This brave couple ventured out into a snow storm for their session, and the results could not be more romantic! They braved bitter temperatures, wind, and snow; all while be dressed glamorously! Winter sessions are some of my favorite, because everything is so otherworldly and ethereal.

Shelby and William are a real couple who are very eclectic in nature. Although this was a styled elopement, we wanted to stay true to their vibe. We decided on a celestial theme because of Shelby’s obsession with the moon. The 8ft moon alter was custom built by my team. Since we wanted this “elopement” […]

Back in October I had the honor of photographing the Cover shoot for WeddingDay Magazine’s Winter 2018 issue.

There was something so intimate about this session, and I couldn’t be happier that I was the one to capture […]

These two love birds are as unique and beautiful as their love for one another. Dani wore a silver gown that I am still swooning over, and Tom couldn’t hold back the tears when he saw her! This Fort Wayne, Indiana wedding is not one you want to miss.

On a lovely Fall evening, Madison and Brock met me at Hanging Rock in Lagro, IN. This historical landmark is the perfect backdrop for a romantic engagement session. We chased the sun, hike a limestone cliff, and made some beautiful art.

Mr. and Mrs. Miracle. It’s such a fitting name, for some serious miracles happened on their wedding day! With a 70% chance of rain, this couple chose to stay optimistic about their outdoor ceremony. As guests arrived, storm clouds rolled in, and sprinkles fell. Each bridesmaid and groomsmen walked down the aisle in anxious anticipation […]

This wedding was an absolute stunner. Paige and Justin chose the Avon Garden’s venue to tie the knot, and their outdoor ceremony and reception did not disappoint. Even with a little rain for good luck, the weather held out for their ceremony by the lake. After a short sprinkle, these two partied the night away […]

I had the pleasure of taking part in Leslie and Ariel’s traditional Jewish wedding! I learned a lot of new traditions, and enjoyed being fully immersed in the moment with them. They chose to tie the knot at the Lindley Farmstead at Chatham Hills, with their Chuppah illuminated by the setting sun.
