Elyse + Matt June 15, 2013

When your bride's day job is a graphic designer you get beautiful, artistic, and well-designed wedding day details. Elyse did just that. She took what her and her groom to be, Matt loved best and ran with it.

Elyse and Matt are avid baseball fans and have traveled to a number of different baseball stadiums. Everything was Cubs colors, which ended up being so beautiful.

You will definitely enjoy scrolling through this wedding!

This is the sweetest and as a mother to a young daughter I can only hope for a similar relationship with her as she gets older. Elyse asked her mother, Carol to be her Matron of Honor. You could feel the love they have for each other throughout the entire day.

Tables didn't have numbers, instead they had stadium names. It was so perfect.

Their guestbook was Elyse's art in a frame that will be perfectly displayed.

Shandell + Danny June 1, 2013

Shandell and Danny were such a wonderful to work with and her inspiration for her wedding was beautifully brought to life by her. I love that she chose multiple shades of purple as her wedding colors. Everything just popped that June day.

This beautiful and in-love couple is going to have a long, happy life together.

Her wonderful photographer even designed this perfect inspiration board of their day.

The wedding was suppose to be outside, but we were rained out. Thankfully in Winona Lake we were able to moved guests into a nearby chapel, which ended up being beautiful and intimate. 

Their wedding party, looking adorable of course.

These girls were seriously the cutest!

The reception was held at Stonehenge Country Club

Cory + Katie October 6, 2012

This was a beautiful wedding about beautiful people, inside and out. Katie and Cory are an amazing couple and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of their big day. I feel so blessed to have had that planning time with Katie's family. In four short months we not only planned a dream wedding, we became good friends. 

I want to send a special thank you to Katie and Cory and the Walgamuth family!

These photos from Peppermint Wind Photography tell the entire story! They did an amazing job at showing the true beauty of Katie and Cory's wedding.

I hope you are able to find inspiration thru these beautiful photos.
