Sanibel + Sun + Film

After 10 days of vacation (much needed) we’re back! But we couldn’t help doing at least one photo shoot wile we were there. So, While we were on Sanibel Island, we met up with our friend Cody and his girlfriend, Kristin.  We met up with Cody last year for an engagement shoot on Sanibel as well, and it was so great to be able to catch up with him, and meet Kristin. Cody is a photographer in the Tampa area, and he just recently got a Contax 645 (AH-MAZING). He allowed Cory to take a few photos with it, and that was more than enough for him to add it to his birthday list.

Sunrise photo shoots are awesome (when you can actually wake up that early) So we decided that we would wake up early, drive around the island, and take a few photos of Cody and his beautiful girlfriend, Kristin. As an added bonus, Cody took some photos of us with his Contax. (which we are dying to see!)  -J

How cute are they? I mean, seriously, it’s crazy how great they look together!

I love the colors and hues the ocean water gives. More photos shoots in Florida…yes, please!

Contax 645= Cory needs to guard his heart!  Kristin= Cody needs to guard his heart!

Kristin has a gorgeous smile!!!

Gorgeous couple, pretty sunlight and beautiful images! Great work you two :)

Beaches, Sperrys, Family, Oh My.

It has officially begun. Our annual family vacation to Sanibel Island. The next 8 days will be filled with sand castles, suntan lotion, and ice cream cones.

We usually enjoy visiting new and exciting places, but there is something about coming here every year with our family. It’s quiet, quaint, and familiar. It’s probably the most relaxing week of the year!
We’ll try to keep up with blogging while we’re away, but we can’t make any promises. The best way to keep up is with our Instagram feed.  So, if you have instagram be sure to follow us @coryandjackie, and if you don’t, you can keep up with our feed at: http://statigr.am/coryandjackie

I feel like we should have hung a “gone fishing” sign on our studio

I hope you guys have an amazing vacation! Love you both!

Timeless Love: Mikael + Laura

He met her just after returning from two months in Europe. They were both with friends at a tennis match; afterwards everyone went out for drinks, and it was then that  Mikael took notice of Laura…  It’s always about the perfect timing.

Last year, on Laura’s birthday, she was sure that Mikael was going to propose.  But at the end of the night, Mikael still hadn’t asked her to be his wife.  She had hoped that day would have ended with a ring on her hand. But once again, it was all  meant to be at the perfect time. Ten days later, Mikael and Laura were at the lake house where he completely surprised her and asked her to be his wife.

Here they are, a few months away from the day they will promise each other, and it will be at the most perfect timing.

Enjoy these photos from their engagement session at the Lake House where Mikael proposed to Laura. -J

Laura + Mikael, you two are perfect together!

I love these buoys!!! I love her ring even more!!! -J

I love ‘almost’ kisses!!

Mikael you look very handsome, and Laura you are the perfect compliment to him!

That dress is amazing! I love Laura + Mikael’s taste in clothing!

Perfect! A glass of wine would complete this!

How awesome is this vintage paddle boat!!!??

Laura, you are beautiful!

I love how Mikael pulls in Laura close!!!So cute!

Laura you have a great smile!! Mikael, I am positive that you will always have Laura smiling!;)

Mikael + Laura we had a great time hanging out with you two and getting to know you both better!!! We cannot wait for your wedding!!!

I love anything by Kate Voegele! Manhattan in the Sky is probably my favorite of hers!

Love Birds: Chad + Gillian

So here is a little background. I received a phone call last week from Chad asking if we could photograph his proposal to his girlfriend, Gillian. I (Jackie) was beyond excited!!! We rarely get to photograph the actual proposal. So he discussed his plans and Cory and I met at an undisclosed Starbucks to finalize the details.  He told us their story of how they became a couple almost a year ago and gushed about how much he was in love with Gillian. Seriously, single ladies this guy is so sweet and genuine, you might want to be a little sad that is officially taken. However, I know there are some other great guys out there! (so not to worry)

So, last night Cory and I arrived a little early to the Broad Ripple Arts Center and anxiously awaited Chad + Gillian’s arrival after their dinner at Mama Carolla’s. (a great Italian restaurant from what I hear) We staked the locations where we would be inconspicuous.  So we went over where Chad planned to get down on one knee and had our plan on how to discretely photograph everything without Gillian noticing. Well, Chad and Gillian took a different path than anticipated. That through us for a loop!!! I thought for sure that Gillian would notice me off to the distance being a nervous nelly! However, everything worked out perfectly!!!! It was sweet, romantic, and perfectly intimate. Confession: I may or may of not got misty eyed. I will let the rest of the photos tell how it all unfolded!

This is where I thought Chad + Gillian would go straight and I would follow behind. They turned left and I was starting to feel my heart beat a little faster!!!

Cory had the perfect view!! He was far enough away (70-200mm) to get this great intimate moment!

Going for the ring!!!

Chad on bended knee asking Gillian to be his forever!!!

Awww, yay!!! The newly engaged couple!!!

After Gillian said yes, we took a few pictures of them basking in their newly engaged glow!!

Ummm, yea, look at that RING!! Gorg! Chad did a great job on picking out the ring!!

P.S. It is from a local jeweler here in Indianapolis, G.Thrapp Jewelers. (hint, hint gentlemen);)

These two are so cute together!! Gillian, you are truly just as beautiful as Chad said you were!!

Afterwards, Chad had a table waiting for them at Plumps in Broad Ripple where they had their first date exactly one year ago!

Congratulations Chad + Gillian!!! We couldn’t be more happy for you two!! Thank you for allowing us to be apart of such a monumental time in your lives!
