In the days leading up to Friday, the weather looked like it may drop a whole bunch of rain on this wedding day.  The location was set to be beautiful Starved Rock and rain was NOT in our plans!  It was a good thing we ignored that call for rain…because it only rained in the […]

When I walked into the brides getting ready room on Saturday, I found so much peace and calmness.  Lauren was eating some lunch with her matrons of honor and it was just so laid back and still.  It was much like this throughout the whole wedding day as Scott & Lauren became husband and wife. […]

Wow!  Do I have a pretty wedding for you all today!  I had the pleasure of photographing Caroline and Michael’s Springtime wedding this past weekend and it was such a delight!  After a Winter Break from weddings I officially kicked my 2018 wedding season off, and I couldn’t have picked a better one to start […]

When you are planning a June wedding, you really never know what kind of weather to expect!  The day could be rainy, stifling hot, bug-filled OR it could be gorgeously sunny, the sky filled with big puffy white clouds with a high temperature of 75 degrees!  Sam and Hope got their dream day to get […]

The sound of the rain pattering on the window is what everyone in Northwest Indiana woke up to on Saturday morning.  But even though rain was in the forecast all day, you would NEVER had known it.  Because the joyful anticipation as I arrived at the church was contagious and palpable.  No rain was going […]

When you meet them…you just feel it.  It is hard to even put into words but all I can come up with is that Erica & Chris never needed to say they were in love because their actions showed that they were head over heels in love with each other!  And then on Saturday I met […]

When I first met Kaylin last year, Joe was away at school (finishing up his college degree!) and couldn’t come with.  So Kaylin brought her mama and we sat and talked the night away!  I knew right away that we were a GREAT fit for each other.  I could tell right away the importance that […]

I remember sitting across from Julie and Drew in a small little coffee shop about a year ago.  They introduced me to their sweet and shy little daughter, Ava.  We sat and chatted about their story and their plans for their upcoming wedding day…and I just knew that the day would be beautiful! This past […]
