will be so cherished!

We’re excited to show the rest of the pictures from Sheridan’s senior session, but here’s three for now. We rarely photograph seniors, but it was such a pleasure to spend the evening photographing Sheridan that it made us want to shoot more!

April Cochran-Smith: Oh my gosh, you should definitely shoot more seniors! These are AMAZING! Can't wait to see the rest...

We’re workin’ away on finishing up Amy and Joe’s wedding from a few weeks ago, but here’s a few to enjoy over the long weekend. The two of them had a beautiful wedding on a beautiful weekend, and we can’t wait to share the rest (and the rest are coming soon)!
