Monica…I hope you don’t kill me for doing this!! This is the lovely and uber talented Monica Richard, who I completely adore and is also the BEST facility coordinator in the CITY! She is the wedding & event coordinator for Wolfgang Puck Catering at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where MOST of my photographs are taken(second to the ever popular canal & circle…as I’m sure you can tell) and my alltime FAVORITE location for weddings, in the city!! She is also a dear friend of mine and an extraordinary person! We can talk for hours when we’re together…it’s dangerous!! This shoot was pretty funny….she needed a quick headshot and I told her that we’d make it work (i’ve been telling her to get a headshot for months now)…so, we scheduled this shoot the morning of and shot the entire thing in less than 5 minutes! Just might be a record for me! We were cracking up…I probably shot 75 images in 5 minutes! I have a slight over shooting problem! We had to though because we were both between meetings and had to make it happen really quickly! Anyway, Monica is truly incredible and if you are lucky enough to have your wedding at the IMA, you will be working with her (and Fran…the many other fantastic people at the IMA!) and you will NOT be dissappointed..that I can assure you!

I was honored to be invited to a swanky vendor party at THE bridal shop in the Indianapolis area, La Bella Bride! It’s in Zionsville…my hometown…which makes it even better! Tracey is the owner of the shop and she is just fantastic! She carries the top designers in her store and has some incredible dresses! She also has flawless taste, so I always know that the dresses that come out of her store will always be amazing!!Stacy & Mary…and I had a blast sifting through countless gorgeous gowns! We definitely had favorites!! It made me want to get married all over again! Our poor friend Bob, with IndyVisual…was the only guy there…and was definitely feeling the estrogen fill the room being surrounded by women & dresses!!

La Bella is also known for the superior customer service…every single bride of mine that has worked with them (and that is alot) has been completely thrilled with the entire experience! They are truly wonderful and treat every client like gold! It was a great time…I soo enjoy all the vendors in this city…we are all such great friends and have an absolute blast together(which is rare!)! I just love it!! Tracey…thank you soo kindly for the invite! It was great! (Sorry…didn’t take any pictures, I came straight from three shoots back to back…so I wasn’t in the mood to photograph, just wanted to have fun!)
