Amy reached out around last Christmas to inquire about photographing her and Cameron’s wedding at the Mill Top in downtown Noblesville and I was immediately smitten with her sweet and friendly personality! I’ve had so many brides this year planning from out of town, and Amy handled her planning as effortlessly as the others. I don’t know how I get so lucky with the best clients. (I always get asked if I’ve had a “bridezilla” and I truly haven’t!) You’ll see from the smiles between Amy and Cameron there is nothing but love here.

I love the dusty blue palette with some pops of blush, navy and grey Amy and Cameron chose as a theme for the day. It was the perfect mix of pastels and deeper tones for this early summer wedding. 

The Mill Top’s building has so much character. This was my second wedding here (and both in the same month!) and I know I’ve only begun to touch on the multitude of spots for details, first looks and sweet moments with family and friends. Once again, Brittany and her team were so helpful throughout the day.

What a joyful day this was ~ I’m always honored to be asked to capture these once in a lifetime moments. Thank you, Amy and Cameron and blessings for many beautiful years together.

I had so much fun working with Rachel and Nick from a distance, since they’re currently residing in Virginia. I’ll admit, when Rachel reached out and mentioned Mustard Seeds was the venue, I squealed a bit inside. I’ve been dying to photograph at this most perfect outdoor venue, and it did not disappoint! After weeks (and weeks and weeks) of rain in Indiana – Mother Nature gave us this perfect sun-shiny day.

I love the blue on blue palette Rachel and Nick chose as a theme for the day. The dusty blue of the bridesmaids dresses, were a soft contrast to the men’s navy suits and both gave the florals from Union Street Flowers a sweet pop. Rachel’s off-the-shoulder lace dress was the cherry on top to the day’s look. While the outdoor space is open and reminiscent of the hills of Bloomington – the indoor getting rooms also offered a lovely bright and clean palette. Just wait until you see Rachel’s getting ready and her first look with her father. (Seriously all the heart eyes and I had tears in my eyes witnessing this moment, as did her dad!)

Rachel and Nick opted not have a first look, but a moment alone sharing a prayer. We led Rachel to where Nick was waiting and they read letters to each other and Nick prayed for the marriage. It was a really sweet moment and captured perfectly.

Thank you to Mustard Seed Gardens, Colleen and her coordinating crew, who were full of smiles as they assisted throughout the day. You were all a joy to work with and I can’t wait to be back!

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Hale and blessings for many beautiful years together.

Enjoy this sneak peak into their day!

 

 

 

 

 

She’s from Oak Park, Illinois. He’s from Warren, Indiana. Both the babies of their families with two older siblings and entrepreneur parents. A suburban girl and a country boy.

They met in 1967 at a mutual friend’s wedding while attending Indiana University in Bloomington. A teacher. A lawyer. Married June 28th, 1969.

I thank my stars these two found each other.

One city. Three homes. Four children & a son-in-law. Five grandchildren. 50 Years.

When I was creating my parent’s wedding anniversary invitation and a little insert I included, the words grit and grace hit me.

“Let’s celebrate 50 years of grit and grace.”

Can you think of any two words to better describe a marriage and one of so many years?

Choosing every day to love and trust always, to forgive when needed, to stay resilient in a world that likes to throw curveballs.

I can only hope our boys love, appreciate, respect and enjoy Chris and I as we get older, as we do these two. You are both two of my best friends.

You are such an example of grit and grace, and we love and appreciate you so.

XOXO Adam & Ella, Nathan, Olivia & Abby, Meghan, Chris, Henry & Huey
