When two Valparaiso Alumni get married, you gotta have a first look on campus at the Victory Bell, right?!
We did all of this and more at Lindsey and Mark's fall wedding. They had a church ceremony at Heritage Lutheran Church in Valparaiso, Indiana, and a reception at Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Indiana.
We started inside the Sand Creek bridal suite with bridal prep while the guys got ready at church.

We took portraits of the wedding party and bride and groom near The Chapel of the Resurrection on the Valparaiso University campus and then we went downtown for the church ceremony.

Heritage Lutheran Church has some wonderful architecture as we used the balcony there for a perspective from above.

We then returned to Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Indiana where we found some intense fall color near the willow tree area of the beautiful golf course.
Spare Room Studios designed the decorations for the ballroom, while Amplified Events kept the dance floor rocking.
The bridal party arrived via school bus, which was fitting for our bride, who is a teacher. One of our bridesmaids even made a guest appearance behind the DJ booth!
