Katie and Mike's Fall wedding at Lighthouse Restaurant in Cedar Lake, Indiana was an incredibly joyous affair with a chilly but brief outdoor ceremony, first look on the long pier and plenty of fun on the dance floor.
We started out at Downtown Hair Studio and the off we went to bridal suite on the second floor loft of the Lighthouse. Katie's jewelry really popped against the colors of her Fall decor.

Bride and groom first looks / reveals are always great moments and Katie's and Mike's was no exception. Keep in mind that temperatures had fallen into the 40's at this point with quite a bit of wind whipping up the lake water. Katie didn't let Mike wait out there too long and they both warmed each other up with a kiss.
