fort wayne indiana wedding photography ~ t.j. & liz

from city glamour to country chic... they do it all... after our time in downtown fort wayne indiana... tj and liz drove me out to one of their favorite little places - PICKLES...  maybe one of the best mom and pop places i have EVER been - seriouslly, the salad was AWESOME and then you step out and realize there are countless locations for photos... it was amazing...

you cannot tell but liz is sitting on an old coke machine...

doorway of two sisters garden shed, they where so nice and stayed open for us!

if you think you have seen a picture similar to this you are correct... liz liked the look of amanda and brandan's shots like this, so we recreated!

a bean field never looked so good

off to their next adventure

finally my favorite of the day...

tj and liz - we are two weeks and a couple days away from your big day!  woo hoo!

i can still remember how sweet t.j. was the day i first talked to him... "my bride to be asked me to call you..."  i was on the road to new orleans, but made a date with these two the day after i got back, because upon that first phone call i knew on thing was for sure - i wanted to be the one to capture these moments for them... so i made t.j. promise... "i will be home in a week - don't book anyone else until we meet!" a week and a day later... it was offical...here are some the of more formal ones we took... country style will be up in a day or two...

they laugh a lot...

i am positive these two will dance together like this for a lifetime...

i work with her dad and got to hear the exciting news of an engagment... my first question to him, "well whos going to be her photographer?" (with a wink and a smile)... however once a date was set... i was already booked... BUT... lucky for me - i was able to capture their engagment bliss one rainy day in indiana...

he makes her smile with his grizzly nuzzles

she makes him smile ... because she is his....
