The sun was just beginning to set when I met with Kayla & Collin and close friends and family for their gorgeous Brown County micro wedding. Collin and Kayla chose the perfect spot to exchange vows, at the top of a vista overlook, with the rolling gold hills of Brown County State Park in the background. We started off with a beautiful first look, and some time spent together soaking up all the joy. Then loved ones grouped together with happy tears and smiles as Kayla and Collin exchanged vows with the golden rays of sunshine illuminating the trees.

There was a cool chill in the air, and the silhouettes of the mountains looked like smears of black ink across the horizon as we drove to meet Amanda and Adam for their sunrise elopement at Sugarloaf Mountain and Presque Isle Park. We met at their cute Airbnb in Marquette, and they had a relaxed time of getting ready together and sharing waffles before we headed out into the dark to drive to Sugarloaf Mountain.

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.

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.
