The reception ballroom at Blue Chip Casino Hotel Spa for Karley and Anthony’s March wedding was very elegant with the happy couple having a ball while cutting their cake from Designer Desserts and dancing with friends. I loved the floor to ceiling sparkling pillars and used them quite a bit for effect while shooting dancing and speeches.

Beach Wedding at Portage River Walk
Chris and Tabitha have what I call "the gaze". I spent their entire wedding day with them and it was ever present. They would just look at each other and the smiling would begin. Their love for one another was very apparent. It showed in both of their families as well. I'm very grateful for the way they welcomed my assistant and I and the tremendous hospitality shown to us.
Chris and Tabitha's day started out at the Blue Chip Casino hotel where we took a few bride and groom portraits. A sweet and tender moment occurred as they rehearsed their self written vows to each other in the lobby of the hotel.
Due to the extreme heat and for the health and safety of some family members, the ceremony was held inside the Portage River Walk Pavilion that looked out onto Lake Michigan. Afterwards we took many family photos in addition to wedding party photographs all along the beach front.
The wedding party was fun and easy going enough to climb up on the rocks for me for a unique wedding party group photo. Thanks guys. Hope I didn't get you all too dirty!!
Time for a spontaneous group hug from the best man and maid of honor.
The reception was a family affair in every sense with an intimate (and delicious) dinner at Water's Edge restaurant in Michigan City. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends - everyone was there. The night was capped off by the bride and groom dancing in the aisle as friends and family looked on. Once again they were gazing into each other's eyes. What a wonderful night!!
