Chris and Caitlin’s July wedding was originally scheduled for May of 2020, but like so many couples this year it was delayed due to a global pandemic. The wedding photos might look a little different with guests in masks, but the celebration was still the same.
The chosen venue for this beautiful wedding day was The Hobson located in downtown Kokomo, Indiana. Built in 1893, it once housed the Kokomo City Building. The venue’s third story is now home to a stunning two-story ballroom that can accommodate up to 175 guests. It features large windows and stunning getting ready suites for both the bride and groom.
Chris and Caitlin chose not to see each other before the ceremony but Caitlin did have a first look with her dad. There is no doubt that this bride has a very special relationship with her father, they even had a secret handshake.
Chris started to cry before Caitlin even walked down the aisle.
After the ceremony we captured the couple’s portraits outside The Hobson.
The couple dated all through high school and college. They love Disney World and going to concerts. This couple is incredibly playful in their interactions with each other. They are clearly so much fun, it made sense when Chris and Caitlin made their grand entrance to the reception by performing The Git Up.
Gonna do the two step… 
and cowboy boogie… 
Grab your sweetheart and spin around.
The bride’s sister was the maid of honor. She shared the story of how the couple met during her toast to the newlywed husband and wife giving single men everywhere hope by letting them know that sliding up in DM’s does occasionally work.
Chris and Caitlin chose cupcakes in multiple flavors from Indulgence Bakery in Kokomo for their wedding day celebration. They also added a small cake so that they could have their traditional “cut the cake” moment. Some couples delicately feed each other their first bite of cake, this couple not so delicately smashed it into each other’s faces.
First dance was to When You Look Me in the Eyes by The Jonas Brothers. The dancing didn’t stop there, the bride and her bridesmaids performed the dance to the Hoedown Throwdown by Hannah Montana while wearing face masks.
The night ended with a gorgeous sparkler exit outside the glass arch that is the entrance to the venue.
Chris and Caitlin are kind and gracious people surrounded by lovely families. They are clearly loved by all in attendance. We wish them a lifetime of love and adventure.
Some amazing vendors also made this day happen. The Hobson provided the venue and day of coordination. The dress came from Nancy’s Bridal Boutique. Nameless Catering provided dinner. The cake and cupcakes were made by Indulgence Bakery, and DJ Connection brought the dance party.
