Mike + Miranda fell in love when they were kids. And made it work. They are fearless, adventuresome, and live life fully in the moment. And know that they have a love worth telling, worth fighting for.
When you think about all the variables that come together to make you exactly the person you are, and then you think about joining your life together with a completely separate person who has their own million variables, marriage is quite staggering.
Kate and Christian’s wedding day was just that – staggering. We got to see their moms giddy at the idea of gaining a son/daughter in law they love. We got to see Kate getting ready at her parent’s home – a place surrounded with memories and photos from her childhood, Christian chest bump his best man minutes before walking down the isle, an emotional moment between Kate and her father as he danced with the daughter that first made him a dad, a couple of awesome friends who made some hilarious karaoke appearances, and a middle of the winter South Bend, Indiana wedding with NO SNOW (which, you locals will understand, is quite staggering in itself!).
When it comes down to it, Kate and Christian’s day was memorable because they surrounded themselves with their closest family and friends – all part of the equation of their story, celebrated what they share, committed to make moments TOGETHER for the rest of their lives, and sealed it with an awesome dance party.
We hope you enjoy what we saw.
The people we loved working with on this day:
Pastor Jamie at Sunnyside Presbyterian Church

Flowers and Decor by the incredible Mary from Marigolds
Jennefa Krupinski with Toast & Jam
I wasn’t there but I feel like I got the whole story from these pictures. Gorgeous venue and fabulous capturing of good memories. I enjoyed looking at this.
Danny + Micki are expecting a beautiful new life to join their family soon. It seems SO appropriate to celebrate their relationship the way it is now. Because, after all, it is the reason there’s going to be a little one in their lives.
Gorgeous! Congrats you guys!
Drew + Erin’s New Year’s Eve wedding was an absolute joy to be a part of. As sister-in-law to Erin, I got to enjoy the day as a family member and capture it as a friend. Drew + Erin began the new year in the best possible way I can imagine…married! How fantastic to be able to dream for the future together. Thank you, friends, for inviting me into your adventure.
Kathryn Wales - These are just phenomenal!
