I have always found June a great month to get married as you have the entire summer to celebrate. It’s also perfect for a lakeside ceremony, and Angela and Erik must have felt the same way.
Our day began with bridal prep at the bride’s parent’s home before moving to the Wicker Park Social Center, where the bride got dressed and had a reveal with her bridesmaids.

Like many churches, Saint Mary’s in Crown Point has crowd size restrictions due to the current health crisis. Nonetheless, this Catholic church wedding ceremony was able to take place and then we were off to Valparaiso, Indiana for an outdoor ceremony in front of friends and family.

We began our day for Mallory and Ryan's summer wedding at Beauty and the Beach in Crown Point, Indiana. We had plenty of beauty on hand, but with temperatures in the high 90's, we definitely could have used more beach!! Seriously though, it's a great spa / full service salon and all the bridesmaids seemed to enjoy it there. Even Mallory's two doggies made a visit during bridal prep.
