Marina and Albert’s wedding in Highland, Indiana was so beautiful and full of lots of joyous moments. Surrounded by their friends and family, they said I do and had the most beautiful wedding day.
Getting Ready Photos Near Their Church
Their ceremony was held at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Whiting, Indiana, so Marina got ready nearby with all of her bridesmaids and her mom and mother-in-law. After a first look with the bridesmaids at her hotel, the girls made their way to the church for the first look. Meanwhile, Albert was getting ready with some final touches at the church while he awaited his bride.
A First Look at The Church
Meeting outside the church, away from guests and family, they shared a simple and meaningful first look together along with some written private vows said to each other before the ceremony. We took a few couple photos and it was such a lovely setting.
The Ceremony
Choosing the church Albert attended with his family growing up for their ceremony, St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Whiting was a beautiful and sacred spot for their wedding ceremony. With the rites and holy elements for their ceremony, Marina and Albert said I Do in front of their friends and family. Marina’s dress with a long veil was so beautiful in the space, and Albert looked stunning in his black tuxedo. Matching the groom, the groomsmen wore black tuxedos, and the bridesmaids looked lovely in black dresses.
Wedding party and couple photos at Wicker Park Social Center in Highland Indiana
We made our way to the Wicker Park Social Center to document their wedding party and couple photos after their ceremony. This location was a lovely spot for photos, with a beautiful pond, gazebo, towering trees, and gorgeous landscape behind their lovely venue. Marina and Albert even had their sweet fur baby, Ozzy join for a few photos!
Cocktails and details for their Highland Indiana Wedding
The Wicker Park Social Center has a lovely reception area and is perfect for weddings of all kinds. With gorgeous details chosen and planned by Marina and Albert, their neutral florals with touches of gold and green were so lovely in the space.
Guests enjoyed cocktail hour while Marina and Albert got to visit with them before the reception formalities began.
Dinner and Dancing at Wicker Park Social Center
With a gorgeous plated dinner by the catering staff, guests enjoyed dinner and live music, followed by toasts and dancing. Hearing some really meaningful words from Albert’s brothers, Marina and Albert’s friend who set them up together, and Marina’s father, it was obvious how loved this couple was.
Dancing this night away, guests joined as the couple partied and enjoyed every bit of their amazing wedding reception.
I absolutely loved photographing this beautiful Highland Indiana Wedding!
Marina and Albert: you two were such a joy to work with for your wedding. I wish you every single happiness as you begin your married life together!
