Courtney & Matt enjoyed a wonderful wintry wedding day in Fort Wayne, with a ceremony at St. Michael Lutheran Church followed by a reception at Fort Wayne Country Club. The acoustic music-filled ceremony was beautiful, and the photos that hung on the ends of the pews added a personal, unique touch to the walk down the aisle.

After some shots around downtown with Morgan of Morgan Ruth Photography, we headed to the club for the reception, which looked amazing with decor by Be Married. The paper airplane escort cards were perfect for the guests of this marine pilot and his new bride. After some formalities and great stories, Mike Campbell of Sound Advice DJs took over for a fun evening of dancing.

Jessica & Marcus tied the knot (literally) in an elegant wedding ceremony and enjoyed a dance-filled reception at the Columbia Club. Coverage started with preparations in the bride’s room, the couple’s first meeting on the first floor, a few bars on the Hoagy Carmichael piano by the super-talented bride, and photo time with Erin Hession and her team. Then the ground floor ceremony incorporated unique touches like handfasting (i.e., tying the knot) and a wine box filled with love letters to be opened in five years.

The reception in the 10th floor ballroom featured some amazing dance moves by the bride & groom, who met each other through their mutual love for ballroom dancing, while the Cool City Swing Band provided the classy tunes. The room looked lovely courtesy of Bokay Florists, and the team from A Touch of Elegance provided exactly that and so much more to the entire day.
