It was a warm summer day with deep blue skies at Ashley and Matt's wedding at Centennial Park. The wonderful weather certainly contributed to all the smiles and laughter through out the day along with the joyous occasion of the newlyweds. I would say it was definitely a family affair throughout the day from Getting Ready all the way to kids and parents on the dance floor at the reception.

The day started at Pure Envy Salon in St. John, Indiana with fruit and pastries for breakfast and a whole lot of laughs as hair and make up were readied.

The outdoor wedding took place on the terrace overlooking the lake at Centennial Park. Reverend Doug Klukken oversaw the nuptials as family and friends soaked up the bright sun.

For bride and groom images, we took advantage of the bright sun for some dramatic and artistic wedding photos. The bridesmaids got to wear some fun sunglasses too.

I had not taken a jumping shot in awhile, but since the wedding party seemed up for it - away we went. The groomsmen took off like flying martial arts ninjas. Thankfully the bridesmaids landed safely as plenty of dancing was coming soon.

The phrase 'Love is the key to happiness' was Ashley and Matt's wedding theme and that was apparent with their key decor. Guests used these to find their table and they made for great detail shots for us.
