I was thrilled to capture the debut wedding of Jilly’s Boutique Cafe in the downtown square of Crown Point, Indiana. Morgan and Fabian were my fab couple and we had a fabulous day capturing ceremony and receptions at this new intimate wedding venue, along with wedding portraits all around the downtown square.

This couple’s love story was entirely set within the historic city in Northwest Indiana, with bridal prep at Megan’s parents’ home on the north end of the city and photos of the bride and her bridesmaids done right off of Summit Avenue.

Emily and Josh will be getting married at Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan later this year. To match the aesthetic of their wedding venue, the couple chose to have their engagement photos taken in downtown Crown Point with the many types of brick and various vine covered walls there.
It didn’t hurt that they regularly would take walks all around the downtown Square and of course partake in the many dining options.

Tori and Steve had originally planned to have a Spring wedding but this is the year 2020 and well, we all know that plans for this year had to be flexible to put it mildly.
So a winter wedding it ended up being and what a beautiful day it was.
I started off with bridal prep at the Old Lake County Courthouse inside the spacious Accessor’s Room on the third floor while Kay covered guy’s prep at the couple’s home.

In between taking details photos of fun moments, mementos and the flowers provided by Kathy’s Florist I also snuck down to the Maki Ballroom as was amazed at how Stacey and crew of The Grand CP had created a winter wonderland for the reception later that night. Stay tuned for those images down below.

The ceremony took place just down the street at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Crown Point. Before we left the downtown Square to see Tori walk down the aisle, we had a first look with Dad and Kay took some portraits of the groom outside the venerable church while I shot the girls in the downtown area.

As I explained earlier, Maki Ballroom truly was a winter wonderland. Musician Denny B. entertained guest before and after dinner. Spotlight was on the bride and groom for the first dance and the father of the bride got a bit emotional during the dance with his daughter.
