Kem and Austin’s wedding in Indiana was the perfect blend of elegance, sentiment, and heartfelt celebration. The day began at the Hotel Elkhart, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, where Kem got ready surrounded by her sister, her mom, and her niece. It was a calm, meaningful start to the day—filled with quiet laughter, happy tears, and a sense of anticipation that made every moment feel special. The natural light pouring in through the windows made for the most timeless portraits, and the connection between these women was a joy to witness.

From there, we headed to the groom’s family property for the ceremony—a beautiful, personal space that made the day feel intimate and grounded. Their sweet dog Cooper was part of the celebration, and his presence added such warmth and personality to the experience. The ceremony itself was stunning—thoughtfully planned, full of emotion, and framed by the natural beauty of Indiana’s countryside.

The reception took place beneath an elegant white tent filled with laughter, toasts, and dancing. Every detail was curated with intention but never felt overly formal—it truly reflected Kem and Austin’s love for each other and the people closest to them. As the sun set, the evening gave way to a surprise firework display that lit up the night sky and brought everyone to their feet.

It was one of those weddings where everything just felt right—laid-back yet refined, joyful yet grounded in deep connection. Being there to document the story of their day—from quiet getting-ready moments through to the fireworks finale—was an honor. Kem and Austin’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that the most meaningful celebrations are the ones that feel true to who you are.
