It felt great to be out shooting weddings again and capturing people’s memories. I could not have asked for a better group of folks to do so with than Amanda and Taylor and their families.
This post will be different than what you you usually see here as there was no reception and there were no guests due to the current health emergency in the world. That celebration will come at a different time.
We did have a cake cutting though!! And really, it’s all about the cake… ;)
Home is where this wedding story begins.
As the sign says, “home is where the story begins” with Amanda’s bridesmaids getting hair and makeup done. Everyone was in great spirits and I had fun telling stories with them and photographing the decor for the day.

The wedding ceremony at Village Church in Dyer, Indiana was preceded by a first look with Dad before he brought her down the aisle to the awaiting groom, Taylor.

As their pastor stated, “things happen for a reason” and although many seats may have been empty because of this health crisis, hearts were very full. The groom’s mom was very excited for her son and his bride and it showed when they exited the church.

After family photos and wedding party pictures at church, we all took off for Centennial Park where a “cake ceremony” and “bubble send off” was planned for the newlyweds.

While family set up for the cake ceremony, the wedding party and the happy couple wandered Centennial Park with me taking pictures and enjoying the beautiful Spring day we had.

So this was my very first outdoor “cake ceremony” at Centennial Park. It was a great idea! I didn’t know it was happening until the day of but I’m really glad this sweet moment took place.
The bride and groom cut their cake and then exited down the walkway as family and wedding party blew bubbles. They all then grabbed an undercover picnic area and ate some delicious cake.
The official reception will take place later when friends and family can party on the dance floor.
