A Statehouse Wedding? Yes, Please.

A year ago today, I photographed this beautiful wedding at the Indiana Statehouse. It was full of love and laughter and honestly, just the sweetest people. As someone who is very very selective about the weddings I agree to take on, this was the perfect one. Not too big. Beautiful setting. Lovely people. It was a win in every way and I came home with my heart so very full. Happy 1st Anniversary, you two. This next year is going to be even more amazing, if you can imagine that! :)


I wanted to share more from their big day because sometimes we just don't have enough social space on social media platforms to put alllll the things on there, but this felt like a fun way to relive such a happy day.
