Welcome to the summer wedding sneak peek of Megan and Brandon at Aberdeen Manor in Valparaiso, Indiana. It was a day full of sunshine, with two first looks, a garden ceremony, guests dressed in black for an evening of dancing, and a surprise dress change for our bride.

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!
While I was capturing the bridal prep, photographer Doug was with the groom as he prepped and read his love letter from his bride to be.

Dress: Elegance
We took bridesmaid and groomsmen group photos separately and then it was time for an impromptu first look as Dad crashed the girls’ party over in the fountain area.
The garden wedding ceremony saw a nervous Jacob with friends and family watching as Jasmine was escorted down the aisle by her Father. The sun peeked out over the garden as the two exchanged vows.
Family photos were next along with wedding party and then off I went with the newlyweds to some nearby scenic locations for natural, candid and elegant wedding pictures. We even stopped at Family Express for some slurpees.
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.

Wedding At The Inn At Aberdeen
Kara and Hans had a lovely summer day for their outdoor wedding at The Inn At Aberdeen in Valparaiso, Indiana. This venerable bed and breakfast is a great spot for bridal prep as well as an intimate wedding. We started our day with Kara getting ready with the help of her daughter and friends.
I photographed Kara in the lovely halls of The Inn while Hans awaited his bride outside in front of the gazebo. Soon Kara would be walking down the aisle with a beaming groom to greet her and adoring friends and family.
The gazebo garden area is where outdoor weddings take place and it is tucked away below in a little valley. Kara was able to stand atop of the hill and look out at the scene before she came down the cobblestone pathway. The flower girl lined her path before she descended down the aisle.
The ceremony was quite the family affair, including the performing musicians who then made their way to light the unity candles with their parents.
After family pictures Hans and Kara strolled around the garden with me for romantic photos. Then we headed in for cocktails, cake cutting and dinner.
The reception soon came outside again where the bride and groom had their first dance as Angelo Cicco performed acoustically. Guests chatted as the sun came down and danced inside the gazebo. It was a wonderful summer night.
