I often don’t meet my couples until the wedding day—it comes with a little anxiety as to what I am about to walk into—so when I walked in and found the boys all playing video games in the basement and was greeted by a cat that rolled over and wanted belly rubs, I knew that I was in the right place. The girls breezed in a few minutes later with Blizzards from Dairy Queen and I knew for sure that I was in the right place, haha.
I get asked all the time, “Is it okay if we bring our dogs?” or “We were thinking about having our dogs in our wedding…would that be weird?” I just want to assure you that if at any time a dog makes an appearance in or around our time together, I will very likely ignore you for a few minutes so I can pet it and tell them how cute they are. Perhaps for that reason, I tend to attract dog lovers as clients and Laura and Bryce are no exception. Her only request of the day was that we get some photos of the corgis (no problem there) and find a way to incorporate their love of riding in a few photos. Both of which turned out so much better then I could have imagined. Everything is better with dogs!
PS: If you are thinking about incorporating your dogs into your wedding I have a past client that runs a Pet Wedding Coordinator business that can help make sure your doggos are taken care of so you don’t have to worry!
Cara and Matt are actually a couple of real estate agents that I work for. They got married in a small ceremony at The Story Inn in Brown County but had a bigger reception back at home for everyone else. I am so glad that I got to be a part of this special reception! Cara outdoes herself with everything she plans and this was no exception. I also got to check out The Barn 38 in New Castle, Indiana for the first time. Its a beautiful venue that I have driven past so many times and never even knew it was there! So if you are looking for a great barn wedding venue in New Castle, check it out!
Also featured are some delicious cakes by Kyndee’s Cakes and Confections :P
Elaine and Scott’s wedding was the first wedding of the year to be effected by the reduced gatherings here in Indiana. So instead of rescheduling, they took over Elaine’s parents’ backyard and slashed their guest list to only include immediate family other than the wedding party. They live streamed their day to the rest of the family. A few of the aunts and uncles even made a special dinner to eat with them along with their reception.
So I am technically photographing Katie’s wedding later this year but when she contacted me to see if I would be interested in doing a styled shoot for her wedding planning business I was totally up to help out—even if preplanned / detail photos aren’t exactly what I’m known for and I’ve never done a styled shoot in my life. Haha! As seems to be the case with styled shoots, things didn’t go as planned. Katie’s models weren’t able to make it so she and her soon to be hubby stepped in. It ended up being the perfect run through for their big day coming up in the fall! Plus we got a lot of adorable photos for the Moonlit Designs Wedding Planning Website and got to feature Mo’s Cupcakes and Endless Sweets’ beautiful creations. Not to mention we got some great photos with their pups.
If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of wedding coordinator in Fort Wayne give Katie a call! I worked with her on her friends wedding earlier this year and she did a great job!
