It was a perfect early fall day when I arrived at the Homestead Environmental Center for Claire and Toby’s gorgeous Fort Wayne outdoor wedding. The sun hid just behind a thin layer of clouds, and the leaves were just starting to turn from green to gold as Claire and Toby shared their first look and private vows in a clearing of trees just the two of them. We then wandering around the nature preserve shooting couple portraits, before walking sneakily towards the cabin for a surprise Claire arranged for Toby.
The sun was shining and the flowers were in full end-of-summer bloom when I arrived for Brittany and Kyle’s Botanical Conservatory Wedding at the Fort Wayne Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Gardens. Having shot their elopement here exactly one year prior, it felt like a full circle to be back and documenting the full wedding celebration with family and friends.
It was a warm and sunny morning full of birdsong when Jake and I met Bethany and Ben at their cabin for their rainy elopement at Turkey Run and Shades State Parks. They had a slow and relaxed time getting ready and writing vows together on the deck while absorbing the beauty of the forest around us.
It was a beautifully sunny and pleasantly warm day when I met Stefanie and John for their Newfields elopement in downtown Indy. Starting at their sweet home, we documented all the little getting ready moments and final touches, before then heading over to Midland Antiques to set them up for their first look. Stefanie and John spent many dates perusing the aisles of Midland Antiques, so it made perfect sense to have their first look, and couple portraits amongst the vintage treasures where they found love.
The sun was shining and the air was just on the edge of chilly when we drove up the tree lined drive for Louis & Delayne’s Fall Northfork Farm Wedding, in Oswego, on the outskirts of Chicago. With rolling fields of pastures, horses, and a tree lined drive, Northfork Farm was the perfect location for their outdoor wedding. The trees were just beginning to turn color as we started off the day with a sweet first look between Delayne and her dad.
The sweetest intimate backyard wedding in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a Club Soda reception.
The sun was shining in her full glory as I drove along cornfield lined roads, for Britney & Dylan’s intimate Indiana outdoor wedding at Gravelly Run Church. We started the day slow, with details and getting ready, and it was absolutely adorable to witness and document Britney jumping on the bed with her closest friends, singing Taylor Swift at the top of their lungs.
Lindsey + Dennis had the most beautiful elopement day at Brown County, with a picnic, A-frame cabin, and campfire to end the night!
The sun was shining and the air was a warm surprise as Sirenna + Victor made their way down to Sugar Creek for their fall Turkey Run Elopement.
A love story nine years in the making, Skylar and Gabe met back in sixth grade, and were best friends ever since. A beautiful road led to this long awaited day at Chapel Road Retreat, and dry eyes were nowhere in sight.
