Paige and Jonas had one of the most sweet weddings. Lots of laughter and some tears were shed as these two people united together. One name, now and forever. The ceremony was held in the church Paige grew up attending and the reception was held at the Indiana Masonic Home in Franklin, Indiana.

She gave him a journal that she had written in every day since they got engaged. (correct me if I’m wrong Paige!)

He wrote her a letter. <3

Jonas + his guys.

Paige + her girls.

Paige wore her grandmother’s gloves for a few photos, as she went to heaven before the wedding. A way to have her grandma close on her wedding day.

Not a dry eye was in the house as Paige walked down the aisle to Jonas. Not seeing each other beforehand made for an incredibly beautiful moment. Paige, Jonas, and their closest family and friends worshipped and honored Christ in their ceremony. And all cheered as they were pronounced husband + wife for the very first time.

My favorite part of the day, time to take photos as HUSBAND AND WIFE!!!

It was a fairly rainy, overcast day. But I could not have asked for better attitudes from Paige + Jonas and their bridal party. Plus…look at how COOL the sky is for their photos. Some of my absolute favorite images were taken on their day! No need to let overcast photos ruin your day. 😉

On to the reception!

Speeches! Paige’s dad and stepdad both gave heartfelt speeches. Paige’s maid of honor gave a speech and Jonas’ best man gave a speech…in German! This wedding was so cool because Jonas is from Germany and most of the day was half english, half german. Two families, two cultures, one union.

First Dances. So many emotions…you know I totally cried at the father-daughter dances. THEY ALWAYS GET ME.

When there isn’t a knife and Papaw offers his pocket knife…you take it! These are the best parts about weddings. <3

Paige and Jonas, thank you for loving each other so well and sharing your genuine love with so many. You radiate Christ’s love and joy and I’m so excited to see where your adventure of marriage takes you!

Thank you for choosing me to capture your day, I’m SO grateful!
