James & Elise

THE VENUE AND FOOD || LATE HARVEST KITCHEN

OFFICIANT || ANNE

This intimate micro wedding in Indianapolis wedding gave me all the feels. I'd like to say I coined micro wedding as that's how I'd best describe it, but it's a thing now!

I met these Elise and James months ago and from the start I knew I'd like them. I'm typically available for any of my couples for emotional support, advice during the planning process, or even to help craft. It's not often though a bride tells you that you're also a guest and you need to enjoy yourself at the wedding. She made me a place holder for goodness sake!

The wedding was at Late Harvest Kitchen, a classy restaurant beside The Fashion Mall. As we closed the private entrance gate to the patio I immediately felt like we had been transported. We were no longer near a busy road, but were thousands of miles away. Besides the three waiters we were on our own little moon, isolated and it was wonderful.

Everyone who was important to them was there. They had time to talk to everyone, take photos with everyone, and slow time down if even just for a few hours and take it all in. They were able to enjoy their wedding. It was perfect in every way.

I'm so happy these two found me and let me be a part of their wedding day. I hope to remain friends and meet up again, whether that's for some coffee at Hubbards or something a little stronger at Late Harvest.

I've known Leslie for years. She's the sweetest person and I was honored when she asked me to capture her wedding with Stas. One of the most important items on their wedding list was their guests. They had family and friends come from all over the world to celebrate with them. Their guests were so much fun! Everyone was dancing and laughing all night!

Congrats to you both!

The Wallen's: Engagement

COUPLE || AMELIA + CALEB

LOCATION || GOLLIHER FARMS IN CAMBRIDGE CITY

One of the ideas Amelia threw out for their engagement session was a sunflower field. There are only a few weeks in Indiana where the fields are in bloom. I am SO glad we were able to find a time to go! This hidden gem was gorgeous and not too crowded.

We went later in the evening expecting to get some sunset photos. Instead we got some moody clouds as a storm was rolling in. We didn't catch any lightning in the photos, but we did get some great overcast coverage.

If their engagement session is any indication of how fun their wedding will be, I think we're all in for a good time at the Wallen wedding next fall!
