It was great to be back at Fair Oaks Farms for Lauren and Ryan’s summer wedding at the picture-perfect Indiana wedding venue.

Before I show more of our golden hour and sunset wedding photos, the day starts with bride and groom prep at the adjacent Fairfield Inn & Suites Fair Oaks Farms.

I had a great time bouncing back and forth from the bridal suite to the groom’s suite, and we had a lot of laughs in both. Soon enough, it would be “go time,” as Lauren said, and we’d make our way toward the outdoor ceremony area.

June Wedding Photography at Meyer’s Castle: Elegant, Romantic, Unforgettable

A bride and groom stand out on the lawn in front of Meyer's Castle wedding venue.

The first look between the bride and groom at Meyer’s Castle was magical. Tucked away in the ivy-covered gardens with the castle’s stone facade in the background, the groom turned to see his bride for the first time — and the emotion on his face said it all. The moment felt like it stood still as they took in each other, and the groom read his card. With the castle’s timeless architecture and lush June greenery surrounding them, it was a deeply intimate and cinematic moment — a perfect start to a day full of love and celebration.

I have had many out-of-state clients having their weddings here in the Midwest lately, and I can now add Andrew and Taylor to that list. They flew in from Austin, Texas, to get married in the bride’s hometown.

The beautiful summer wedding featured an outdoor ceremony at Briar Ridge Country Club in Schererville, Indiana.
