It was great to be back at Fair Oaks Farms for Lauren and Ryan’s summer wedding at the picture-perfect Indiana wedding venue.

Before I show more of our golden hour and sunset wedding photos, the day starts with bride and groom prep at the adjacent Fairfield Inn & Suites Fair Oaks Farms.

I had a great time bouncing back and forth from the bridal suite to the groom’s suite, and we had a lot of laughs in both. Soon enough, it would be “go time,” as Lauren said, and we’d make our way toward the outdoor ceremony area.

A bride and groom stand out on the lawn in front of Meyer's Castle wedding venue.

The first look between the bride and groom at Meyer’s Castle was magical. Tucked away in the ivy-covered gardens with the castle’s stone facade in the background, the groom turned to see his bride for the first time — and the emotion on his face said it all. The moment felt like it stood still as they took in each other, and the groom read his card. With the castle’s timeless architecture and lush June greenery surrounding them, it was a deeply intimate and cinematic moment — a perfect start to a day full of love and celebration.

The veil surrounds the bride and groom as they intimately stare into each other's eyes.

As a wedding photography and videography team, we love when couples choose to begin their day with a Catholic ceremony at St. Thomas More Church in Munster, Indiana. The church’s stunning architecture, warm natural light, and deeply rooted traditions provide an elegant and reverent atmosphere that translates beautifully on camera.

Following Estefani and Victor's ceremony, heading to County Line Orchard in Hobart for the reception felt like stepping into a storybook. Especially in May, the temperatures are just right, offering a dreamy mix of rustic charm and vibrant greenery—perfect for golden hour portraits and candid moments.

The bride and groom stand on rocks while looking out onto Lake Michigan at an Indiana Dunes Beach.

There’s a timeless romance to the Indiana Dunes beach, where the golden sands meet the rolling waves of Lake Michigan under an endless sky. After photographing their engagement session here and now, they chose this breathtaking backdrop for their wedding photos. It’s clear that Katie and Matt are drawn to its natural beauty.

The gentle rustle of dune grasses and the light reflecting off the water created a serene, dreamlike setting—perfect for starting their lifelong journey together.

Before we could get to this moment, they needed to prepare to unite and be married. I captured all of the wonderful moments of bridal prep, while Wendy documented groom prep.

Here is a sneak peek at the details, emotions, and laughs of their epic day—from a first look with Dad to a blue hour slow dance on the back deck of Allure On The Lake wedding reception venue.
