Kelli & Jordan - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines, Demotte, Indiana - Wedding

One of my favorite weddings to date! Kelli & Jordan already had a small celebration with just family before this.. if my memory serves me right, on a beach in Hawaii! But they still wanted to celebrate with the rest of their friends and family.
Sandy Pines is a forever favorite venue. The atmosphere, the people who work there, and the grounds are all amazing.
Every wedding last year made me love detail photos more and more. If thats possible. Im obsessed.

Bridgette & Danny - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines - Wedding

We all know how much I love Sandy Pines, but Bridgette and Danny literally had the best day at Sandy Pines. The weather was perfect. We had a sunset… boy did we have a SUNSET.

Its always super special to watch a family member or friend marry a couple. It always seems like it means even that much more when its someone close to you. Bridgette’s aunt was one of the best family members I have seen get up in front of a crowd of people and deliver a powerful and heartfelt union.
What a great day. I am so happy for these two and I cant wait to see where they go in life!
These two are now drs, and living life as a married couple <3

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!

Madeline & Jake - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines - Demotte, Indiana

Madeline & Jake had one of my favorite wedding days at Sandy Pines…
Its no secret that Sandy Pines is one of my favorite venues in the area, and I always go a little nuts with photos here. I always say make sure to have at least 90 minutes of portrait time for me here… cause I cant quit! Once I get going I cant stop.

I cannot say enough good things about these two love birds. They are perfect for each other, and I had a BLAST capturing their special day. <3
Peep at their first look! It was one of my favoritesssss!

Angela & Alex - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines - Demotte Indiana

Angela & Alex kicked off wedding season back in June. The world was still a giant question mark. These two pushed through that and made sure they were standing in front of their family to say their vows!
It was such a beautiful day and it was a great way to kick of wedding season. I feel like I haven’t had a chance to sit down since this day!

Sandy Pines will forever be my favorite venue in this are. I mea.n… the perfect sunset portrait place… the prefect dress hanging place… its really just perfect.

This might be my favorite wedding… of 2020! <3

Ashlee & Donald - October 21st - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines

When your best friend gets married, you have to double as a bridesmaid AND a photographer. So *some* of these photos are compliments of my second shooter Liz. If I'm in the photo, Liz took it! HAHA! I can't tell you how many times I cried that day. Knowing my best friend was marrying the man of her dreams, at the most beautiful venue. I still tear up thinking about it. I have known Ashlee since high school, so it was for sure special to be able to stand up with her, AND photograph her wedding. I don't think I'll be able to do that again though! 

Breanna & Nick - July 22nd - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines

When I met Breanna and Nick for the first time, I knew these people would have a special place in my heart. I absolutely loved getting to know them from their first consolation, to their wedding day. These two were made for each other and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. July weddings are normally pretty warm. Well, their day was incredibly warm. The humidity was ridiculous. Sandy Pines is for sure one of my favorite venues in the area. I mean. Look how beautiful it is?? Any time of year this place I just breathtaking. 

I was so happy when Bre and Nick decided to have a first look. I knew Nick's reaction was going to be pretty hilarious. He's not a crier, and thats okay, but I didn't know he would giggle the whole time! The pictures speak for themselves on that one. At the end of the evening, the newlyweds had a special gift to their friends and family, a firework show! AND sparklers. I mean, how cool is that?? Some of my favorite wedding images of the year are in here!
