Anacelia & Blake - Blissful Barn - Michigan

Blissfull barn become one of my favorite venues last May.
Anacelia & Blake had a beautiful Memorial Day weekend wedding with their closest friends and family. Still one of my favorite days last year, where I swooned almost all day.

Two sweet souls who were just happy to be officially married!

Kaitlin & Corey - Millcreek Wilde - Michigan

Yes, this wedding was last year… yes I am THAT behind in blogging… but ya know… I have a lot to edit!

Kaitlin & Corey are always the life of the party wherever they go so we knew they would throw an absolutely amazing party for their friends and family. This was one of my favorite wedding days.. they didnt let the rain dampen their day. They got married right there in the rain, and all those rain drops mixed with some tears of happiness for these two.

One thing I love about being a wedding photographer, is the referrals.. a lot of these people at this wedding are past and current clients. Which just always warms my heart when I see so many people I know and love at weddings. <3

Shelby & Anthony - Colorado Engagement - Rocky Mountain National Park

When a client wants to fly you out to photograph their engagement session in a National Park the answer is always yes. ALWAYS. yes. Especially in Colorado. 100000%
Thank YOU Shelby & Anthony for having us come to Colorado for this. I am so thankful for this experience.

Matt and I were able to make a little vacation out of it, which made it even better. We had a blast driving our rented Jeep Wrangler around the National Park to scope out locations.
Im so glad we made this session for sunrise, because there was NO sunset and it started to snow that afternoon stay tuned for snowy mountain pics they are my fave. We saw about 3 different seasons in a span of 3 hours. it was crazyyy. Cold, hot, back to cold.

I loved everything about this sesh. I will just let the photos speak for themselves. I have never been so happy to be up at 4am to drive into the mountains…. and see 1838 deer.

OBSESSED. Now for their wedding here in a few weeks!! <3

Paige & John - Engagement Session

Okay, engagement sessions are low key some of my favorites… I love getting to know my couples ill be working with later in the year or even a year from now. You get to feel more comfortable with the posing and learn more about me. I even feel more comfortable arriving on your wedding day, knowing you and having already seen your face.
Paige & John are getting married at one of my favorite favorite FAVORITE venues in NWI this May and their engagement session last year was one for the books.
The clouds rolled in right before their session and I was like “aw man” then the sun came out halfway through and they got to see me do some weird happy dance thing.
Their chemistry was off the charts and I cant wait for golden hour on their wedding day. Its going to be STUNNING.

Alyssa & Trey - Engagement

Back last spring? Maybe summer? I met up with Trey & Alyssa to shoot their engagement session in Michigan City. I was immediately excited to shoot their wedding in August of 2022. We didnt get much of a sunset, but we for sure enjoyed the warm weather and pretty downtown vibes.

Jess & Dave - Munster, Indiana - Wedding

Jess & Dave are a HOOT. I loved their wedding day so much! They kicked off the 2021 wedding season and it was the best day. We had like 50 degree weather, which is crazy for February. We enjoyed the nice weather and sunshine for sure.
Jess & Dave are the sweetest people and I am just so thankful they chose ME to capture their big day! I also am pretty smitten with their friend group. I have now done two (well three as of June) of their friends weddings. Which is honestly the highest form of flattery. I will miss seeing these guys though!

Brittany & Brandon - Centennial Park - Munster, Indiana

I instantly connected with Brittany & Brandon last year when we met for a wedding consult. We bonded over our love of traveling. I am so happy they didn’t cancel their wedding, but simply pushed it up a few months. I already miss the calls and emails that Brittany & I would exchange.
It rained their whole entire wedding day. And it was freezing. It put a small damper on the day, but these two were troopers and bossed it up for their wedding portraits.

Bridgette & Danny - Engagement

I am MISSING the beautiful golden fall sunsets right now… I know around that time of year I dont take time to appreciate it. Its wake up, edit, do laundry, edit more, go to a session, come home and edit some more and bed. So when its cold out, like how it is today, I take a little time to reminisce…

This was one of my first sessions at this location. and if you’re like me and like weeds… like crawling into weeds for the perfect picture. THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU. SO beautiful.

I am just so excited to see these guys again here in just a few short months!

Ashley & Paul - Demotte, Indiana - Fair Oakes Farms

Ever since Ashley & Pauls engagement session I was DYING to see these two again. Another wedding, that covid almost ruined. Thankfully Ashley & Paul have some amazing family and friends who stepped up to help them have the wedding of their dreams still. It was SUCH a beautiful day. It was the best.
AND when Ashley’s dad gave her away at the end of the aisle there was not a dry eye sitting there… Her dad grabbed her by the arm and didn’t want to let go. I blubbered like a baby. So. Sweet.

Sam & Donnie - DeMotte Indiana - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines

Sam & Donnie had their engagement session just a few short weeks before their wedding and it was easily one of my favorites! It seemed like we got SUPER lucky at their wedding too with the sun!
And my favorite buddy Cole was able to take us to a few places around Sandy Pines I had never been to so it was even more extra special!
Oh these two. They had the best day and I am so happy that fate had other plans for them. I know it wasn't easy planning three weddings. Yes. Three. Weddings. But due to covid they had to make other plans. Third times a charm and now they are living in marital bliss! <3
Cant wait to see these two again soon! Hopefully!

Sam & Donnie - Engagement

Hold the phone. These guys are SUPER MODELS. Their August wedding was one for the books and that blog is coming up soon!

Some of my favorite engagement photos came from this set… Gosh. THE SUN WAS AMAZING.

Bud & Adrienne - Ogden Gardens - Valparaiso Indiana

Bud & Adrienne are friends of the Homan family. So it was pretty fun to have my bother in law in the bridal party, and feel like I was just hanging with friends all day! I know this day is not exactly what these two envisioned but they made the best of it! Adrienne said from the get go, they were getting married that day and thats all there was to it! They wanted to get married so nothing was stopping them. <3 It was a special day for them and im so happy I was a part of it!
Cant wait to party with them again next year!

Hannah & Cameren - LaPorte Indiana - Wedding

Hannah & Cameren were two people I clicked with right away at our consult last year.
My father in law works with Cameren and told me he’s not much of a talker… well, at our meeting he talked up a storm…. You could tell that he just adores Hannah, and WHO WOULDNT? I mean by the end of our first meeting I could see myself becoming GOOD friends with Hannah. Hannah is the sweetest soul, and these two were just made for each other.
Hannah & Cameren both said no matter what happened with COVID, they would get married and they SURE did. They told me a little secret before their day, and I was so excited they were able to announce it with these photos! :)
I can not wait to see these two again soon. They are my favorite people. <3

Kaitlyn & Nate - Hobart, Indiana

Can I just say, how much I looooove backyard weddings. If you're wanting to host your own backyard wedding, take notes from these guys… I know they worked SO hard on their house and yard that year to make sure it was perfect. Kaitlyn & Nate are the two sweetest people, and their day was just perfect.

The daddy, daughter first look was my favorite of this season. It was the sweetest thing ever.

Basically their day was amazing and one of my favorites this season. <3

Danielle & Chris - Valparaiso, Indiana

When I met Danielle & Chris for their consultation a year ago, I just knew they were going to be one of my favorite couples. When talking about their wedding plans, they just wanted a low key, backyard wedding. MAN. I live for these types of weddings. LIVE FOR THEM.
These two are just the cutest. I loved their special day. They got ready at the Aberdeen Inn, one of my favorite little places for getting ready pictures. The natural light in almost every room is amazing. The back section with the beautiful gazebo and tall trees. I could go on. - I will just say again how much I loved their day.
