Affectionately known as the “apple orchard” wedding venue, County Line Orchard is iconic and home to many weddings for Northwest Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan couples.
I would be remiss if I did not take Sarah and Ricky into the orchards themselves for wedding photos just before they tied the knot inside the middle barn.
The morning began with bridal prep at a local hotel before moving to the bridal silo while the groomsmen used the other silo.
Wedding Prep

With a mid-afternoon ceremony and guests arriving soon, the couple chose to have a first look, including their beloved puppy dog, Bella.
We then traveled around the grounds for wedding portraits of the soon-to-be-married couple and their wedding party. Many family group photos were also taken before the ceremony, leaving the couple time to enjoy their cocktail hour.

Ceremony
The couple had always planned on an indoor ceremony in the middle barn and with powerful winds outside and threatening clouds, this worked out well.
Sarah was escorted down the aisle be her Dad as Ricky and Bella waited for her.
After a celebratory, post ceremony shot, the bride and groom mingled with their guests and family during cocktail hour and then it was time to party on the dance floor.
