Their full wedding gallery is here http://lifespring.smugmug.com/Weddings/Casey-and-Jason

Here are a few previews from their wedding!

Alexander and Lindsey’s Wedding Show

I had so many favorites from Alex and Lindsey’s wedding, that I decided to do a slideshow for them — so without further ado, on with the show!

Alexander and Lindsey’s Wedding - 8-9-08

Alex and Lindsey’s wedding day was amazing. From the moment we arrived at Lindsey’s grandparents house, to the fireworks at their reception, the day was filled with beauty and grace.

Lindsey’s bridal portraits went so well, it’s only fitting that I devote an entire entry to them (Don’t worry, I’m not going to leave out the rest of Alex and Lindsey’s wedding day!)

Betsy & Kyle’s Wedding 6-28-08

Kyle and Betsy are such a sweet couple. Kyle is a firefighter, and Betsy is a kindergarten teacher (her students must just LOVE her!)

Their wedding was held in Michigan City Indiana, at St. Paul Lutheran church. Once again, rain was predicted for the entire day and this time I believed the weather man. Friday night had been cloudy and rainy, but Saturday dawned lovely and sunny almost as a special favor to Betsy and Kyle.

Guests came from far and wide to fill the church as the bride and groom prepared for their nuptual ceremony… Betsy dressed in a beautiful white wedding dress covered in pearls with a luxurious long train. Kyle, dressed in his tux and relaxed with his best friends at the Mexican restaurant down the block from the church while the final preparations were made at the church…

Enough background information — on with the previews!

All in all, a beautiful wedding day for two very special people!

After a honeymoon that takes the couple to a super-secret hide-away, they’ll return to Michigan City. I can’t wait to find out where they’ve been — the honeymoon was such a secret, Betsy couldn’t even reveal the destination to me on the morning of the wedding!

Katie and David's Album Preview

Katie and Dave June 7, 2008

Katie and David are such a sweet couple. Katie called me to save their wedding date almost before they were engaged, and we met for the first time last summer for their engagement session. The two of them are friends of a number of other LifeSpring couples, so it was extra special to see their wedding day arrive.

We arrived at Countryside Christian Church in Michigan City IN just before noon, and caught up with Katie and David while they were preparing for their wedding ceremony. The skies were sunny and breezy, just perfect weather for a wedding!

Katie and David involved so many of their friends and family in their wedding — David’s brother Luke led worship songs, Doug Weber (that’s David’s father) gave the message, and Mark Bules (Katie’s Dad) performed the second half of the ceremony.

I cried all through Katie and David’s vows. They first recited traditional vows, and then spoke words that they had written especially for eachother, underlining their commitment not only to their marriage, but also to the ministry that their lives together will be to others.

We left just as the sun was dipping behind the lake at the reception site — the perfect ending to an unforgettable wedding day!

Here are a few samples of Katie and David’s wedding images:

Misha and Jonathan May 17, 2008

Hmmm… Where to begin?

Well, first of all, Misha and Jonathan are friends of Abby and Ben who were LifeSpring couples from last year. Their love shines as brightly as the sun that lit the church on May 17, their wedding day.

When David and I pulled into the parking lot of Trinity United Methodist church in Lafayette, the forecast called for cloudy skies and rain all day. The weather man thought it would be a dreary day, but the weather man didn’t know that there Misha and her closest friends were praying for sun!

By the time Misha had put on her wedding dress and met with her wedding party for a time of prayer, the sky had changed from drizzly gray to brilliant clear blue and streams of sunlight were pouring through the windows of the church.

Here are a few previews of what turned out to be the most beautiful wedding day possible for Misha and Jonathan:

Amanda and Jonathan — May 10 2008

The sun was shining, the birds chirping happily, and on Saturday May 10, 2008, Amanda and Jon promised to love and cherish eachother forever at the Brethren church in Peru IN.

We did all their photography before the ceremony, taking time to go to the park nearby and a little side-trip to grandparents’ pond en-route to the reception!

Here is a little preview:
