Brandon called me out of the blue and said he’d found me online and wanted to meet, and the rest is history. It’s not often the groom is the one to call but I’ve had other grooms contact me as well and it’s usually a good sign. Ashley and Brandon were married in Kendallville with the reception at Pokagon State Park. You could tell that they’re close with family and there’s a lot of love to go around. My impression was that the two of them understand what the priorities should be, and that’s awesome! They’re off to start their life adventure in Orlando. All the best!
We started at the salon, Ashley and her mom.

Talking through the hair.

Checking her look.




They decided to see each other before the ceremony and Brandon had a lot on his mind as he waited.




Passing through the basement, I noticed some of the family just waiting for the ceremony and the light was just perfect.

Linda stayed with the ladies. Sharing a prayer before the ceremony.






Bustling means energetic, lively or active!


The carriage awaits! She’s a beaut ain’t she?!

Yeah, that’s the way we roll.

I’m pretty sure Ashley was going to be a good sport about the whole thing even if it wasn’t exactly what she had in mind.

Luckily it was just a joke and there was a much nicer ride waiting around the corner.




We were supposed to do some portraits all over the Inn but Ashley was feeling a little worn out.


She made a quick recovery though.

No explanation necessary.
