French Lick Luxury Wedding | Editorial Wedding Photographer Giving Direction for Magazine-Worthy Images

If you’re looking for a luxury wedding photographer who helps you pose, gives clear direction, and delivers editorial, magazine-quality images—you’re in the right place. I don’t just show up with a camera. I walk you through every pose, every detail, and every in-between moment so you feel confident, look radiant, and get a gallery full of timeless, intentional images.

This French Lick, Indiana wedding was the definition of classic elegance. The bride and groom got ready at the historic French Lick Hotel, a venue known for its refined charm and tasteful views. From the moment I stepped into their suite, I knew this day was going to be special. The groom wore a sharp black tux—timeless, polished, and sophisticated—while the bridesmaids wore mismatched blue and floral dresses that added just the right amount of personality to the palette.

The sun was absolutely perfect that day—bright, warm, and glowing—which gave every photo a light-filled, joyful feel. Every moment felt like it was straight out of a magazine. But it wasn’t just about the beauty—this wedding was deeply emotional.

One of my favorite moments? Using the bride’s grandpa’s vintage car (yes, the same grandpa she FaceTimed) for their couple’s portraits. Those images are breathtaking, and knowing he’ll always be part of those memories for generations to come… it gives me chills.

The groom hugging his grandma? I was behind the camera crying. The bride FaceTiming her grandfather who couldn’t attend? More tears. And if that wasn’t enough, the couple wrote handwritten letters to every single guest. Yes—every guest. The thoughtfulness had everyone talking and set the tone for an incredibly intentional and heartfelt day.

The ceremony was held on the famous Pete Dye Golf Course, a stunning location that elevated the entire experience with its views and serenity. Every detail, every emotion, every sunset-lit portrait felt aligned with who this couple is: genuine, graceful, and overflowing with love.

Photographing this wedding didn’t just fill my creative cup—it changed me. I’m still obsessed with this couple, their story, and the art we created together.
