They come from such a wonderful community of friends and family that I am proud to call my own. The wedding was put together in a two-month time frame and was held at my own church, <a href="http://www.fmcfw.org/"><strong>Fellowship Missionary Church</strong></a>, on the southeast side of Fort Wayne. With the impact Josh and Breanna have had on the church’s community it seemed only fitting to see people who have been touched by Josh and Breanna’s story to come along side them to help make their wedding day a success. <br /><br />The reception was held at the beautiful <a href="http://www.artsunited.org/"><strong>Arts United Center</strong></a> in downtown Fort Wayne. This building is home to the Fort Wayne Philharmonic among many other talented performing artists that Fort Wayne has to offer. With a blend of brick, concrete and oak set as the backdrop to the reception the evening was just as beautiful as the building it was held in. I don’t ever recall seeing a wedding with so many of the guests becoming so involved in the reception to make sure the evening went smoothly. The entire reception was done by youth at Fellowship Missionary Church. They did the set up and teardown and even served the food all with a servant’s heart. They are such amazing people!<br /><br />Josh and Breanna, the story of your love for each other inspires me. God has brought the two of you together in a wonderful way and I am amazed to see how He brought a community of friends and family together to make your wedding day as magical as it was intended to be. Thank you for such a wonderful time. Congratulations on your marriage! <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/joshbreannablog001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

