Kaitlyn + Joel | Intimate Estate Wedding in Fort Wayne, Indiana

October 21, 2025

Kaitlyn and Joel were married on a Friday evening at a private estate in Fort Wayne, Indiana, surrounded by the people who love them most.

These two are absolute gems, and it was so incredibly fun getting to be part of their day. It was apparent all evening just how loved they are, both by everyone who was there in person and the people celebrating with them from afar.

The whole day felt intimate, personal and completely their own. From the outdoor setting to all of the little details they brought together, it was the kind of wedding that reminds me why I love photographing celebrations in spaces that already mean something to the people getting married.

And, of course, there was no shortage of really good moments to photograph. The polished ones, the emotional ones and all the little in between pieces that end up being some of my favorites.

Kaitlyn + Joel, you two are the best. So happy I got to document this one.
