Alanna and Derek have the most beautiful property. I’m so jealous. Huge trees and an old barn on a small country road overlooking a bridge to a winery. We never had to leave their house to search out new scenery for the pictures. I got a lesson in soy bean harvesting and learned some Putnam county history from Derek. I’m sure their wedding day will be a blast. It is a Schroeder wedding after all. I guessing there will be some groomsmen bedecked in John Deere green. Best wishes to you both!

Yeah… that spider wasn’t added for effect. I didn’t even know it was there until I looked at the images on my computer. If I had seen it while I was positioning the ring, it would’ve been smashed with my shoe.
