“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”
“It’s going to be 100% chance of rain today” said our bride Mary when I arrived for getting ready pictures. She was matter of fact about it but I could tell she was not happy about that. But, she also knew she was surrounded by the important things - friends, family and the love of her life - Ben. As far as pictures, we had to all run a bit faster and think on our feet but I was also excited to give these newlyweds a peak at the back of my camera with a shot like above.
Mary did her mom’s make up as well as her own while I captured the camaraderie and the details. Under The Veil handled hair. I met the groom for some detail shots over at Munster Center For The Visual and performing Arts in Munster, Indiana just before the first look on the spiraling staircase. This reveal was as grand as those wonderful stairs.

We utilized the wonderful lobby at the center and then braved our way out into the rain for some images. The groomsmen gave up their jackets and then feigned freezing and we had some fun as clouds opened up even more.

After pictures of the wedding party we headed inside for family pictures and then made our way to Crossroads Community Church in Schererville, Indiana for the ceremony. Then it was back to the Center for Visual and Performing Arts for the celebration.

The Center For Visual and Performing Arts is a very elegant wedding venue and the bottle of champagne awaiting the bride and groom certainly reflected that. I believe the couple likes to cook and the recipe guest book had folks choosing their favorite dish. The dance floor was live for sure.
