Warren and Emily’s summer wedding at The Pavilion At Sandy Pines in Demotte, Indiana had everything going for it - wonderful candid moments, emotional first looks, a fun wedding party, supportive families and more. This made for a great showcase of the hybrid photo / video coverage that I do. Of course, it could not hurt that every time I turned around there was another great moment to be captured.

Fall color surrounds the newlyweds at Briar Ridge Country Club.
Fall color finally arrived in Northwest Indiana for the Fall wedding of Colette and Jared at Briar Ridge Country Club in Schererville, Indiana. October 31st made even more “spook-tacular” although the couple refrained from a full on costume party at the reception. They did however, provide enough candy and other treats to rival many tick or treat bags.
We started off in the bridal suite with Krissy V. enhancing the beauty and soon wedding coordinator Hannah from Enchanted Events was on the scene as we made our way from a series of first look reveals, culminating with the groom.

The guests who love candy and sweet treats did not need to worry that they were missing out on Halloween night. A treat table was on display. During cocktail hour a warm fire was lit in the lounging area as Jim Bulanda sang the songs of Frank Sinatra and others for a very classy pre-dinner social hour. 27 Entertainment had the dance floor rocking.

Summer Wedding At The Pavilion At Sandy Pines
A romantic moment between the bride and groom on Sandy Pines golf course.
We had sun, we had rain and we even had a rainbow at Cody and Elizabeth’s summer wedding at The Pavilion at Sandy Pines.
We started inside the beautiful bridal suite which is a building onto it’s own with the bride and her squad downstairs and the guys up above.

I’ve done many Greek weddings and with the bride having some of that heritage in her family it wasn’t a shock to see some circle dances with money being showered upon the newlyweds.
The Pavilion was decorated so elegantly with tall centerpieces overlooking the guests. The desserts were homemade and the cake reflected the groom’s (and latecomer the bride) affinity for fishing.

And then, it happened…. a rare opportunity to photograph the bride and groom with a rainbow overlooking the ceremony area. So out we went onto the damp sidewalk for a slow dance between the newlyweds as the rainbow shined overhead.
