Plymouth, Indiana Wedding – Nathan and Suzie’s Color Sneak Peeks
Ginny and I just finished editing photos for a Plymouth wedding. It was a hot day, but we had a fun group to work with, including groom Nathan and bride Suzie. We had the opportunity to take some shots at the Plymouth park before we headed to a reception in Knox. This was a Catholic wedding with a pirate-themed reception! It was also Ginny’s first wedding as the primary photographer because I had to be on assignment during the second half of the reception. We shot the ceremony together, the formal photos, and part of the reception. I left to shoot Final Ball at Culver Academies and Ginny did the rest of the shoot on her own. We put in a long day and didn’t want to move from the couch once we returned home. We had a great time with Nathan, Suzie, and their friends and families, though. Here are some of the color shots.

Engagement Photo Session: David and Samantha
Ginny was a teenager when one half of this couple was just a toddler and Ginny was his regular babysitter. She tells stories of his athletic talent, particularly in golf and how he was smart enough to bet her Dairy Queen treats on the golf course. She remembers how he’d birdie hole after hole to win blizzards. I think this must have been when Ginny learned how to spoil her niece, as she has always told me how she could never say no to David Haase or his sister. She was thrilled to hear of his engagement and upcoming wedding to the beautiful, down to earth, and kind Samantha (Sam). We had the pleasure of photographing them on campus for some engagement shots. When we leaving, Ginny said, “I’m so happy he found such a wonderful girl. I just love her.” David and his sister were part of our wedding, so we are thrilled to be part of his. We look forward to the big day.
Culver Academy Senior- Willie
Ginny and I had a great time photographing Willie, a senior heading off to college in Indianapolis where he’ll play football. Willie has worked for us this past year, so we’ve gotten to know what a great guy he is. It has been a pleasure getting to know someone we’ve been photographing in sports and now as he’s going off to college. We’ll be sure to keep tabs on this young man as he makes his way on the next step of his journey. We know he has a bright future ahead of him. Best of luck, Willie!
Culver Academy Senior Night Photos
This Spring, as I’ve done previous years, I photographed the Culver Academies seniors before their annual Senior Dinner Dance. For me, this is a very informal, casual, and fun event that I like covering as I’ve gotten to know many of the students over the years photographing their senior sessions, portrait sessions, and various sports. It is also one of the last times that I get to see the kids in a fun setting before they walk through the Gate or Arch when they aren’t running 16 different directions. As always the kids looked sharp and were dressed to impress. I’ve shared a few photos here. Other photos are posted at- http://www.culverphotos.com/2012_dance
Culver Academy Senior- Courtney
The wind off of Lake Max was cold and fierce the day we photographed Courtney for her senior session. She was a trooper, though, changing outfits in between and hitting all the locations. Courtney has a beautiful smile to match her personality. We hope her future brings her much of the same success she had at Culver.
Culver Academy Senior- Will
This year, we had the honor to photograph a fellow classmate’s son. Lisa, parent to Will, the handsome young man in these photos, graduated a year ahead of Ginny and two years ahead of me. We’ve seen her around Culver since Will joined the ranks of cadets. We have also photographed Will numerous sports events, including football, which he’ll be continue on to play in college. We know why Will’s parents must be so proud, as he is truly a gentleman and as is kind as he is polite and cooperative behind the camera. We wish him all the best and hope we see him visiting his younger sister in Culver.
Culver Academy Senior- Rachel
This senior session was filled with great ideas, lots of color, and Rachel’s great personality. Ginny and had a great time walking campus with Rachel, and her session was before the endless days of no rain, so the grass is green and campus looked great. So did our subject. We wish Rachel the best at college and with her future. We know she’ll have a smile on her face and a great attitude no matter what her future brings.
