I photograph a lot of weddings — around 35 a year to be exact — and that means that I see a lot of wedding venues. And let me tell you something, my couples have great taste! Sometimes they find places that I didn’t even know existed!

So, I thought I would make a blog series based on some of those venues so that other people in the wedding planning stages can get the insider info on where to host their biggest party <3

Located just north of Fort Wayne, this venue is a great center point if you have family from the South Bend / Elkhart / Shipshewana area coming in for your big day. If the sweeping country landscape doesn’t make your heart swoon, across the street is an old brick monastery with wrought iron fences and beautiful brick buildings…and if THAT doesn’t catch your eye the line of trees in the orchard certainly will! This place has everything you need to make your party awesome!

Here is an exerpt from the Sylvan Cellars Website:
