Lindsay and Craig's Foster Park Wedding

Lindsay and Craig have a sweet, endearing love for each other that is simply contagious.  Her respect for him and his love for her are beautifully obvious (as you can also witness in their engagement session).

I cannot help but laugh every time I look at this TOO CUTE for words ringbearer as a chipmunk steps in front of his path during his march down the aisle.  Who's ever heard of a delay due to a chipmunk???  Hilarious!  What a moment!

I just love the look on this grandmother's face as she ponders love, marriage and the wonders of modern cameras.  : )

The amorous couple were married at the quaint Bridal Glen inside Foster Park in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Just look at their AMAZING flowers done by Emily at Lilly's Flowers!

After the wedding (and yes, once again the rain kindly did NOT disturb our outdoor adventures), the party headed over to Salomon Farm Park Barn for the reception where Goeglein's catered and Dr. Feelgood's provided the musical atmosphere.

I honestly can not look at this next photo from this wedding without crying.  I am totally and completely emotionally attached to this moment that I captured.  I lost my own mother to breast cancer in 2006 so when I saw Craig's sister's tatoo and the sacredness of this moment as she watched her mom dance with Craig, I seized the opportunity to create a new memory for the Barcus family in honor of Craig's father.

Thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding Lindsay and Craig!!!  (you too, Mona!)

Jennifer and Garrett Tie The Knot!

Jennifer and Garrett's wedding was SO absolutely energetic, carefree and BEAUTIFUL!

This amazingly loving and adorable couple tied the knot in the gorgeous, open-air courtyard of Ceruti's Summit Park in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  It was HOT but it was a PERFECT setting...complete with blue skies and fluffy white clouds!  Ooo la la!!!

The reception was held in the fantastic Summit Room and was adorned with bright yellow and orange to match their gorgeous flowers done by Rose's Bouquets.

Erik Michaels of Megasound provided GREAT music that kept everyone rockin' on the dance floor until the hall lights came on at the end of the night.

Matt + Stephanie

When I heard my long-time friend Matt had proposed to Stephanie, I was totally thrilled!  Their journey to marriage and love has been a beautiful one of growth and their companionship is strong and self-evident...gentle and meek.

The lovebirds tied the knot in Krauss Chapel at Trinity English Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Here are just a couple of my favorite Sneak Peeks.  To view the entire gallery at www.ShadowlandsPhotography.biz, contact Matt and Steph for the password.

Their reception was at the super cool Come2Go building on Baker Street.

Lindsay and Craig's Lafayette Engagement Shoot

Two weekends ago, I shot the 1st of my photo sessions in April (because my daughter was born just 4 weeks ago!).  I drove down to Lafayette, Indiana (cheers to all you Purdue University lovers) for an engagement shoot on Purdue's campus and in surrounding areas we scoped out.  I already have lots of favorites, but for my Sneak Peek, here are a few.
