Snow falls upon the dance floor at Aberdeen Manor.
Carrie and Brandon had been planning their winter wedding at Aberdeen Manor Ballroom in Valparaiso, Indiana for quite sometime. The day had finally come and snow was falling when I arrived for bridal prep photos.
I found non-stop laughter and plenty of moments to capture. I even got to pop over to see the groom and his crew as they were nearby.

Carrie had two first looks / reveals. The first was a great moment with her sons who had looks of amazement as they saw mom in her dress. This all lead up to the big reveal with Brandon.
After coming down from the emotional moments of the reveals we realized - it’s cold outside! It was time for portraits of the bride and groom and the wedding party as began arriving for the chapel ceremony.

The wedding ceremony took place inside warm confines of the Aberdeen Chapel. Carrie’s eldest son walked her down the aisle as friends and family looked on. There were plenty of laughs during the proceedings but also some emotional moments that required a few tissues.
Soon we were walking across the street for the rocking reception.
The Aberdeen Manor Ballroom looked elegant as ever and introductions lead into the cake cutting and some spirited speeches. Then it was time for first dances and the opportunity for everyone to celebrate the winter wedding of Carrie and Brandon.

Summer Outdoor Wedding At Aberdeen Manor

Jacob and Jasmine had a wonderful summer day for their outdoor wedding in the garden at Aberdeen Manor Ballroom in Valparaiso, Indiana.
Our day began at the historic Aberdeen Inn, a wonderful bed and breakfast down the street from the ballroom. So many moments and laughs were unfolding with the bride and her family and friends inside the picturesque bridal suite. I certainly was busy and on high alert with everything from opening gifts, reading love letter, dance parties on the bed and yes, hair and make up for the big day ahead!

The slurpee machine was “out of order” at Family Express, so we settled for some Jones Cola and some very cute moments between the bride and groom.

The reception inside the elegant ballroom of Aberdeen Manor saw performances during the introductions, roasting during the many speeches and of course plenty of dancing. Our last shot of the evening was a barefoot dip in front of the lit up chapel across the street.
