Holly and Ethan had a wonderful day for their summer wedding at Four Corners Winery in Valparaiso, Indiana. As you will see from the photos here, Four Corners Winery is an expansive open air venue that can host your outdoor or indoor wedding ceremony and reception.

Our day started with me covering bridal prep and second photographer Lauren capturing the groomsmen’s NFL Fantasy League draft at a nearby hotel.

We then invited the wedding party to join us and utilized some of the farm equipment as props. Guests were arriving and soon it would be time for the ceremony overlooking the orchards.

There were lots of cute little kids mingling with the big kids before and after the outdoor ceremony which saw Holly’s Dad walk her down the aisle as friends and family looked on.

For wedding receptions, Four Corners Winery has a covered open air structure for dinner and dancing. However, weather was great so dancing took place outside along with games as well as a dessert bar area. And yes, that is a red rooster you see following around our newlyweds!!

We had quite the sun filled skies for Jackie and Kevin’s summer wedding at Lighthouse Restaurant in Cedar Lake, Indiana. We also had many unique moments with a celebration that day of the bride’s parent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary and also Jackie arriving to her ceremony via boat.

Let’s begin at her parent’s house for bridal prep and an impromptu dance rehearsal from her mom and Dad while Alex Garcia handled make up duties along with Lerin Johnson Bridal Beauty.

John and Kathy have a beautifully landscaped area behind their home where we did some bridesmaids photos along with a portrait of this 50th Anniversary couple.

While I was on my way to the boating dock to capture Jackie’s boarding of the boat that would take across Cedar Lake to the ceremony, second photographer Bridget was taking Kevin and the guys pictures nearby.

Jackie met up with her crew that would take across the lake to Lighthouse Restaurant where Kevin and friends and family would be waiting on the deck. Her walking down the aisle consisted of coming down the long pier and eventually up the stairs where she married Kevin while overlooking the lake.

June Barn Wedding At County Line Orchard

Bride and groom walk the apple orchards during their summer wedding.

Rachel and Brandon had a wonderful, but hot and toasty June wedding at County Line Orchard. The fans were going full blast inside the grain silo bridal suite as Krissy V. tended to make up with Cheri from Top Knot doing hair. Flowers With Jazz did the floral and Amplified Events provided the soundtrack.

I love to take bride portraits inside the grain silo at County Line Orchard. The texture of the wood mixed with that lighting was the perfect spot for photos of Rachel’s flowing wedding dress.

As I was doing portraits of the bride, second photographer Kerrie was capturing the guys getting ready. Soon it was time for our “peekaboo” shot outside the gran silo.

At this point with County Line Orchard such a large venue, we were able to do the groomsmen photos and bridesmaid photos at the same time. Then it was time for the outdoor ceremony at the big oak tree behind the apple orchards.

The outdoor, rustic wedding saw the tractors carrying guests to the ceremony site as well as the bride and her Dad as the last arrivals. The flower girl took a spill but was soon rescued by her mom. I love the look of disappointment on her face as she sits on the ground!

After the ceremony we took family photos and wedding party group pictures and then I took the newlyweds all around the CLO grounds. Then it was introductions and time to hit the dance floor.

The reception had rousing introductions as well as the bride doing a cake smash onto the groom. The bouquet toss was done from way up in the balcony and I took the newlyweds outside for a night time portrait near the north barn.

Gabrielle and Matt had a wonderful summer wedding at Briar Ridge Country Club. The green hues of the expansive golf course were everywhere and made for some very romantic, nature filled photos.

Our day started in the brand new, modernized bridal suite with Hannah Nottingham providing make up and Texture Pointe Hair Salon also on hand. Kathy’s Florist designed some wonderful bouquets and flower arrangements as well. Second photographer Kerrie captured the arrival of the groom and his guys and soon it was time for our bride and groom reveal.

Matt practically leaped with excitement as he turned around to see Gabrielle in her dress for the first time. He walked all around her until they embraced with a kiss.

We strolled around the gold course grounds taking romantic wedding photos as these two embraced, hugged, kissed and embraced. I played paparazzi to their celebrity status for the day. We had fun in the near perfect summer weather.

We had two of the most excited recipients of the bouquet and garter for sure! And the dance floor was so full that I had to stand on chairs for many of my photos to capture all of the fun.