I have learned so much from this couple and their story has truly touched my life. As I was processing some of the images I ran across this image that reminds me why I love wedding photography so much. <br /><br />Planning a wedding takes so long, except for this one but more on that later. When the wedding day finally arrives it quickly becomes a blur from all the big important stuff having to fall into place to all of the people coming to witness the amazing union. The moment captured below is a great example of how we can still connect with the ones that mean so much to us in the midst of all the noise around us. It is as if they are dancing like no one is watching. <br /><br />What are you doing this Christmas to connect on a deeper level with the people that mean so much to you?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/joshbreannablog023.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/joshbreannablog023.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-36504886614189968612009-11-26T22:10:00.009-05:002009-11-26T22:21:00.568-05:00ThankfulnessBecause today is the day of giving thanks I wanted to say a big thanks to all of my clients who so generously give me the chance live out my passions and dreams. Without the encouragement you have given me I would not be the person I am today. <br /><br />Today is also our little Ainsley’s first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving around our house the past five years has been loaded with family packed into our home. With nearly 15 people I quickly run out of room to stack them so most choose the floor to sleep on. With all of the noise, crowdedness, and lots of dishes I found myself enjoying those few days a year when everyone comes over to my house for food and fun. <br /><br />This year nobody came over. It was a slow and quiet day with just the three of us. We did spend a few hours over at my brother-in-laws house but most of the day was spent with my new three-person family. It was a welcome change of pace and a day full of thanksgiving for me as I am surrounded by the two people that mean the world to me. <br /><br />Here are a few shots of my little Thanksgiving. <br /><br />The day started off by mom doing a little bit of “Pre-Black Friday” shopping. She got up at 4:30 to snag this cool noisemaker of a table for Ainsley at half price. By the time Ainsley woke up we had it set up for her to begin the play of a new toy. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving11.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving17.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving17.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Because this was Ainsley’s first Thanksgiving Sarah and I have been doing a lot of talking about traditions. Today we started our first Thanksgiving tradition of drawing turkeys by tracing our hands on construction paper. It was obviously difficult for a 6 ½ month old to hold her hand still but we made it through it. Once we finished coloring each of us wrote a few things we are thankful for this year. The goal is to do this every year and write down five things we are thankful for. We will move this to small index cards in the future. It will be fun to read through all of them and see how our kids change their priorities over the years. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving27.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving27.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving21.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving21.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving25.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/thanksgiving25.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!!!Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-49296218520478542642009-11-24T21:35:00.006-05:002009-11-25T22:23:41.396-05:00Mark and Kathy's FamilyMy latest family photo session was one of my most unique family sessions. In what is considered a very rare occasion, Baby Ainsley made a special guest appearance at my photo session. She came along with Sarah and I to capture my brother-in-law and sister-in-laws family and did a fantastic job at entertaining them. She held up great even with the cooler weather in which she hardly complained. <br /><br />Mark and Kathy are our closest geographically located family. Most of my family is either in St. Louis or the great state of Texas. Having them near by has given us a chance to watch their three children grow up. It was a joy hanging out downtown with them and I look forward to our big Thanksgiving dinner over at their house this year!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/markkathyblog1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We have been meeting up with them during Caroline’s first year of life to capture her continuous changes. Our sessions are always full of sharing stories and comparing notes as new parents. Being new parents ourselves we completely understand how fast changes occur. <br /><br />This session we enjoyed the beautiful fall and took Caroline outside. As you can see sweet hats complement little girls like icing on an already perfect cake. I am so excited for Caroline’s parents and continue to be amazed at how fast our children grow. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_003.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_004.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 569px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_005.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_006.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_007.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_008.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 581px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_009.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0011.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0012.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0013.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_0013.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-38543106223822827612009-10-05T13:55:00.005-04:002009-10-05T14:08:22.858-04:00Caroline=6 Months!!!Just last week I took my family to our very first family picture session. We followed Betsy King around as she guided and directed us through our photo shoot. I was amazed at all of the excitement and anxiousness I felt after the session was over. I can't wait to see my families pictures!!!<br /><br />A few days later Sarah and I headed back to Quinn and Jody's home to shoot Caroline's 6 month photo session. I now know what it is like to keep the photographer's blog up on my computer while hitting the refresh key on the hour so I wanted to give a quick sneak peek at Caroline's photo shoot so we can give that refresh key a break.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_001.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/jodyquinnblog_002.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-50906438619969453012009-10-01T20:43:00.011-04:002009-10-01T21:18:20.566-04:00Gabe + Michelle = WeddingWith the wedding of Gabe and Michelle, my wedding season has ended but not without inspiring me. I always intend to inspire others but I often find myself as the inspired one. Working with my clients gives me insight to their lives and their stories.<br /><br />Everyone has a story and Gabe and Michelle are no different. Gabe and Michelle joined hearts in the beautiful Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. On the staircase of the historic showroom floor family and friends witnessed the joining of their families. <br /><br />I had a great year watching the weddings of beautiful couples such as Gabe and Michelle and I am thankful for the inspiration they bring me. I still have one more wedding story to blog about so check back to see Eric and Leah's beautiful Ohio wedding. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263666_VsLpS-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263666_VsLpS-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263645_2jyQH-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263645_2jyQH-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263625_apKov-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263625_apKov-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263605_Q7cXv-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263605_Q7cXv-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263564_WdQkw-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263564_WdQkw-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263542_rkHEp-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263542_rkHEp-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263508_h63wU-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263508_h63wU-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263484_rs99S-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263484_rs99S-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263446_AnVZU-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263446_AnVZU-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263431_Uab3r-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263431_Uab3r-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263399_GjGTn-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263399_GjGTn-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263372_zrwhh-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263372_zrwhh-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263342_gxBXi-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263342_gxBXi-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263311_7wYsj-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263311_7wYsj-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263289_zV3ze-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263289_zV3ze-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263262_5XH5i-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263262_5XH5i-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263234_DQ8EA-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263234_DQ8EA-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263208_TLkRq-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263208_TLkRq-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/Other/Blog-Files/9821172_cEEep/1/#667263181_fdwMR-A-LB"><img src="http://photos.matthallphotography.com/photos/667263181_fdwMR-L.jpg"></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-26582018241564607672009-08-18T21:55:00.016-04:002009-08-23T21:47:37.089-04:00Tim + Erica = WeddingI have been excited to shoot Tim and Erica’s wedding for almost a year now. When Erica first called me she told me how she was a guest at the beautiful Curtis and Amanda's wedding early last year. She said she just had to have us shoot her wedding! <br /><br />After a light morning rain, the humidity came out to create a sticky afternoon for a beautiful wedding in Syracuse Indiana. The ceremony was romantic as the several hundred candles lit the sanctuary. After quick send off, we took Tim and Erica to an amazing field of yellow daisies right off of Highway 13! We couldn’t have asked for a better time and location to take our now freshly married couple. <br /><br />Once we arrived to the reception, we quickly found out that a transformer blew outside the building causing the power to go out. Do you recall I mentioned the day was hot and sticky?! Tim and Erica inspired me. They went into a dark reception with the outlook that nothing can change the fact that they are married and they will always have each other. The evening continued as the electric company worked outside to restore power which never really stayed on that night. At the end of the evening Tim and Erica where still married and loving every minute of it.<br /><br />Thanks so much Tim and Erica! You guys have reminded me how love can pierce through any darkness. Congratulations!!! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/timericablog-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px;

So when the Felger family contacted us to see if we would take their family pictures we gladly accepted. This family session included multiple generations headed up by two warm-hearted parents. It is awesome to place a family with multiple generations together in a shot and step back to be amazed what two people can start. <br /><br />Capturing weddings is an amazing thing and it is only the beginning for that couple. We get to be there to see it, but when we get the chance to capture a multi generational family we get be there to see what has happened since their wedding day.

