One of her favorite things to do is sit on the desk while I edit and watch the mouse move and make changes. She is a total sweetheart and so curious about everything in the world. I ended up taking her home and adopting her! That kitten has grown into being my cat, Amelia. That day I found a kitten wandering around, clearly alone. That church gave me more than photographs too. I found the setting to be an incredible spot, with a stage, debris, crazy stairs, and blown out windows, it was a sight to behold. Its become an increasingly popular spot over the last few years for photographers and urban explorers alike. Its an abandoned church, originally built in the 20s. While her actual wedding was held at the Zhou B Art Center, the church we held the shoot in is called the City Methodist church in Gary, Indiana. Brittany’s creative drive doesn’t stop there though, she is an independent illustrator and designer under her company Black Dove Design Company. It’s the band’s logo, and every member if Iscintilla has it. It’s played a big role in their lives, and the proof can be found through the tattoo on Brittany’s shoulder. She made it into the band, and they are still both in it today. Brittany found out about it and went to audition where they met for the first time. They both went to college at U of I, when Jim’s band Iscintilla was looking for a singer, that was the first place he started his search. The way Brittany and Jim met will always be a fun story. As an artist herself, she chose one that really stood out, and not only was it a gorgeous addition to her gorgeous wedding by the dress’ black accents made it perfect for her trash the dress shoot in the somewhat gritty setting we chose that embodies the term “urban decay”. She found it at Laurel Bridal, a premier Chicago wedding boutique. Honestly, when are you going to wear that thing again? You’ll keep it forever of course, but its fun to go out into the world and fearlessly model it for an interesting set of photographs. Not only is it more fashion-photo based and focused solely on the couple, but you don’t have to worry about ruining your dress the whole time. Its always nice to add on to your wedding photos, and you have that opportunity to do that with a trash the dress shoot. My wedding gift to her and her husband Jim was this incredible “trash the dress” session. One of my oldest friends, Brittany Bindrim got married! As I was part of the wedding, our friend Kirsten Miccoli shot the event. This was my first time photographing in the famous abandoned church in Gary Indiana.
