With an elegant, glamorous vibe, and a touch of rainy charm, their photos capture a stunning blend of urban sophistication and authentic romance. Although rain was in the forecast, we took a leap of faith, hoping for a touch of sunshine.

A Love Story Captured from Proposal to Wedding
Capturing Abby and Hunter’s love story has been an absolute joy. It all began when Hunter’s mom reached out to me on Instagram to photograph his proposal. Entrusted with planning a few special details like photography and a celebratory charcuterie spread, Hunter’s mother brought warmth and excitement to the planning.

On a picturesque holiday weekend, Hunter gathered family and friends for the perfect sunset proposal at their family’s Lake Wawasee lake house. Abby was genuinely surprised, and the look on her face as Hunter slipped his late grandmother’s wedding ring onto her finger was priceless. Adding to the emotional atmosphere, family and friends quietly emerged from around the corner to celebrate, creating an unforgettable moment filled with love and joy.
