Happy Friday! Here's a quick sneak to brighten up your feed: Breanna and Caleb Duncan were married on October 12th, 2024 at the 3/12 Event Center in Fort Wayne, IN. These two booked with me back in 2022, so it has most certainly been a long time coming for the Duncans! It was such a joy to finally see these two in person and to capture their love story. Seeing them dance the night away with their closest friends honestly may have been one of my favorite parts, but for now, let's take a moment for this bride's heartfelt vows to her hubby 🫶🏼 Congratulations to the new Mr. + Mrs. Duncan, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! 🤍✨

It was an honor and a privilege to work on this gorgeous styled shoot alongside this talented vendor team back in September! Couldn't post until this week, as we submitted this shoot for WeddingDay Magazine's Styled Shoot Contest. I also had an amazing opportunity to work with Gina of Sugar on the Rim Events to help prep for the shoot the day before, and she even let me design the head table layout! So thank you, Gina, for once again providing an awesome opportunity to learn and grow. And shout out to this incredible team of wedding vendors, everyone did a phenomenal job!

It's been a long time coming for this one...Julie and Jesse Smith were married on October 13th, 2023. Their skup took place in the home of Juliana's parents, followed by their wedding ceremony in East Chicago (where Julie's parents were also married), and finally, everyone partied it up at the reception at Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood, IL (aka the Love Is Blind Season 2 wedding location). 🎉🤍 When I tell you this wedding day, and most importantly this couple, holds a special place in my heart, I truly mean it. Not only did we click when I first met with J + J (and their pup), but we met for coffee, I connected with Jesse's mom to make surprise slideshows, we had their parents' VHS wedding tapes digitized and I studied them to match as many shots as I could, and I interviewed their friends & family throughout the day. It was an epic project for an equally epic love story, and I'm so excited to finally share these memories in this little corner of the Internet for all to enjoy 🥰 Now, it is a longer edit, but trust me, it's so worth it -- especially if you love videos that make you smile! So without further ado, please enjoy Julie + Jesse's Wedding Film, and join me in congratulating Mr. + Mrs. Smith on 1 whole year of marriage!! 🤍✨

Kate and Adam Godbolt were married on October 4th, 2024 in beautiful South Haven, MI. One thing that Kate emphasized to me throughout the planning process was that they wanted to keep their wedding day intimate, with their closest family and friends in attendance. I would say that was accomplished as they all escaped northbound to a quaint venue, South Haven Creations, outside of our Northwest Indiana bubble. While this sneak peek is quite the opposite of small, I felt it necessary to give the dialogue in this video the time it needed to tell a little bit of this couple's story. Kate and Adam, it was such an honor to capture your special day and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek. 🫶🏼✨ Congratulations to the new Mr. + Mrs. Godbolt! 🎉🤍

It's officially been one whole year since this magical wedding day, so I'm just here to wish a very happy (and 1 day late) anniversary to Natalie and Nick Pearce! Natalie and Nick were married on September 30th, 2023 in Valparaiso, IN on an absolutely gorgeous day. Everything about this day was perfection...from the unique venue provided by their close family friend, to the delicious barbeque dinner, and the amazing personalities present throughout.

Wishing a very happy 1 year anniversary to Ben & Payton! 🤍✨ These two were married on September 29th, 2023 at Friendship Gardens in Michigan City, IN. The amount of thought, care, time, and genuine love that went into this day was out of this world. Ben & Payton’s sincerity, uniqueness, and selflessness shone throughout the entire day, as well as the entire time in which we worked together. This film will forever hold a special place in my heart, just like this couple, as I felt that the magic was truly captured & reflected in the final edit. Congratulations once again, Mr. & Mrs. Wiersema! Enjoy 🫶🏻
