Kayla + Nick : 09.07.19 | Pine Valley Country Club – Fort Wayne, Indiana Wedding Photography

I met Kayla on our Tuesday Night Ladies bowling league at my family’s alley, Garrett Bowl. She is a longtime friend of my stepsister and Tuesday nights were always a blast! When she asked me to be her wedding photographer, I was absolutely over the moon! We met up that fall and played in the leaves in Fort Wayne during their engagement session. Nick absolutely cracked me up; their session definitely ranks as one of my top favorites.

Kayla and Nick’s intimate country club wedding at Pine Valley Country Club in Fort Wayne was a gorgeous event full of sentiment, love, and laughter. I felt like a part of the family right away and had such a great time with everyone. I was so delighted when I heard that they chose their youth pastor from Sunday school to marry them. Personal and sentimental touches are some of my favorite things to experience at weddings. It truly adds a unique and unforgettable touch to your big day. Another one of my favorite things is when the dance floor is hoppin’ and it definitely was at Kayla and Nick’s reception! I don’t think there was a single moment where there wasn’t a person out getting down on the dance floor. It is so fulfilling to see everyone grooving and having a genuinely good time together.

Congratulations, Kayla and Nick! I am so happy for the both of you. <3
