Laid-back & family-focused
Sofia and Devon are as laid-back as you can get. Relaxed, care-free and genuinely happy to be wherever they are doing whatever they’re doing. And their wedding day felt exactly like that, like them.
But the fun started before the wedding day.
We received a text from Sofia a few weeks before the wedding saying she had a surprise for us.
Kayla and I both giddily awaited the message.
She was pregnant. Woot!
Sofia and Devon were so excited to be parents, they knew they were getting married, and they just didn’t want to have to wait any longer. So they didn’t! And now Sofia and Devon get to be the most wonderful parents. Parenthood is our greatest joy and gift and we are THRILLED for them to get to experience it too.
A week before the wedding, Sof texted Kayla that they wanted to announce before the wedding, so we took them out to do a few early maternity photos that they could share with their people before the wedding and share the good news.
Sofia didn’t want a bunch of photos of her wedding day details. She didn’t want any photos of the getting ready process. When we asked if she’d like photos of her dress (a gorgeous, ornately detailed stunner) she just kind of shrugged her shoulders and said, “Eh, mom might. But I’m good.” We took a few for mom, lol.
The important thing was her, Devon, her friends, and her family. So that was our focus. And it made for a really wonderful day.
We got Sofia in her dress, and brought her down to the Solarium for first looks with her bridesmaids, her dad, and Devon. Sidenote: The Solarium continues to be my favorite room to photograph in all of Indiana. Just stunning.
After loads of happy squeals and tears from the ‘maids, I took a few individual portraits of Sofia while Kayla fetched dad.
Her Dad wore the same tuxedo he wore when he got married, a killer black and white number with a white jacket. Sofia knew he’d be emotional, and he was.
“If you don’t cry when you see your daughter on her wedding day for the first time, what are you even doing!?” This man couldn’t be more proud of his daughter, and he made it wonderfully clear all day long.
After a moment with dad, it was Devon’s turn, who was equally as excited to see her. After snapping some photos, we gave them a few minutes to themselves and then grabbed their wedding party for some more fun.
