Historic Gardens Formal Engagement by Indiana Wedding Photographer Courtney Rudicel

Columbus, IN — They were going for “old money” and “historic estate” vibes and I like to think my style thrives in that environment! Kaylyn and Karson’s golden hour engagement session took place at the historic Irwin Gardens in Columbus. The enchanting gardens of this estate provided a perfect, picturesque setting for their love story. As the sun dipped behind the historic inn, the golden hour light bathed the gardens in a warm, dreamy glow. The charming beauty of Irwin Gardens complemented Kaylyn and Karson’s connection, resulting in joyful and romantic engagement photos. I can’t wait to celebrate these two again on their wedding day at Black Iris Estate next summer!

The 5 minute gentle rain drops gave us a little “Nicholas Sparks moment” that just killed me!

As a destination wedding photographer, I am invited to travel near and far to capture the uniqueness of each love story and celebration. While I'm always refining my eye for shooting creatively, I also understand the importance of documenting the elements of your day organically, as they unfold. You'll feel confident knowing your gallery will include jaw-dropping portraits that feel natural. You'll have candids, filled with emotion that embody your unique personalities and showcase the connection to those you surround yourself with, along with every detail of your celebration from start to finish. All this while having someone behind the camera who feels like an old friend.
