Nick and Jillian got the best of both worlds this past weekend with rain for good luck while we were inside during the ceremony to clear skies for our outdoor photographs and back to more good luck rain while we were inside Macedonian Hall for the reception. Such is nature here in Northwest Indiana where if you wait 5 minutes..... well, you get the joke!! :)
All kidding aside, it was a wonderful day that started out at Downtown Hair Studio in Lowell where Jillian's mom and all around BFF got her make up done alongside her daughter.

Lowell Methodist Church was right down the street and we hung the bride's beautiful dress from the balcony as light shined through the stained glass windows.

Jillian did not want Nick to see her before the ceremony so we did a peek-a-boo shot with the groom walking in blindfolded. We then took a cute picture of the happy couple after Jillian relieved him from the bandana blindfold.

The church ceremony saw family and friends in the pews as the ring bearers announced the entrance of the bride. I loved the look of the vintage church, especially the cross that hung above during the ceremony.

After family photos we went to Nick's grandmother's farm house in Hebron for couples and wedding party pictures. The neighbor's curious horse decided to photo bomb the couple as they kissed along the walkway. Too funny!!

Macedonian Hall was all lit in an Amber hue thanks to DJ Shaun Kelly at Spinnin' Productions. The groom danced with his mom and Jillian danced with the important men in her life.

The large dance floor at Macedonian Hall was full as friends and family surrounded the couple in celebration. No one cared about the rain outside at this point. To all of us inside, it was already a beautiful night.
