Kara and Matt’s Wedding | Aberdeen Manor – Valparaiso, Indiana

Wedding on June 26th at Aberdeen Manor in Valparaiso, Indiana - (Post by David) Back in my past life while working as a full time graphic designer I had talked with a lot of graphic design firms. Well Kara’s sister Kristen worked at one of them and after we shot her friend Meghan’s wedding she recommended us to Kara.icon smile photoAnd that’s how we met. Kara wanted a heavy focus on photojournalism and wanted to keep things natural, and as laid back as possible.

Their wedding was at the gorgeous St. Paul Catholic Church was was just plain stunning to say the least with it’s incredible stained glass walls. The ceremony was filled with Filipino traditions that were completely new to us and their reception was filled with the same love and joy that one would expect from such a sweet couple.

We had so much fun with these two and loved how much the couple spent out on the dance floor, and how much their family did with them. It’s weddings like these when we question if we’re really, truly, working.icon biggrin photo
