Downtown Summer Fort Wayne Wedding

September 24, 2024

Halle and Brad’s downtown summer Fort Wayne wedding was stunning, relaxed, and energetic all at once! I loved the colors and details of this summer wedding, and Halle and Brad are such a sweet couple. Keep scrolling because you do NOT want to miss it!

The Details, Getting Ready, and First Looks at The Bradley Hotel

The morning was spent with both Halle and Brad getting ready separately at The Bradley Hotel—a stunning favorite among most visitors to the city! Their rooms offered gorgeous views of Fort Wayne, and the details were simply perfect! I loved Halle and her bridesmaids’ matching pajama sets as they got ready for the day.

Halle and Brad chose not to do a first look. Halle did do a first look with both her bridesmaids and with her father, which was the sweetest moment to witness!

An Indoor Fort Wayne Wedding Ceremony

After getting ready and first looks, it was time for Halle and Brad’s indoor wedding ceremony. Brad’s reaction to seeing Halle walk down the aisle for the first time was absolutely THE SWEETEST!! It’s the kind of emotion every bride dreams of!

Wedding Party & Bride and Groom Portraits

After the ceremony, we stepped out onto the venue’s covered outdoor patio for full wedding party portraits. I absolutely loved the entire color scheme of Halle and Brad’s wedding day! Halle’s bridesmaids wore beautiful champagne bridesmaids dresses paired with summer wedding bouquets by Rhinestone and Roses. The bouquets added the perfect pop of color, while Brad and his groomsmen kept it classic in black suits.

Unfortunately, the weather on Halle and Brad’s day wasn’t super favorable but they trusted me to handle the last-minute decisions, and I truly love how their portraits turned out!

An Indoor Downtown Fort Wayne Wedding Reception

After portraits, we headed into the reception. The décor was beautiful, with floating candles, table numbers featuring Halle and Brad’s engagement photos (which I was so honored to take!), and an assortment of their favorite treats for guests, including Sour Skittles and M&M’s!

Halle and Brad made a grand entrance with a beautiful first dance, followed by heartfelt speeches from Halle’s father and other guests. Like many of my couples, Halle and Brad knew how to have a great time, and their Fort Wayne wedding reception was full of dancing and fun! It was truly an honor to capture Halle and Brad’s downtown Fort Wayne wedding!
