Austin and Megan were married at St. Michael's Church in Schererville, Indiana.  It is a building with wonderful architecture so I tried to capture that along with the emotional moments that occur during a ceremony.  This is why I usually have two cameras strapped to me.  One shooting wide and the other with a zoom lens to get up close, but yet not be obtrusive.  Here is a sampling of both.

Megan and her parents were beaming as they made their entrance.  I got a number of different shots of their walk out, but this is my favorite.  As soon as they passed me, I immediately turned around for a wide shot as demonstrated by the "kissing Dad" image below.

From taking their engagement shots earlier in the year, I had gotten to know Austin and Megan and I know there would be plenty of candid moments with whispered laughs such as these...

And from meeting family members during the Getting Ready part of the day, I could see how important they all were to each other.  So I knew we'd have tender moments such as this...

The shadows on the wall were quite striking as our rain filled day began to let in some sun.  I thought it would make for a great black and white image as well...

Father blesses the bride and groom...