Eric and Leah, like Sarah and myself, are high school sweethearts, which in my opinion is awesome! I am thrilled to be the lucky photographer for their special day this August in Van Wert Ohio!<br /><br />We did their engagement session just outside of Van Wert at Leah’s parent’s farm. The farm was a photographer’s dream complete with a decaying schoolhouse and train tracks. Just as I think it can’t get any better we are lead down to an apple orchard where we finished up the session. <br /><br />Here are just a few shots of our session with Eric and Leah. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 569px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-10.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 579px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 569px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 581px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 565px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 577px; height: 868px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 569px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/ericleahengagement-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-62568692541730055682009-05-20T20:56:00.009-04:002009-05-20T21:33:15.547-04:00Guy + Linda = Wedding!Speechless! <br />Saturday we had the honor of capturing Guy and Linda’s wedding at their beautiful home in Cromwell Indiana. Guy and Linda created a unique wedding setting that involved all of their children blending both families into one. <br /><br />After the ceremony at the wooded haven behind the magnificent log home was the reception located inside of the 20,000 square foot pole barn. I really enjoyed working will all of the other wedding vendors at Guy and Linda’s wedding. All of the girl’s hair and make up was done by the talented Mary Kay consultant <a href="http://www.marykay.com:80/ahigginbotham/default.aspx"><strong>Angi Higginbotham</strong></a> and Linda Maggert at <a href="http://www.oneofakindevents.org/index.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/Home.aspx"><strong>One Of A Kind Events</strong></a> did an amazing job at coordinating the wedding as well as transforming the pole barn into a beautiful wedding reception. The guest enjoyed live music from Rob Lisak of <a href="http://www.greenthirteenmusic.com/default.htm"><strong>Green Thirteen Music</strong></a> while they enjoyed a meal from The Eagle’s Nest out of Columbia City. Oh, and who could forget the beautiful cake created by Carolyn Pruden of <a href="http://www.elegantcakes.net/"><strong>Elegant Cakes</strong></a>. Carolyn literally built the cake on-site! To finish the evening there was a beautiful fireworks display. It was an amazing event to attend, but an honor to photograph. Thanks again to my talented photography team <a href="http://www.karenfisherphotography.com/"><strong>Karen Fisher</strong></a> and <strong>Amanda</strong> for helping out at this wedding. You guys rock! <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/blogguylinda12.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Although the wind was strong and chilly in the morning, the afternoon turned out beautifully. <br /><br />Patrick met Elizabeth while attending Purdue University. They both eventually moved to one of my favorite cities, Dallas! The ceremony was held at <a href="http://www.blackhawkministries.org"><strong>Blackhawk Ministries Church</strong></a> followed by another fabulous event put on at the <a href="http://fortwaynesummitclub.com/wordpress"><strong>Summit Club</strong></a> downtown Fort Wayne. The view from the 25th floor has always been breathtaking, but now we have Parkview Field to thank for adding another piece to the downtown view.<br /><br />Because Sarah is officially on maternity leave from wedding photography, I brought in a couple of great photographers to fill her shoes. We had a good friend Amanda who through out the day surprised me with her photography talent. At the reception, we were joined by one of Fort Wayne’s best family portrait photographers, <a href="http://www.karenfisherphotography.com"><strong>Karen Fisher.</strong></a> Both of these talented photographers will be joining me next weekend for wonderful outdoor wedding just a little north of Fort Wayne. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/patandliz12.jpg"><img style="display:block;

A couple of weeks ago we drove up to Pokagon State Park to meet up with Linda and Guy to shoot their engagement/family session. The session included the children who will be part of the wedding party at their parent's May wedding. With all of the seriousness of the wedding planning it was fun to get out and play around as we get to know Linda and Guy. We eagerly await their wedding and are thrilled to be a part of it. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement11.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement14.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement10.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement12.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement12.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement13.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-34709742387261836192009-04-07T22:53:00.004-04:002009-04-07T23:09:39.325-04:00Jody + Quinn: NewbornI am so excited that Jody and Quinn have asked us to document Caroline’s first year. Not only do we get to watch this little girl grow and experience the world around her, but we get to watch our relationship with Jody and Quinn grow along with our children. Jody and Quinn have touched our lives and we look forward to our little girl growing up to know them as friends as well. <br /><br />Congratulations Jody and Quinn! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline11.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline12.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 576px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline12.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 576px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline10.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 576px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/newcaroline2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-54432047745861057742009-04-05T20:38:00.004-04:002009-04-14T23:02:05.918-04:00Sneak Peek: Guy and Linda EngagementThis afternoon we drove up to Fremont Indiana to do an engagement shoot that included a splash of family to it. During the short hour drive from Fort Wayne, Sarah grabbed her stomach and said “oh, that was a weird feeling”. Ha! Let me tell you, I thought that today was going to have a second “splash” of family! No fear it was a honest false alarm that lasted one whole second. <br /><br />Guy and Linda are bringing their two families together this May and I can see that this is a perfect blend. Before we show you the whole session, we once again want to tease you with a shot from the day. Keep checking back to meet the whole family including their gentle giant of a dog, Nala. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 900px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/lindaguyengagement1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-27205263747303187192009-04-04T21:23:00.005-04:002009-04-04T21:39:19.377-04:00First GlimpseIntroducing Caroline!

