I LOVED photographing this wedding for Nate + Tori in Indiana. I love how I have come to know all of these lovely people in a small town quite like my own. They truly are ‘my kind of people’. I actually photographed Tori’s brother’s wedding 5 years ago ( I think it was 5 years). What’s crazy is between her brother’s wedding + her wedding day, I photographed another couples wedding (Jordan + Courtney) at this same venue, which is somewhat the beginning of this couples love story. How fun is that? Nate was Jordan + Courtney’s wedding & Tori’s family is good friends with Courtney’s family and they ended up playing match maker… and here we are !! A little fun fact, Tori’s parents own this event center & are quite familiar with the wedding industry. They totally get how the timeline of a day flows & how to entertain guests at the reception. Thankfully, Nate + Tori decided to do a first look and we literally did EVERY picture before the wedding. Family & all were completely done before the ceremony, which allowed us to have a relaxed timeline for photos & get into the reception quickly. Also, we were able to venture off property with just the bride + groom to get some other shots of a different background. I LOVE how those turned out as well. They are two of the most laid people I have worked with. Tori looked absolutely STUNNING !!! She has the most beautiful skin tone with a contagious smile. Nate was nothing short of sweet to her + looked quite dapper in that navy suite.
Gorgeous details, gorgeous venue, gorgeous dresses, beautiful ceremony, and so many special moments with so many people. I’ll come back here any day to hang out with all of these people + share a meal at Roseburg Event Center.
