From yesterday. My wife and I were celebrating our 14th anniversary and I took her to get bubble tea, with the baby.

My wife got the traditional Eggs Benny with a side of fruit at brunch today. We’re celebrating our 14th anniversary today.

Went out for brunch today. My wife and I are celebrating our 14th anniversary. I got biscuits and gravy with a Sunny side up egg. It was a lot of gray. Tasted great though.

I started shooting this wedding and then got a call that my wife had gone into labor a month early. So I had to rush to the hospital. Thankfully some photography friends were able to come and shoot the rest of the wedding for me. The photo below is the last photo I took before leaving the wedding. The rest of the photos in the blog post are all from our friends and our second shooter who was there the whole day. What a crazy day. https://jennifervanelk.com/newfields-lilly-terrace-wedding-sarah-jeffrey/

My wife did this engagement shoot last year when she could barely stage, but she still managed to take amazing photos. She’s such a good photographer. https://jennifervanelk.com/west-clay-engagement-session-mackenzie-austin/ #weddings #photography

This barn wedding culminated with a reception in the garage where they park their tractors. The tractors were cleared out for the wedding, but it was still pretty cool. I don’t spend much time at farms so to do a wedding at a real one was cool. https://jennifervanelk.com/richmond-indiana-wedding-with-miranda-and-wade/ #photography #wedding

My son took this photo of me last year while hiking with the baby in my arms. He was 10 when he shot this. He's getting better at photography.

@stevenvanelk 27 July 2022

My son took this photo of me on a hike last fall holding the baby. He was 10 at the time. This was his first time using my Sony a7iii. He loved it.

Had this monstrous pretzel at maumee brewing company in Toledo yesterday. It was fantastic. The bier cheese dip for it was great too.

Looking down on the forest covering the Great Smoky Mountains.

@stevenvanelk 28 June 2022

Had to take a sunset for these two cause it was too cloudy on the day. Put a flash a little but behind them set at 1/8. Then I had to go into photoshop in post to get rid of the legs of the light stand. https://jennifervanelk.com/indianapolis-hawaiian-jewish-wedding-riane-jacob/ #weddings #photography

Another wedding is up on the blog. This one at a country club in northern Indiana. This is a photo my wife took of the bride swishing her dress around during portraits. I love this photo. https://jennifervanelk.com/sand-creek-wedding-with-shanelle-and-phil/ #weddings #photography

I stayed in one of these cabins near the great smoky mountain national park last week. It was so much fun.

The groom went to break the glass and stomped so hard his yarmulke flew off his head. https://jennifervanelk.com/charming-coxhall-gardens-wedding-shayna-aaron/ #weddings #photography