It is as if we, the world, had a chance to peek into their life and see how joyful they are about their growing family.

We first met Jody and Quinn while volunteering at the Father Daughter Banquet nearly a year ago. Jody is in the final stages of her pregnancy just as Sarah is. We shared many of the same stories and laughed our way through the photo session. This will be the first of many photo shoots with Jody and Quinn. We will have the honor of documenting their baby’s first year of life only to create a beautiful leather bound album this time next year. <br /><br />Jody and Quinn, we can’t wait to watch your little “peanut” grow in during the next <br />year. Thanks for inviting us to watch!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 850px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/hmaternity6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-83509317848087870852009-02-22T18:38:00.022-05:002009-02-22T21:06:04.133-05:00Belly PhotographyToday was a day of photography play. Sarah has been long overdue for maternity pictures and since her photographer lives so close we decided that today would be a great day to snap a few shots. Below is just a few that stood out to me as a celebration of the new development to our small family. Less than two months left before the big change, but first comes the baby shower next weekend. More on that later, have a great week!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/sarah5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/sarah5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/sarah2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/sarah2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/sarah3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 850px; height: 650px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/sarah3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-86839687246383356882009-02-09T19:20:00.020-05:002009-02-09T19:59:43.654-05:00Gadget AwesomenessEvery once in a while a product comes along that revolutionizes the way we currently do things. The new-to-me wireless SD Card is one of those products. I say new-to-me because somewhere deep in my overloaded brain I recall reading about this product. <a href="http://www.eye.fi/"><strong>Eye-Fi</strong></a> has developed a product that works with Wi-Fi Networks to send photos from digital cameras to home networks and on-line websites. As soon as the camera that contains the wireless SD Card comes into the home network it will automatically upload the images on the card to your computer. To make it even cooler you can set it up to automatically upload the images to on-line websites such as Facebook and SmugMug to name a couple. The Eye-Fi is currently only for SD Cards, but when they start making the Compact Flash cards with this technology I can see a new advancement in the professional photography industry. Until then I will have to settle for the $800 <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Wireless/25365/WT-4a-Wireless-Transmitter.html"><strong>Nikon WT-4af Wireless Transmitter.</strong></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/eyefi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 411px;"src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/eyefi.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><br />Oh, and back to my overloaded brain. Eye-Fi has teamed up with <a href="http://www.evernote.com/"><strong>Evernote</strong></a> giving me the ability to take a picture of text such as business cards, restaurant receipts, or anything else I want to remember. Evernote has developed recognition software that will read the text off of an image and categorize it so I can retrieve it later. Incredible! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/evernote.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 312px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/evernote.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Matt Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523758296980936344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164780523712800530.post-60475177745553666592009-02-03T12:44:00.008-05:002009-02-03T21:08:25.053-05:00Modern BabyI am surprised, astonished, even shocked that my Internet savvy friends find it odd that Sarah and I would create a website solely dedicated to our unborn daughter. Either way the power of <a href="http://www.showitfast.com/"><strong>Show IT Sites</strong></a> has given us the ability to create, add and recreate any number of websites with ease. Our daughter’s website example now includes images of her baby room, a mom’s journal, and a registry page informing our friends and family where we are registered. I really enjoy taking advantage of all the technology available to us and when our 3-D ultra sound video is complete later this month I put it on her website. This is only the beginning. With the merge of two industries, still photography and videography, our websites will soon include short video clips giving our future brides a look at what is like to have us shoot their wedding. <br /><br />The personalizing websites don’t stop with our daughter. Imagine what it would be like to have a fully customized website for your wedding. You can inform your friends and family of all the exciting events of your day, link guests to your registries, and show off those beautiful images by Matt Hall Photography! It is just one more way we are helping make your wedding day be an unforgettable day.<br /><br /><strong>***NOTE TO ADD***</strong><br />If anyone is wanting to follow our Baby's Website please send us an email and will will get you the link to the website.

Well I feel it is time to break the silence by sharing our baby girl's first of many pictures. Today being my birthday I did what makes me most happy. I met up with our May bride to go over some details as well as catch up on life. Weddings bring so much joy to my life and I look forward to raising a daughter that I will get to walk down an aisle as some lucky photographer captures our smiles. <br /><br />Our May wedding will be an adventure as Sarah will not be attending. One week after the birth I think her doctor would scream if she knew Sarah was shooting a wedding. So in comes our backup as we shoot at the beautiful Summit Club downtown Fort Wayne. <br />I hope your week is starting as fun filled as mine! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/baby1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 550px;" src="http://www.matthallphotography.com/blogfiles/baby1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This is the baby's room just a few days ago.
