Kari and Adam were married last September on the most gorgeous fall day you could imagine.  Surrounded by friends and family with an almost tangible feeling of celebration and excitement!  Kari was an absolutely stunning bride.  Her gown suited her personality perfectly, a little sparkle, a little something unexpected.  The more I photographed it, the more I loved it :)  Kari opted to have a bridal session just a few weeks before the wedding and thanks to the outrageous wind that day, we got some really fun images!

Kari and I started talking about her wedding way back at their engagement session.  She is a very detail-oriented girl…I like that in a bride :)  I knew her wedding would look beautiful!   Kari chose a bright coral color palette for the wedding…a color she describes as being the same as the inside of a grapefruit.  But her favorite detail of the day debuted at the reception in the centerpieces.

And finally, the handsome groom Adam.

After the ceremony, a few shots at the church before heading downtown.

Below right, one of my favorites from the day!  Very sexy :)

The reception was held at the Scottish Rite Center in Fort Wayne.  The ballroom was transformed with gorgeous florals, linens and uplighting.  And Kari’s favorite detail, the white ostrich feathers!

Kari and Adam, thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your day.  Your wedding is one I will always remember…so much FUN!  Looking back, it feels like I spent the entire summer last year surrounded by you and your wonderful friends.  I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my Saturday nights with anyone else ;)  Hope you are both enjoying your first year of marriage!!
