The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful for the wedding Patrick and Elizabeth yesterday. Although the wind was strong and chilly in the morning, the afternoon turned out beautifully.
Patrick met Elizabeth while attending Purdue University. They both eventually moved to one of my favorite cities, Dallas! The ceremony was held at Blackhawk Ministries Church followed by another fabulous event put on at the Summit Club 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.
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, Karen Fisher. Both of these talented photographers will be joining me next weekend for wonderful outdoor wedding just a little north of Fort Wayne.

Patrick + Elizabeth: Wedding
Friday, June 6, 2008
Lauren and Mike - Engagement
They both played sports half a world away. Mike played baseball in Italy (including pitching in the 2004 Olympics for team Italy) Lauren played basketball in Germany. It wasn't until a flight back home that their lives finally collided. They both had a layover in Milan Italy, that is where they first saw each other. After arriving in Chicago they exchanged email addresses at baggage claim and began a journey that would change their lives forever. As time went by; phone calls, emails, and visits passed, the unfamiliarity between them changed to friendship and eventually into endless love. One year from the day they met, Mike surprised Lauren by taking her on a horse drawn carriage ride to look at Christmas light downtown Fort Wayne. He got down on one knee and proposed that night.
In August, Lauren and Mike will celebrate their marriage at the Summit Club overlooking the beautiful city of Fort Wayne. It will be a stunning event that we are excited to be a part of.
