Elegant Daniel’s Vineyard Wedding in McCordsville, IN

September 24, 2025

Golden hour bride and groom portraits from a Daniel's Vineyard wedding in Indiana

Sierra and Zach’s Daniel’s Vineyard wedding was the kind of summer day you don’t forget. These two put so much intention into the details, and it showed. Sierra’s dress was absolutely stunning, the floral arches framed their ceremony beautifully, and even the umbrellas added a touch of elegance while keeping guests comfortable. Between the winery’s charm inside and the rows of vines outside, their portraits had that timeless-meets-effortless vibe that felt so them.

The Details, Getting Ready, & First Looks

The morning kicked off with so many sweet details that felt perfectly Sierra and Zach. From the romantic florals to the invitation suite and little touches they chose, everything was thoughtful and personal. Sierra got ready in the bridal lounge with her girls, slipping into the most stunning lace gown. Zach looked classic in his black tux and bowtie, getting ready separately so they could save that first big moment for later.

And those first looks did not disappoint! Sierra shared a reveal with her bridal party that had everyone smiling, followed by emotional moments with both of her parents. Zach spent time with a few close family and friends before it was finally their turn. Their first look was full of so much emotion. Afterwards they slipped away to the balcony overlooking the vines, where they shared private vows.

Outdoor Wedding Party Photos at Daniel’s Vineyard

Out in the vineyard, the wedding party looked absolutely incredible. The bridesmaids wore champagne gowns that shimmered in the sunlight, and the groomsmen kept it timeless in sharp black tuxes. Surrounded by the vines and wide-open skies, this crew brought so much personality to their portraits. From the laughter to the cheers, you could just tell how much love they had for Sierra and Zach.

Outdoor Daniel’s Vineyard Wedding Ceremony on The Ceremony Pad

The Ceremony Pad at Daniel’s Vineyard was the perfect place for Sierra and Zach to tie the knot. Tucked beside the vines, the space felt private and romantic while still giving those wide-open vineyard views. Their aisle was lined with white chairs and elegant umbrellas that kept guests cool, all leading up to a floral arch that framed it all beautifully.

The ceremony itself was full of emotion. Zach’s reaction as Sierra walked down the aisle with her dad, to the way their families and friends surrounded them with love was everything! Every detail felt intentional and elevated, yet still so them. And when they were finally announced as husband and wife, you could feel all of the happiness from them as they walked back down the aisle together.

Golden Hour Bride & Groom Portraits at Daniel’s Vineyard

After their “I do’s,” we snuck these two away for portraits, and wow, this vineyard gave us everything! From the dramatic doors inside to the golden hour light out in the vines. Every single spot felt like it was made for them. I love when couples trust me to play with locations, because it lets us capture a mix of those timeless, romantic shots and the fun, candid moments that show off their personalities.

They laughed, they twirled, and they leaned into each other. The vineyard backdrop just made it all that much better. These are the kind of portraits that feel true to who they are. They were stylish, happy, and completely wrapped up in the magic of the day (and those just married feelings!)

Elegant Daniel’s Vineyard Wedding Reception in The Upper Ballroom

Just like every other part of their day, Sierra and Zach’s Daniel’s Vineyard wedding reception in the Upper Ballroom was just as stunning. The second these two walked in, the energy was electric! The space had just the right mix of modern and cozy with white brick walls, romantic candlelit tables, and room for everyone to crowd the dance floor.

And let me tell you, their people came ready to party! From emotional toasts to the kind of dance moves you’ll be laughing about for years, the night was packed with SO many good moments. The photo booth was a hit, the drinks were flowing, and the smiles on these two never left their faces. It was the perfect way to wrap up a day that already felt unforgettable!
