Newfields Elopement // Indianapolis Elopement Photographer

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.

Bride and groom walk down tree lined driveway hand in hand

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 end of summer sunlight warmed our goosebumps as we met Mae and Jess at the beach for their Lake Michigan elopement. We headed out in the early morning to grab a paddleboard and spent the morning paddleboarding around Lake Michigan, splashing and laughing as sand found it’s way into our bags.

Upper Peninsula Elopement // Presque Isle

A layer of thick fog hovered over the copper treeline as we made our way to Black Rocks, for an epic Upper Peninsula elopement in Michigan. We carefully picked our way over the volcanic rocks, while the wind hissed in our ears. It was cold, but not enough to hurt.
