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.

I had such a blast filming Marie & Jay’s wedding last year, so I was very excited to get the chance to film another wedding in the Martin family up at the Tippecanoe Lake Country Club in northern Indiana.  In fact, family played a huge role throughout the day, with a cousin coordinating the wedding, an aunt doing the flowers, another aunt & uncle hosting the reception, etc.  Best of all, Christina’s mom was the matron of honor, her dad was the officiant, and Kyle’s dad was the best man.

After a sweet first meeting followed by pictures with photographer Nicole Mehl, we squeezed in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in between storms, and then raced down in golf carts to a lakeside beach for a toasts and more photos.  The reception featured an amazing slideshow, great music courtesy of Dance N’ Sound, the biggest dessert spread I’ve ever seen, and a wonderful couple at the center of it all.
