Audrey & Ryan 09/22/2007 Trinity Episcopal & Deer Park Manor in Bloomington, IN
It was a long drive to this wedding and well worth it. I never had the pleasure of meeting either the bride or groom prior to the day but Jessica had after all, she did go to high school with Ryan and some of the other groomsmen. Of course we had to be right in the thick of it on the main drag in Bloomington on Kirkwood Ave, right in front of the IU campus. Jessica started with the ladies early in the morning and Townsend (another photographer and friend) and I went to meet Ryan and Adrian at the hotel. It was wonderfully lit room allowing us to get dramatic images and Ryan and AD did their parts just right and ignored us and just let us do our thing. I do want to let everyone know... Ryan wore mismatched socks :) Let him tell the story.
We only had to go 2 blocks to the church and there we quickly ran through group shots of just the groomsmen and Ryan with his family so we could all run over to Nick's, the local college pub. Sink the Bismark quickly became everyone's favorite sport.
The church was rather dark but we were allowed some great freedom in positioning to rest lenses without blurring. Then to Deer Park Manor only a few minutes away. The grounds there were beautiful and facilities wonderful. Sue, event mananger, did a wonderful scheduling and timing the fireworks just right.... enough babbling... look at the pictures inside by clicking the link below and leave some comments for the couple to see when they get back from the honeymoon!
Thanks guys!

Aren't they adorable Crest models?
They stayed energetic and fun all day long.
A yummy salad from Tina's Catering and Cusine in Bloomington.
The minister gave us all a laugh when asking for a blessing for their first dance.
Their first dance. It was choreographed and looked amazing and fun. As soon as the others get online take a look. Truly a remarkable couple who spent a lot of time making sure a fun event was planned for all.
