Marissa and Dennis were married on Valentine's Day weekend in Crown Point, Indiana. The day was filled with red and white and hearts galore. We started out at the bride's parent's home with everyone in great spirits. Even Dad paid the girls a visit as they took over his man cave with hair products and make up. Second photographer Kerrie captured the guys at the ceremony site getting dressed while I captured the women at the house.

Free Spirit Church is a few blocks from the downtown Crown Point Square. Friends and family filled the church as Reverend Doug calmed the bride and groom's nerves with laughter as he pronounced them man and wife.

After family photos in the church, we all bravely headed to the Square for outdoor photos. Let's just say, it was a wee bit cold!! Marissa and Dennis were great as was the entire wedding party. Their cheeks might have been a little rosy, but they looked good with the Old Courthouse as a backdrop.

Our next stop was the warm confines of the banquet halls at Woodland Park in Portage, Indiana. The room was a Valentine red and had an endless candy buffet. A balloon sculptor was on hand for the kids and they clutched onto their new toys as they watched the bride and groom during their first dance.
