Ashley & Paul - Demotte, Indiana - Fair Oakes Farms

Ever since Ashley & Pauls engagement session I was DYING to see these two again. Another wedding, that covid almost ruined. Thankfully Ashley & Paul have some amazing family and friends who stepped up to help them have the wedding of their dreams still. It was SUCH a beautiful day. It was the best.
AND when Ashley’s dad gave her away at the end of the aisle there was not a dry eye sitting there… Her dad grabbed her by the arm and didn’t want to let go. I blubbered like a baby. So. Sweet.

Alexis & John - Chesterton, Indiana - Running Vines Winery

I was so excited to meet Alexis & John. We had many conversations over the phone and just clicked instantly. Knowing wedding planning had been a very interesting time for them, I was so grateful they booked with me. I loved getting to know them and their sweet daughter. <3
I have said it time and time again but the best thing to come out of 2020 and covid was small elopements. Its something that I really and truly hope we can hold onto.

McKenzie & Josh - One Year Session

McKenzie & Josh were an LEP couple back in 2019! They are very near and dear to my heart. Like the whole Sims’s clan.
When McKenzie reached out to me wanting to take pictures with Josh and their pup. By this time, they have already added a SECOND pup to their family unit. I need to connivence them to do another session soon… Sorry not sorry Josh..

Lindsey & Josh - Valparaiso Indiana - Aberdeen Ballroom

Lindsey & Josh had to push back their May wedding, but it didnt stop them from getting married!
Their ceremony was still filled with tears, love and all their friends and family! <3
I cried right along with Josh watching Lindsey walk down the aisle.

I am so happy I was able to capture these memories for them! Aberdeen garden ceremonies are my fave! <3

Henning Family

Have you ever taken family photos at a mum farm? If you haven’t you need to! Its a must in life.
I love sessions where people incorporate places that mean the most to them. The Hennings own this mum farm, and it has grown to be a beautiful family business! It was awesome to see first hand what they do!
This makes top ten favorite extended family sessions by far!

Sam & Donnie - DeMotte Indiana - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines

Sam & Donnie had their engagement session just a few short weeks before their wedding and it was easily one of my favorites! It seemed like we got SUPER lucky at their wedding too with the sun!
And my favorite buddy Cole was able to take us to a few places around Sandy Pines I had never been to so it was even more extra special!
Oh these two. They had the best day and I am so happy that fate had other plans for them. I know it wasn't easy planning three weddings. Yes. Three. Weddings. But due to covid they had to make other plans. Third times a charm and now they are living in marital bliss! <3
Cant wait to see these two again soon! Hopefully!

Stephanie & Michael - Michigan - Backyard Wedding

I met Stephanie & Michael about 3 weeks before their big day and I just KNEW their wedding day was going to be something amazing. When we got there I was BLOWN away by everything these two did for their wedding day. They built a greenhouse. They built ALL the tables too. I went a little insane with the detail photos. as per usual.

Gabby & Jon - Meyers Castle - Wedding

This was my first time at Meyers castle and it DID not disappoint. Gabby made sure to have ALL the details. We all know how much I live for wedding details.
Gabby & Jon did things a bit more traditional and opted out of a first look! What they did do is a sweet vow reading, back to back. It was THE sweetest. Yes first looks are so fun and it helps your tog move the day along better.. but these are sweet pictures. <3
I cant wait to come back to Meyers Castle for another wedding soon!

Sam & Patrick were the besttttttt. Sam messaged me about a month or so before their wedding and just hoped that I was available. I was SO happy I was available.

Sam had EVERYTHING planned. Down to the cookies of their sweet animals!
It rained, but we made the best of it. Good luck ya know ;) Cant wait to see them again in November!

I met Ali & Andrew in Chicago last January and we had a blast!!! I was so thankful that they hired me for their July wedding! Vintage Oak Barn is the best venue and I was so excited to get back!

When your sister in law wants an engagement session at a sunflower field… you do just that!

Sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers, and this session was just a bast.

Melissa & Marty - County Line Orchard - Hobart, Indiana

Melissa & Marty had one heck of a time getting to this day… but once they did.. everything was PERFECT!
They were originally an allure on the lake couple. Then covid hit. BUT they made it and they are married and their day was the BEST.
I truly love these guys more than anything. They treated Caitlynn and I like family. We had such a blast with their family and bridal parties!
Melissa has become a really good friend, and I have loved our margarita & taco dates.
