Cayla and Dylan’s wedding felt like stepping into a timeless love story set against the charm of a private Indiana estate. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this day would be something special. The atmosphere was warm and joyful, and every detail reflected the couple’s classic taste and effortless style.

Cayla looked breathtaking in a structured off-the-shoulder gown with a sweeping train and delicate buttons down the back. Her cathedral-length veil, edged with floral lace, floated behind her as she walked—she was the picture of grace and elegance. She carried a bouquet of ivory roses that perfectly matched the bridesmaids’ simple yet stunning arrangements.

The bridal party was beautifully coordinated. The bridesmaids wore backless champagne satin dresses that caught the light with every step, creating an almost golden glow. Their white rose and baby’s breath bouquets added a soft, romantic touch. The groomsmen wore sharp dark green suits paired with ivory ties, a rich and striking complement to the neutral palette of the bridal party.

The potential rain held off all day and the skies broke open at sundown to create the most romantic golden hour portraits.

From the heartfelt moments during the ceremony to the laughter and movement at the reception, Cayla and Dylan’s wedding was a joy to document from start to finish. It was the kind of day that reminds me why I love what I do—capturing beauty, connection, and the beginning of a new chapter.

The the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Woodling,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for inviting me into this season of your lives, and welcoming me to your wedding day with such open arms. From the very beginning, you made me feel like family—not just your photographer. Your kindness, warmth, and genuine joy were contagious, and it was such a gift to witness your love surrounded by those who mean the most to you. Please enjoy some of my favorites from your day!
