I consider The Design Barn in Hebron, Indiana, a modern wedding venue, in that it has all of the niceties for a successful wedding day, and yet, a vintage charm, thanks in large part to the incredible efforts of the design team there (hence the name) and the location, the farm fields of Indiana, just off I-65.

Kyle and Alexis had warm temperatures and a sunny sky for their Fall wedding at Cloister In The Woods in Munster, Indiana.
October is the busiest month for weddings, and it was great to hit the ground running with such a great couple.
The day started with bridal prep at the couple’s Crown Point home before our first look at the lovely Lake Hills Park in St. John, Indiana.

“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.

Fall Wedding At Wicker Park Social Center
Bride and groom take a walk on the grounds of Wicker Park.
When I arrived at The Hair Shaak and make up artist Brittany Hennings was doing the finishing touches, the bridesmaids were already gushing over Francesca’s gorgeous look for her big day. Mom helped place the veil and then we were off to the bride’s parent’s home for dress and details.
Second photographer Michelle was with Zane and his guys where football talk ruled the day and congratulatory drink may or may not have been consumed.

I asked Zane if he was ready and he enthusiastically said yes. And with that, the first look between bride and groom was underway on the back deck of Wicker park Social Center. Fall leaves were strewn about as Francesca made her way toward her groom. After they had their moment we began photos with the wedding party as well as the couple.

All of my weather apps said no rain until nightfall. Sometimes those things don;t quite get it right as we did some rain during the ceremony and family pictures afterwards. However, it didn’t hamper the joy of the moment as Francesca and Zane married and the ring bearer delivered his top secret briefcase.

The reception was a Fall festival in and of itself, complete with a groom’s cake and tons of homemade desserts. Trans Audio brought the music sequined jackets and a good time was had by all. I even snuck out for some night portraits by the gazebo with the bride and groom.
