Ashley and Greg are HUGE soccer fans. So starting their engagement session at their favorite spot, Chatham Tap, was an obvious choice. Once they showed me their regular seats and I forced them to grab a beer at 8:30am, we headed to Cool Creek Park for some beautiful Indiana fall scenery. I think Ashley and Greg picked the most gorgeous day for their engagement session. The park was perfect and these two shared some sweet moments to make their engagement session just lovely. Thanks to Ashley and Greg for a fun morning. I’m so excited for your 2016 wedding! Enjoy this sneak peek.

Diana is a long, long time family friend. She’s an absolute beauty with an electric personality. While living in New York, she met David, fell in love, and followed him back to his home of Dublin. To celebrate their love, they planned a stunning wedding at Mustard Seed Gardens and brought over (seemingly) a large chunk of Ireland to celebrate with them.

I adored Diana’s vision for her wedding. It was simply beautiful with green florals, baby’s breath bouquets, pops of blues and personal touches of American and Irish flags. The day was flawless.

After my duties as photographer concluded, I met my family, Diana and David on the dance floor and danced the night away. This wedding was one of my favorites I’ve ever attended. Diana and David’s guests were wonderful and so fun to meet on the dance floor. So many people traveled from far distances to celebrate this incredible pair and I’m so thankful I was there to capture it all and celebrate right along with them. Congratulations to Diana and David. I’m thrilled for you both.

Wow. This wedding was so special and so pretty! Laura Beth and Zach planned a beautiful celebration at the Omni Severin. It was decorated perfectly thanks to the gorgeous flowers by Sweet Pea Florals. But absolutely nothing was as lovely and stunning as Laura Beth herself. My goodness she was a beautiful bride. The stylings she chose were perfect. Her large bow was a wow factor as she walked down the aisle and her crystal head piece was fabulous during the reception. From top to bottom, Laura Beth was absolutely flawless.

I loved celebrating the day with Laura Beth and Zach. They’re an incredible couple and it’s always a joy to be around them. We took their photos surrounding the Omni and then at Bankers Life Fieldhouse which was a perfect spot for Laura Beth, the former Pacemate, and Zach, the Pacers fan.

A huge thanks to Laura Beth and Zach for making this day so special and so much fun. I enjoyed every moment of celebrating with you.

Haley and Kevin planned a beautiful and BRIGHT wedding that was simply stunning. I loved Haley’s choices with vibrant colors and bold stripes for her reception decor. And glittery bridesmaid dresses helped her bridal party shine. They whole day was absolutely lovely thanks to Haley’s vision and Canal 337’s incredible staff.

I had a wonderful time photographing this wedding and celebrating Haley and Kevin. They’re a great couple and truly just the nicest people. It was a joy watching them enjoy such a beautiful day.

Kayla and Eric’s wedding day may have started off a little (ok a lot) rainy in the morning, but the clouds parted and the sun shined bright for their beautiful outdoor West Clay ceremony. It was simply perfect. The backdrop was lovely and the flowers by Sweet Pea Florals were lovely. I enjoyed capturing their sweet ceremony so much. Kayla and Eric hosted a FUN party for their guests following their ceremony with soft blush flowers and special detials planned by Kayla with the help of Boldly Chic Events. Their entire day was flawless and absolutely perfect. Thank you to Kayla and Eric for letting us capture your celebration! Enjoy this sneak peek.

Lindsay and Andrew had the prettiest day for their engagement session. Gorgeous sunshine, incredible temperatures. The day was flawless. We took their photos around the beautiful grounds of the IMA and I enjoyed every second of seeing how happy these two are together. They’re a great time and I can’t wait for their 2016 wedding! Until then, enjoy this sneak peek.

Oh my. I just adore Karissa and Evan. Talk about a wonderful couple. These two are just great to be around so I couldn’t have enjoyed their beautiful IMA engagement session more. I’m over-the-moon to be photographing their March 2016 wedding and I know that with the help of Boldly Chic Events, it will be absolutely stunning. Looking forward to March!

Oh boy. This wedding was one of my all time favorites. It was beautiful with gorgeous details from Sweet Pea Florals, planned perfectly by Boldly Chic Events, and filled with some of my favorite people. My brother was a groomsman, my best buds were the planners, my great friend, Megan, was my co-photographer, and my parents were there to dance the night away. Top it off with the greatest bride and groom ever and this truly was a day that I enjoyed from top to bottom.

Dan is an old family friend and it was a true honor to photograph him and Kathryn getting married. They’re a really sweet, kind couple and I’m so happy that they’ve started a wonderful life together. This beautiful wedding was a wonderful celebration of the new Mr and Mrs Wouters.

Rachel and Patrick asked me to head up to Valpo to photograph their wedding. And it was an HONOR. These two are great. They are good people, fun people, and I was thrilled to celebrate their new life together with them. They planned a really cool wedding with great food and a packed dance floor. Their bridal party was as nice as they come and every single member of their family was wonderful. Every moment of this wedding was a fun one and I’m so thankful to Rachel and Patrick for letting me capture their perfect day, and to Ashley Link for making the trip with me. Enjoy this preview of their wedding.

Wow! What a wonderful couple! Lauren and Matt are just as great as they come. They’re incredibly kind and fun to be around. I’ve known Matt for awhile now as my husband’s friend but it’s been such a joy getting to known him and Lauren myself and enjoying time with both of them. They’re planning a really spectacular wedding next year with the help of my officemate, Boldly Chic Events. It’s going to be absolutely stunning and I can’t wait for the celebrations to begin. Enjoy this sneak peek!
