This springtime celebration nestled in the country outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana was full of joy and laughter. Here you’ll find my favorite moments of Jessica and Drake’s wedding at Union 12, where the spring air is fragrant with the promise of new beginnings. The wedding, with its soft, neutral hues of champagne and navy blue, focused on celebrating this incredible couple surrounded by friends and family.

The whole day was filled with overwhelming celebration of Jessica and Drake’s union. It was apparent from the start, how overjoyed their friends and family are to witness them tie the knot! The theme of the day was PARTY MODE. From the pitstop at the Dillman residence for wedding party drinks after the ceremony to the live band playing country and rock favorites, Jessica and Drake wanted their guests to feel immersed in the party vibes from start to finish.

To the newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. Dillman,

I can’t begin to tell you how honored I feel to have been able to celebrate alongside you. You, your family and all your friends, without a doubt, made me feel like part of the gang! Like I wasn’t just hired to capture your day, but invited to partake in it. Your wedding day is a memory I will always cherish! I wish you both the absolute best in everything you do and hope to see you both again when I am hired for your friends’ weddings! lol!

Jessica and Drake love to prank each other so having Drake’s best man, Mitch, show up to the First Look in his mother’s wedding gown was pretty “on brand” for Jessica lol! Drake’s reaction–“That’s disgusting!!” haha!

Jessica literally has the ultimate hype squad!

Don’t mind me just vibin’ with my bride talking about how we’re going to be actual friends even though she is moving to Detroit lol

THE HOG TROUGH DANCE: A tradition in this family (and actually the next family’s wedding I’m shooting as well!) is for the older sibling to dance in the hog trough when their younger sibling gets married before them. Derek was a good sport about it lol
