Emily and Peter’s Romantic Hoosier Grove Wedding

Jun 18

We first connected with Emily years ago when her daughters Jenna and Natalie were little, she came by with the girls and Lindsay and I took some sweet summer photos with watermelons in my backyard. Since then it has been a joy to watch Jenna and Natalie grow up and occasionally run into Emily around town. We were excited to know that Emily met someone when we first heard about Peter. As their relationship grew so too did their family and in May of 2022 they welcomed their son Jayden. Lindsay was so happy to catch up with Emily and her girls at Jayden’s newborn session and it has been a joy to be connected with this wonderful family since then!

When Emily and Peter decided to make things official we were honored to be asked to photograph their wedding. Conrad and I loved getting to know little Jayden at their pre-wedding meeting and were so excited to meet everyone at Hoosier Grove Barn for the big day! Emily and Peter collected dozens of Azul Tequila bottles to use as vases and decor for the barn, the beautiful space looked so festive and inviting for their celebration! We met with Emily and her girls upstairs at Hoosier Grove where everyone was buzzing with excitement, it was so special to see Jenna and Natalie again looking so gorgeous in their navy bridesmaids’ dresses. Little Jayden joined us upstairs for some hugs with Mom and looking beyond adorable in his little suit.

Peter fought back tears and held Jayden tight as Emily walked down the aisle. Emily’s colleague Katie from Flaherty Jeweler’s served as their officiant and did a wonderful job presiding over their romantic ceremony. The most touching moment was when Peter made time to share special vows for his new official daughters, he even had rings for Jenna and Natalie that he gave them as he promised to always love them as his own. The emotion in that moment was something that we will never forget.

After the ceremony we took lots of fun photos with the whole Ramirez family, including some swoon-worthy shots of the newlyweds. Then it was time to head inside for tacos and fun celebrating the newlyweds! This was such a lovely day, we were truly honored to be a part of it!
