My goodness, are these two in love or what?! The love Megan and David share is so incredibly evident in their photos. They were such a pleasure to photograph!

To be honest, it was hard to get them to have a soft, romantic moment and NOT smile lol! As I edited, I even had a smile on my face! I have no doubt you will, too as you check their photos.

A Morris Estate Wedding | Niles, Michigan

This Morris Estate wedding in Michigan features a white chapel ceremony and tented reception. Satin sage green bridesmaids dresses accented the florals which were a combination of neutrals with touches of blush and toffee roses to accent the fall colors of Michigan. The bride donned a classic gown with a mermaid silhouette and sweetheart neckline. And you’d never know, but Savanna actually added the custom off-the-shoulder (removable) sleeves and they truly elevated the look of the gown! And they’re removable so when the party started, she had the freedom to dance! When I found out Savanna wa ..read more

When Cailey told me about her vision for her engagement session I about died!! And I had been anxiously awaiting to see it come to life! She said “I’m thinking of a city hall elopement in my hometown at the courthouse” and I immediately said YES GIRL. That white blazer mini-dress just makes the whole thing. But then when she had her grandmother’s “bride and groom” champagne flutes from her wedding, I just lost it! How frekaing special?! This session was just too much fun to be a part of. Caily and Brad were just so sweet and bubbly, I can’t wait to hang out with them again next September for ..read more

This day was all about family. The most important aspect of Jennifer and Cole’s wedding day was to be surrounded by the people who mean the most in their lives. Jennifer’s daughters, their siblings, and even their spouses were all part of their wedding party and Jennifer’s brother officiated. Leading up to this day, it was unbearably hot here in Indiana but luckily things cooled down and it was tolerable for Cole and Jen’s wedding celebration! The berry farm was a beautiful backdrop to portraits and the party was in a lovely light-filled reception hall! Jen picked out the most beautiful soft ..read more

This summer wedding at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge in Rockton, Illinois features pale rose petal bridesmaids, light grey groomsmen suits, a fitted backless bridal gown and a cathedral-length bridal veil. The florals were neutral with touches of blush pink and the grounds of the venue allowed for so many beautiful portrait locations. Brittney found me on Pinterest. I still can’t believe it. Before I left on Saturday, she said “I thought, ya know what, I’m just going to click through and check this girl out. But she’s probably in New York or something.” Then she was so happy when she found ou ..read more

It felt like we had been waiting for this engagement session for so long! And when we finally got around to getting it scheduled, it didn’t work out to shoot at the Morris Estate, which was Savanna’s first choice. When she mentioned the possibility of shooting at the Indiana Dunes I absolutely agreed we should shoot there! As an Indiana wedding photographer, I am used to working with the changing weather. And leading up to the session, weather looked decent. It wasn’t going to even hit 80 which I thought would be very comfortable with the lake breeze. Well, of course when I arrived at locatio ..read more
