The holidays are all about good food, celebrations, and making memories with those you love the most. This winter wedding was nothing less than that. Seeing Eric and Michelle celebrate their love for one another surrounded by their large families and friends was such a wonderful heart-warming experience. I wish you both all the best on this new journey as husband & wife!

I’d never been to West Baden Springs, Indiana. I’d actually never heard of it before meeting Jenna & Grant. When they first told me their wedding would be at a resort in Indiana, I honestly didn’t think much of it- after all there isn’t that much excitement here in the Midwest. But boy was I wrong!! When I pulled up to West Baden Springs Hotel, I was amazed to discover that it was a massive castle in the middle of Indiana! Who knew?! Excitement filled my body as I began to think of all the awesome photos we would take there!! It was luxurious, classy and elegant- all the attributes that Jenna herself embodies. It was the perfect location for this lovely couple.
Jenna & Grant, thanks for inviting me along to join you all on your wedding day. The love and complete adoration that you two have for one another is inspiring. Grant, as I’m sure you already know, you’ve got yourself one special lady!! Jenna’s gentleness and kind-spirit is so endearing- she’s truly one in a million! Congratulations!! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love together and many many blessings along the way! -Nicee

When I woke up to raindrops hitting my window on the morning of Mallory & Tom’s wedding day I was saddened by the possibility that this bride wouldn’t be able to take her pre-ceremony photos around the city as we had both hoped. A few days prior Mallory and I had mapped-out our route around the city of the top 3 places that she wanted to have photos taken- we were ready. A stormy day was not what we envisioned for her bridal portraits. However when I arrived to her hotel suite later that morning, Mallory didn’t seem phased by the clouds at all. She laughed with her bridesmaids, glammed up, and slipped into her dress with such confidence as if there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. I was amazed by her calm demeanor and carefree attitude throughout the morning.
Well, to our surprise, just past noon the clouds parted and the sun began to fill the suite!! We all beamed with excitement as we boarded the party bus and headed on our way. Even with the humidity and wind, Mallory was radiant- simply breathtaking. Which resulted in some pretty spectacular photos!
That evening, all the toast & speeches that I heard from their close family members and friends confirmed all that I’d witnessed throughout the day. Mallory and Tom are a dynamic duo!! They live in the moment and enjoy every moment with each other regardless of the circumstances at hand.
Mallory & Tom, thank you for the opportunity to share in your big day! I wish you both all the best as you embark upon this journey as husband & wife.
