Lindsay & Greg - Friendship Gardens I Michgian City

Friendship Gardens

This wedding pulled at my heart strings a bit. Upon arriving, Lindsay informed me her grandma was sick and she wasn't sure if she'd make it to the ceremony. Having lost my grandma just a few years ago, I knew what it meant for Lindsay to have her grandma there. Yet the mood was still upbeat and we made the most of it while getting ready. 20 minutes before the ceremony we got word grandma would make it to the ceremony. We did have to wait on the ceremony for an extra 30 minutes but it was the worth the wait. So many emotions surrounded people throughout the day. I have to say it will be one of my most favorite wedding's of 2016. Even down to Lindsay dancing with her grandpa at the reception. It was pure bliss. Thank you Lindsay and Greg for having me as your wedding photographer.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Here in the polar vortex known as Northwest Indiana, it is too cold for outdoor sessions. What does one do when its too cold to be outside? We stay inside, and have a boudoir session! Winter specials are taking place here at Loryn Eaton Photography. SO here is your chance to get a head start on those Valentine's day gifts or even just something for yourself after a long year! Don't wait for these sessions. I hear it everyday, "I will do one after I lose 10 pounds" No! Don't wait. You are perfect just the way you are :) These sessions are great for that!

Nic, Nicole, & Harper

Another one of my favorites! I am so excited for Harper to have a baby sister! Im sure she would have not accepted the idea of a brother. She is all into her soon to be sister. The last time I saw these three we were in downtown Valpo around Father's Day! I am so happy they stuck with me. I worked for every smile Miss Harper gave me. She is such a sweet heart. I cant wait to see her pose with her new sister!!

Emily - Senior

When meeting Emily, I knew she was the shy type. Totally my type. I love those kids. I speak that language. I was the shy, awkward kid in high school. So I love getting these seniors. I give them the best experience I can, so hopefully by the end of their session, they have opened up and had a good time. That is my goal. Emily plays some instruments. I always encourage my seniors to bring something that is special to them. Emily rocked her session. Shes an intelligent, and beautiful girl. I wish many great things for her! I know shes going to kill the whole "adult life" thing! 

Baby Blasie Arrival

I love this family. Love is an understatement. This would be my fourth session with this amazing family. We finally go these pictures in, and I could not be happier with them. I know Mila and Emerson love their new baby brother. And while baby brother was taking a nap, we played on mommy and daddy's bed!! I swear, Mila is going to be America's Next Top Model. For Real. Just look at this little girl! I can't wait to see this beautiful family again soon!

Nicole & Jeremiah

Brown County State Park

Brown County weddings. Give me mover. Just do it. Go get married in Brown County around October. And then hire me. Nicole and Jeremiah's wedding was super special and totally unique. It fit their personality so well. Down to the decorations, everything (besides me) was a local business. I can't even describe how beautiful their day was. Bright beautiful clouds, changing trees, and a close knit family who made Hannah and I feel welcome. Another dream wedding out of my dream wedding book. I wish there was more I could say. I will let these images speak for themselves. <3

Tami & Joe

Oh Tami & Joe. I met these two beautiful people last year at their wedding, which I photographed! :) They are super special, and I love that they have stuck with me. Which is *why* I love being a wedding photographer. I form those special bonds with my bride and grooms. Its amazing.

I was so excited when Tami contacted me to tell me they were expecting! They drove all the way from Chicago for a maternity session. Upon arriving Tami tells me Joe forgot his shoes!! (Insert laughing, crying faces) He had on those slip on shoes!! Oh goodness. I laughed so hard. It was a very chill October day, for sure one of the colder days we had in October. It was very gloomy, but still so beautiful!
I cant wait to meet their little girl here soon!!

Anna & Tony

Lincoln Park Conservatory

Anna & Tony's engagement session was one of a kind! We had to reschedule once due to rain, and these locations weren't what we had planned to begin with, but I gotta say, it worked out much better than what we originally planned!! The Lincoln Park Conservatory is a beautiful location. Shooting in downtown Chicago is one of my favorite places, you find hidden gems everywhere. I had to share these :)
I cant wait for their September wedding!

Stephanie & John

This wedding was a page out of my dream wedding book. Stephanie & John could not have looked more amazing. I love the small intimate weddings that are focused on family and togetherness. That was all John and Stephanie were focused on. Themselves. Their family. Nothing more. I don't think I have ever had a bride that was as laid back as Stephanie. It was a very go with the flow day. I was so blessed to be their wedding photographer! I hope to see them again all real soon! Check out these details!

Jessica & Justin

Heritage Farm Events

I have been waiting to blog these images. Everything about this wedding was perfect. I met Jessica & Justin at Courtney & Tyler's wedding in July and instantly knew these guys were going to give me a wedding I couldn't forget. Let me tell you. They didn't disappoint. From the start of the day, I felt at home. This group took me and Liz in as their own and made us feel like we were a part of their family. Just days before the wedding, a deadly tornado ripped through this small community. Thankfully the venue was unharmed along with their homes. The sun was shinning and surrounding everything love was present.
I really wish I could explain the feeling I get when looking at these images. Best wedding gallery to date <3 Thank you guys for trusting me with your special day. And giving me the opportunity to be featured with The Wedding Day Magazine!
 

Megan & Niko

Aberdeen Manor Ballroom, Chapel, Garden

Megan & Niko had hired me back earlier this year for an engagement session on the one weekend Niko was home. I remember Megan telling me they weren't planning on a big wedding, just something small. When she then contacted me around April for wedding pictures, I was ecstatic. When she told me her venue was Aberdeen, I literally jumped for joy. I knew her day was going to be just perfect. They planned a Thursday wedding so when Niko was home, they could get the wedding stuff done, and enjoy the rest of Niko's leave together. I love how they incorporated their dog Bear in the photos as well. I cant even count how many times I cried when speeches were being made. With Niko being in the service, the stories people had of Megan dealing with boot camp and him being overseas just got me. <3
All in all, I'd say they had a truly amazing day surrounded by their family and friends.

Sam & Nicole

Sand Creek Country Club

Sam & Nicole. Two people I have known for some time. Growing up in a small town, you tend to go to school with some people from Kindergarten to high school. These two have been inseparable since middle school. Always together it seemed. They were the sweetest people in high school, and still two of the sweetest couples I have photographed to date. I am so elated they chose me to capture their special day. These two had both Liz & I, completely in tears when they decided to exchanged their notes and gifts before the ceremony. I couldn't contain myself. The love that they share is something special. Something I don't see every day. I hope they continue with that happiness for as long as they are together. That kind of love is hard to find. Thank you both so much <3

Roger's Family

Oh, the Roger's family....

I cant even tell you how much I loved meeting this family. Their three little's are about the cutest sisters I have ever met. So many cuddles were taking place that night. I love the "smiley" photos, but I love those images where parents are interacting with their kids. Especially when they are *this* little.
I have a bad habit of, if you put something in my purse, like a hairbrush, I will forget its in there. That night I ran off with the babies hairbrush... oops.

I do love my wedding photography, but my families are my heart.
