When wedding restrictions went into place in the early summer of 2020 Alison and Haden had to decide what to do with the big wedding they had planned to celebrate not only their nuptuals but also Allison’s graduation from law school. It was an event years in the making that suddenly needed to be changed. They decided to keep their original date for the ceremony and move their reception to next year. Luckily, Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, IN had some availability for a short wedding ceremony in their beautiful amphitheater.
The day was hot and sunny. If you’re a photographer, you know that outdoor weddings on hot sunny days can be a bit of a challenge but thanks to some creative angles and my signature candid style, I don’t think you would ever know!
This day was one of my absolute favorites of the year. Alison got ready at home with her sisters (new and original) and her mom and grandma oversaw all the fun moments! During the processional, it became clear that grandpa needed a little extra stability for all the stairs and Haden literally leapt into action to help. As someone whose been married for over a decade, I knew in that moment that these two have a strong future.
I’ll get to meet up with these two and their lovely families again next year and I know its going to be just as much fun as this day was!
