Kylie and Derrick | Chicago | Wrigley Field Engagement

Jessika Feltz Photography — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:57:02 +0000

Everyone who knows us knows that we don't really care for Chicago. Jimmy and I both grew up in the Indianapolis area, and we are Hoosiers (well, Boilermakers) through and through.

But, I have to say, this engagement session wouldn't have been possible in Indianapolis. So, I'm going to cut Chicago a little slack today.

^ Can you say gigantic cubs fans?! They came up from their home in FLORIDA just for this session.

^ LOVE

^ They were in heaven!

^ The famous ivy!

^ Any Bob and Tom fans out there? ("If I was a scientist, you know what I would clone? Hot dogs.")

^ Off to the beach to cool off. I figured this was only appropriate for two people who lived in Florida!

^ Warning, this photo may be too hot for your monitor.

^ This ring is hot.

^ Love this one. Kylie, your booty is too cute.

^ You. Are. Hot.

You guys are going to make a beautiful bride and groom in October!!

Leigh and Joel | Wedding | Vintage Wedding Details

Jessika Feltz Photography — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:37:15 +0000

As soon as I met with Leigh and she and I discussed our love for Anne Ruthmann, I knew that she and I were going to get along! So, it came as no surprise to me that I loved everything about this wedding!

Ceremony: Castleton Church of the Nazarene

Reception: Indianapolis Art Center

Bridal Fashion: J. Crew

Catering: Mills Catering

^ Please forgive me for all of the full size detail shots... I couldn't bear to grid them because they all deserve to be viewed full size!

^ Their First Look!

^ I love this shot... she looks like a princess posing for a painting!

^ FAV!

^ Inspired by Anne Ruthmann

^ How cute is this cake?!

^ The first of a zillion ring shots we did...

^ FAV!

^ They built their own photo booth with props and disposable cameras!

^ I totally agree.

^ I love this one... the green background, the interesting framing...

Thanks so much for letting us be a part of your super creative, vintage wedding day!! We wish you both all the luck in the world!

Crystal and Robby | Flush Mount Wedding Album

Jessika Feltz Photography — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:38:47 +0000

Our last product post for today is Crystal and Robby's flush mount album!

^ This is our favorite, limited edition leather! This album is 24 pages.

Mary and Tanner | Flush Mount Wedding Album

Jessika Feltz Photography — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:31:24 +0000

This album is a great example of all of the cool things we can do! Mary added on a few "extras" to make her album special!

I can't take credit for the design... Mary, who has a background in graphic design, wanted to design her album, and I was more than happy to let her!

^ This is a gloss printed cover, which looks awesome with Cardinal Red leather!

^ She also added gold page gilding, which is the awesome looking coating on the edges of the page. We can also do silver or black. PS, doesn't this album look huge? The max number of pages is 60... this album had 58. Hahaha!

^ Another flawless construction by Miller's Lab!

Mary and Tanner | Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Jessika Feltz Photography — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:26:52 +0000

We just got some products in, so we wanted to share!

^ This is a 16x24 Gallery Wrapped Canvas. Clients, these can be ordered directly from your client proofing gallery!

^ This happens a lot at our house... Moonpie is usually interested in what we're doing.

Mindy, Eric, Noah, Lucas | Family

Jessika Feltz Photography — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:17:07 +0000

Throughout the years, my mom's side of the family has collected some surrogate family members. After a while, it just made sense for us to celebrate our holidays as one gigantic extended family. So, although Mindy and Eric are not technically my cousins, I consider Eric's mom a "bonus" aunt and Mindy and Eric as "bonus" cousins! (Eric's mom is my uncle Chuck's sister.) It's fun to see my "bonus" family members, and I was glad when Mindy contacted us about doing family photos!

^ FAV! So cute!

^ Love the light in this one.

^ Washington Township Park is under construction in a lot of places, especially on the trails. And one of the BEST trails is one that was "closed." Usually I obey the signs, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the best shots! hahaha (We definitely weren't the only people back there!)

See you at the next family party at Cookie's!!!

Lindsay, TC, Liam, and Olivia | Family

Jessika Feltz Photography — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:24:42 +0000

This family might look familiar to you... TC is Mary Dietz's brother! So, blog stalkers should remember this whole family from Mary and Tanner's Wedding and the Crazy Photo Booth from the same wedding.

^ This shoot may look a little Olivia biased... well, Mr. Liam didn't think that sitting or standing in one spot was a good idea. Hahaha!

^ FAV!

^ T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Hayley and Ryan | Guestbook

Jessika Feltz Photography — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:21:06 +0000

Check out this cool guestbook that we created for our wedding this weekend!

^ This is the custom photo cover, if you're curious. We offer this upgrade at no additional charge when a guestbook is purchased a la carte or included as part of your wedding photography package!

Brides, you know you want one of these!!!

Aarti and Joel | Wedding

Jessika Feltz Photography — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:56:31 +0000

Our friends at Brooke and Pedro asked me to second shoot this wedding with Pedro while Brooke was shooting another wedding! So I brought along my associate, Marc, and we headed up to Fort Wayne with Pedro to be with Aarti and Joel! You can check out our combined photos on Brooke and Pedro's Blog!

This was the first Indian wedding I had ever experienced, and it was so cool to learn about another culture!

Ceremony: Scottish Rite Center

Reception: Scottish Rite Center

Entertainment: All Star DJs

^ Beautiful. Just beautiful.

^ I love the shots Marc did of Joel!

^ If this looks familiar, you must be a blog stalker. I was thinking about something creative to do with Aarti, and my girl Lerin came to mind. Check out the Dirty Dior shoot I did with Lerin, featuring a similar photo. ;)

^ Yes, blog stalkers... we're on a parking garage roof again. Hahaha

^ FAV

^ I love this one Marc took.

^ I love this. The family members came up and blessed the couple.

^ A Christian ceremony followed the Indian ceremony.

^ I love this shot that Marc got during cocktail hour.

^ Aarti's grandma flew over from India, along with many other relatives!

^ I loved Aarti's dad! He is an engineer, so of course I liked him!

Congrats, Aarti and Joel!
