Kaelyn + Carl | Lavender Fort Wayne Wedding

This Indiana wedding was colored with a graceful lavender palette, from the florals to the bridesmaid gowns to the tiered cake. The bride wore a ring of striking turquoise blue and radiated joy as she stood hand-in-hand with her newlywed husband.

Kaelyn and Carl met in high school, but didn’t get engaged until eight years later. Their photographer describes what it was like to photograph the joy of their wedding day.

From the Photographer

Kaelyn and Carl held their nuptial Mass at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They are a giggly, adorable couple, full of love for one another. In fact, they’ve known each other since high school and finally got engaged eight years later.

When I arrived at Kaelyn’s home the morning of the wedding, bride and bridesmaids were completely calm, and yet I could feel the excitement in the air. They were sharing laughs and sipping on champagne--it was a great way to start her wedding day.

As the ceremony approached, guests filed in, hugging one another with joy. Eventually, everyone found their seat to celebrate Mass and watch Kaelyn and Carl exchange their vows.

I looked over at Carl and saw that he was absolutely ecstatic to watch his best friend and soon-to-be wife walk down the aisle.

As soon as the bride and groom laid eyes on each other, it was all smiles. They were so happy to be together, to be holding hands, and to finally enter into the sacrament of marriage as husband and wife.
