Weddings + Elopements
The sun was barely peeking over the horizon and the forest was peaceful and quiet when I met up with Krista and Nick for their Brown County Indiana wedding. They decided a sunrise first look would be an intimate and nice way to start their day, and Nick’s reaction to seeing Krista was absolutely everything. After the first look the sun started rising over the trees, giving us the most beautiful golden hour sunrise light, so we took couples photos with the rolling hills of Brown County State Park in the background.

The ceremony and reception took place at the lovely Narrows Cabins just outside of Turkey Run State Park, and it was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and private, perfect for their intimate outdoor Turkey Run wedding.

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 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.
