This is the moment every couple dreams of: the ceremony has just ended, vows have been sealed with a kiss, and the world narrows to just the two of you. Here, in front of a white cross, the couple brought for their ceremony at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, Indiana, the bride and groom share their first embrace as husband and wife. Her embroidered veil drifts in the breeze, his arms pull her into a dip, and the weeping willows along the lake frame them in soft, golden light. As your wedding photographer, I know exactly how precious these seconds are.
This image isn’t just a photograph. It’s a vow. A celebration. A beginning. If you’re dreaming of a Coxhall Gardens wedding, we'll document it in a way that tells the love story of your perfect day.
