My dress should arrive in just a few short weeks! So I’ve been thinking about shoes, necklaces, earrings…
I’ve fallen in love with items by local Indianapolis artist Erin Keys. My bridesmaid Hilary discovered her at Details, a local gift and jewelry store. Erin’s hand-made jewelry is romantic and easy to wear. It’s tempting to just buy a few of these; they’re really affordable. But I must wait for my dress to arrive to make sure the necklace is perfect….

I have the good fortune of having many talented people working with me on my wedding, and Kris Arnold is one of them. Kris is a photographer; but more than that he’s a legendary lensman with an artistic eye for capturing beauty in the not-so-beautiful — it’s handy to have someone like that behind the camera on a gal’s wedding day.
A quick browse through his website (or any google results) and you’ll see his enviable range as a photographer: Music, portrait, art – he can do it all, and well.
I met Kris through my fiance; then Kris and I worked together at NUVO, where I really got to see his passion for photography. He’s a busy man. He’s intimate with city of New Orleans; making several trips there during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina to photograph the lives of the people trying to rebuild after the tragedy. He has a book coming out: True Brews: A Guide to Craft Beer in Indiana. He’s in a band. He’s a web developer at the IMA. He just had a new baby! And the list goes on…I’m envious of his energy, and obviously his talent. I just count my lucky stars that I can at least call him a friend.
