Grace + James at Avon Gardens

Avon Gardens is a super beautiful spot in Avon, Indiana, just west of Indianapolis. Lots of lush green, a pond, brick paved paths, and lots of little places to make photos and enjoy yourself. In the evening they lite candles throughout the gardens and everything really glowed with warmth.

Grace and James had an incredibly lovely wedding filled with family and friends at Avon Gardens. From sun filled photos in the green gardens to romantic candle light in the evening - the whole day was very photogenic. Everyone looked stunning - I’m so happy to share some of these photos here!!

You’ll see a mix of film, and digital. We got to make some portraits early in the day before the ceremony, for a few minutes at golden hour, and we got to make some evening photos with the fairy lights.

I also got to make photos with Grace and James the year before for their engagement! You can see a few of those here if you want.
