PFW Graduation Photos // Fort Wayne Photographer

It was a surprisingly warm evening, when I met Maddie for her PFW graduation photos. Spring was in full bloom, and we adventured around campus taking photos, laughing, and popping champagne. We ended the evening on the PFW parking garage rooftop, dancing in the orange sunset. I don’t know about you, but Maddie’s feeling 22 […]

The sweetest first look at this Indiana summer wedding

nd a lovely forecast of showers. But a little wind couldn’t damper their spirits. We braved the wind and they had the sweetest intimate first look, and then read heartfelt letters to each other *cue the photographer tears.*

How to Decide if an Elopement is Right for You

Rainy Indiana Lakehouse Wedding // Indiana Wedding Photographer

A light fog had settled over the waters of Lake Wawasee and it was drizzling ever so slightly, but that wouldn’t deter the excitement of Sara and Luke. They had no idea that fateful day they met working at a tap room together that five plus years later they would be getting married during a pandemic. COVID may have changed their plans, but they couldn’t not be married to one another any longer, so they kept their ceremony on their original date, and boy was it beautiful.

Let’s be honest, being in front of a camera for an hour is daunting. I myself feel horrendously awkward when I get my photo taken! Your engagement session doesn’t have to be this painful experience, it can actually be a total blast!

Vesey Park Engagement // Jake & Jess // Fort Wayne Wedding Photographer

I have known Jake and Jess through one of my dearest friends most of my life, and when Jess reached out about shooting their May wedding I was thrilled! These two love birds met me at Vesey Park while visiting family in Fort Wayne, and we had such a fun time with their dog Nala and the last of the fall weather.

When Carly reached out to me and told me they were having their wedding at Pine Hills, I was hit with such excitement. Pine Hills being my own home church, it was such an honor to me to be chosen to capture this beautiful day for them. Carly and Colton met in youth group, and from there God wove their love story together into something so unique and beautiful. The morning of the wedding both of them were nothing but smiles, radiating so much joy.

Metea Park Engagement Session // Hannah & Zach // Fort Wayne Photographer

It was the perfect end to fall for an engagement session, when I met Hannah and Zach at Metea Park. The leaves were hanging on to the last of their deep color, and golden hour blessed us with beautiful rays of light. I originally met Hannah through her older sister Judy, who’s wedding I am also shooting next year. Over coffee Hannah told me all about Zach and their relationship with such a wide, genuine smile on her face. I knew these two would be such a wonderful time to capture. And indeed, Hannah and Zach were so full of love and laughter, despite all the weird prompts I made them do.

When Kelli and Kyle first met me for coffee and a consultation and told me their wedding was Harry Potter themed, I was hooked. As a die-hard Potterhead myself I couldn’t have been more delighted to hear all the fun little details they plan on incorporating into their day. We met up for their engagement session a few weeks later at Hyde Brothers Bookstore and Promenade Park, with wands and books in hand, and let me tell you guys, they totally crushed it. Between the little details, and the gorgeous fall foliage overlooking the river, and their shining personalities full of love and laughter, we couldn’t have asked for a better session.

Sleeping Bear Dunes Elopement // Michigan Elopement Photographer

Mid October in Northern Michigan might be cold, but it was well worth the trip. We began our adventure at the Sleeping Bear Dunes trailhead point, and started the slow journey up the dunes. The sun came out from her hiding and warmed our goosebump-ridden skin and made all the sand glow gold. Once we finally reached the top of the dune overlooking Lake Michigan, we had to stand for a moment to take in all the beauty and awe that came with the view. It was nothing if not breathtaking.
