Kevin and Leila were actually married one year ago on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. They decided on a casual elopement with only Kevin’s sister and her fiance present. They wanted to celebrate with all of their friends and family in Indianapolis a year later by repeating their vows to each other and holding a reception to celebrate. For the couple that loves beautiful views and adventure, Rick’s Cafe Boatyard was the perfect location to celebrate their marriage with loved ones. The stunning lake views were perfect even on a snowy March day.

I loved getting to witness Kevin and Leila’s love throughout the day. The sweet interactions, tears, and emotional moments made this wedding day so beautiful to witness and photograph. It’s getting to photograph wedding days like this one that make me realize just how important my job as a wedding photographer is. I love getting to document love.

Even through all of the snow on Saturday as well as the global pandemic that we are going through right now, nothing couple stop this sweet couple and their friends and family from celebrating their love on such a pretty snowy day on the lake.

Kevin and Leila, you two are amazing! Congratulations on your beautiful marriage and wedding day. It was SUCH an honor to get to be your wedding photographer. I can’t wait to finish editing your full wedding gallery. In the mean time, enjoy these sneak peaks!
