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.

It was a perfect later afternoon / early evening at Ohio Street Beach in Chicago for this epic wedding photo session with Olivia and Dylan.

The sunset brought us some awesome hues in the sky, but most importantly, our couple was game to embrace the water of Lake Michigan and get down and dirty in the sand, Trash the Dress style.

I’m often asked to take sunset wedding photos and I can understand why that is. I find that time of day perfect for photography.

There are a few obstacles to us getting you some gorgeous wedding photos at sunset. These range from important reception events happening at the same time to uncooperative Midwest weather to physical obstacles. I do have my workarounds though. Let’s discuss this.
