Kelsie + Chris || Notre Dame South Bend, IN Wedding

 

Kelsie and Chris’s wedding was one for the books. It was filled with so much love, laughter, happy tears, and celebration.

A few months ago, Kelsie also asked me to also capture her bachelorette party and bridal shower. This was the first time I have covered these wedding events for one of my brides, and it was honestly such a gift to do so. I got to know her friends and family a bit more and to witness how much love they had for her and Chris. So when it came time to capture their wedding day, I already knew it would be such a joyous, emotional and love-filled day. 

Kelsie + Chris - You have such an amazing group of friends and family that love and support you. It was truly an honor to be included in one of the most important days in your relationship. It will surely be one I will never forget.

Katie + Allen || Syracuse, IN Wedding

 

Katie and Allen tied the knot this past April at the Blue Barn Berry Farm in Syracuse, IN... try saying that venue 3x fast! Their day was packed full of sweet moments and gorgeous details - from their intimate first look to her stunningly whimsical bouquet.

Towards the end of the night, Katie danced with her father and then Katie and Allen shared their first dance as husband and wife,  and the sun was just beaming in. Made for the perfect ending to an amazing day.

Urban Elegance Inspiration at Indiana Cathedral Ruins || Chicago, IL Wedding Photographer

 

Wedding Inspiration comes in many forms, and often in the unlikeliest of places. When I met with Abby of Heirloom Event Co. to dream up a new form of inspiration, we knew they wanted a location that was unexpected and captivating. City Methodist Church of Gary, IN was the perfect setting for this unique shoot. These cathedral building ruins, echoing with the love stories of the many couples who had passed through its altar, now stand in crumbling decay covering the beauty just beneath the surface. 

Planning in unusual locations can be a challenge and this inspiration was not short on challenges. Abby did an incredible job of finding the balance between the soft and delicate details of a wedding day with an urban location, all while creating the intimate feeling of a wedding. Couples looking for unique settings for portraits or elopement ceremonies can look beyond the traditional venues and reimagine even the most unlikely of spaces.

This inspirational wedding shoot is was filled with so many incredible and breathtaking details. Be sure to see below for the full list of this creative team that made this shoot possible. 

UPDATE: This shoot was recently published in Green Wedding Shoes & WeddingDay Magazine!

Hannah + TJ || LaPotre, IN Groomsmen Tribute

 

There were too many hilarious photos of these groomsmen to not make a blog post about it. I kid you not, I was crying at times when I was editing these. These guys have been friends for many years and I'm pretty sure their comfort level with each other shows it. Hope you enjoy this added peak at Hannah + TJ's wedding!  


 

Hannah + TJ || LaPorte, IN Wedding

 

Hannah + TJ - maybe it was the way you two looked at each other, or maybe it was your personal vows you read to one another, or the the excitement you had for marriage, maybe it was how crazy/weird/awesome your friends and family are, or the awesome idea to have breakfast for dinner, or maybe the incredible dance party you had that led to TJ and all the guys in the pond, or maybe because you two are friends of mine and I am incredibly thankful and honored to have captured your day - or maybe just a combinations of all these - whatever it was, your day was incredible and is one that I will never forget. Thank you again for having me. PSA - Make sure you make your way to the end for a hilarious added surprise. ;)
