Weddings
Jacob and Erin’s Wedding
Last month I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding for a couple friends from college down in Indianapolis. This was the first time I had shot a wedding in three years. The wedding and reception took place in the Indiana War Memorial in downtown Indianapolis. The memorial is an absolutely beautiful venue for a wedding. It was a very long day, but it was a blast and I had a lot of fun being able to photograph all day long.

Cancer battle ends with a walk down the aisle
Ten years ago, Jackie Nisley was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and spent the years that followed battling through treatments and infections. She had late-night talks with her father about walking her down the aisle someday, something that at the time seemed uncertain given the severity of her cancer. On Saturday her dream came true: ten years later and cancer free, her father walked her down the aisle for her wedding to her longtime boyfriend, Alfredo Alvarado. I had the opportunity to photograph Jackie’s wedding for a story the Tribune fittingly ran on Father’s Day. I haven’t shot a wedding in a couple years and since I wasn’t the official photographer I tried to stay out of the way, but I managed to capture a few decent moments.

Snapshots from a wedding
This weekend was very special for me. I was a groomsman in my best friend’s wedding. Since I was in the wedding, I wasn’t the official photographer, but I did manage to snap a few shots here and there throughout the weekend. As always, I looked for the more in-between moments. During the ceremony, I rigged a remote camera in a balcony and tripped the shutter using a PocketWizard in my pocket. I’m the last groomsman on the right side in the first shot. The second shot is the groom, Ian Shannon, warming up just before the start of the ceremony in the basement of the church. He played “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters as his bride, Erica Murray, walked down the aisle. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception, and I was honored to be a part of it. It was weird to be back in front of the camera although as you can see below I managed to get behind it a few times.
