Happy September!! 🍂🍁

I’m still around—just doing all the things! Also, trying to finish up my last summer wedding so that I can get a few weeks “off” before the intensity of October weddings.

BUT!!!! I wanted to take a second and share this super exciting opportunity with you all though. I am doing a photo walk with the Marshall County Arts Center on September 26th.

It’s going to be such a great morning to grab a cup of coffee and come meet others who share a love for photography. We will be taking a stroll around court square area, so make sure that you wear comfortable clothes & walking shoes! You will need a DSLR camera and a memory card… this is the perfect time to dust off that old camera! 📸

We will be reconvening at the art center after our walk to look over some of our favorite images that we captured. This is a fun opportunity that I don’t want anyone to miss out on. The link to register is below! Please consider joining! 🤎

❤️ A Booking With A Purpose ❤️

Some couples come through our doors and become part of the Elkins Grove family forever. This sweet couple is one of those couples, and their story has touched our hearts deeply.

After the heartbreaking loss of their precious baby Blaze, they have turned their unimaginable grief into something beautiful by starting a foundation in their baby’s memory to help other families.

Because we believe in them, their mission, and the love behind it, we want to give back.

For a limited time, we are offering a special booking opportunity at Elkins Grove Wedding & Event Venue, and 100% of the proceeds from these bookings will be donated to their foundation. ❤️

And for couples who are able to pay their venue rental in full at the time of booking, we will offer an additional special discount as our way of making this opportunity even more meaningful.

You get to celebrate your love, save on your wedding venue, and at the same time help support a foundation created to honor a precious little life. 🕊️🤍

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to book your wedding, this is a booking that can make a difference far beyond your wedding day.

Message us for the special pricing and available dates.

🤍 The Blaze Strong Foundation

There’s something pretty special about a love story that started in first grade. I’ve shared this story before because it’s so sweet!! I can’t help it. 🥰

Chloe and Lindel have been best friends for years and on August 8th, they made it official. It was great to finally be at Wildflower Barn and I am still melting over the bridal portraits too… SO beautiful! 😍

Unfortunately, a perfectly timed summer shower blew up on us after the last portrait, changing their ceremony plans, but it still didn’t change the day. Chloe’s love of pink brought the prettiest 🩷pop🩷 of color to the reception hall, while Lindel’s blue added his own touch making it all fun and completely them. I already love how this gallery is turning out!

Chloe + Lindel, I’m so happy I got to document this chapter for you. 🩷 More to come!
