Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.

Meyer’s Castle is such a hidden gem—you’d never expect to find a place like this in the Midwest! I’ve had the chance to shoot two weddings here, and both times were such a dream. The venue itself is stunning and feels like a little escape from the everyday. But what really makes it stand out is the team. The staff is always so kind and helpful, especially Kate—not just with the couples, but with us vendors too, which honestly makes the day run so much smoother. I can’t wait for the next time I get to come back and create more magic within those castle walls. Forever a fan of this place.

Kim calls herself an honorary bridesmaid but she is so much more. She is a florist, a seamstress, a miracle worker and a friend to everyone she meets. I had a vision for my wedding day and Kim executed it flawlessly. She not only made the day run smoothly, but set up all of my favors, stationery and even the bud vases she made exactly how I pictured it! We had some fashion emergencies and Kim literally saved the day by sowing on straps to make a dress that wouldn’t zip finally close. I cannot rave about Kim enough!! We got endless compliments about our day and it would have been impossible without her. Kim is worth every single penny and then some.

Hello Rose Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Fair Oaks, IN

Hi there! I'm Emily Rose, behind Hello Rose Photography. I have been shooting weddings for a decade and love connecting with my clients as much as I love photographing them! They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the smirk you share with your spouse at the altar and the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have a lot to say here so let me do a TLDR: if you’re here reading this review it likely means photography is important to you. And if that is true, please just book Emily (Hello Rose Photography) because it should be illegal how amazing she is. Send the message as soon as you possibly can. Like right now. Please. The long version: Emily is an INSANELY AMAZING photographer. Color, posing, vibe, attitude, patience, EVERYTHING. Photography was on my top 3 non negotiable list for me, truly the most important thing next to having our dog at our wedding. Leading up to our wedding, I would randomly see her photos and be like ‘omg those are beyond gorgeous I hope my photos look like that’ and then I’d notice it WAS HER. Validation I never knew I needed. If you’re on the fence, just do it. She’s the kindest, gentlest soul and it truly put us at such ease. And she meshed so well with our quirky sense of humor. She also had the patience of a saint with our high energy doggo and capture the actual cutest photos of her. She captured love I’ve never seen between us (it’s hard when you’re looking at your person but it’s even harder for someone to be good enough to capture it). Her candids are literally the best I’ve ever seen. Of me and my dog, me and my friends, my husband and his friends, idk she’s just INSANELY GOOD. I love candids, if you’re a candid person WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. I promise, I will bet everything on it, you will absolutely not regret spending a single penny on Emily. Honestly, she should charge more. We also had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of working with Bridgid on our wedding day. She complimented Emily so well and truly, I didn’t feel like we had 2 photographers they were so supportive and in tune with each other. Bridgid also found us funny and loved our doggo too. She even threw her the tennis ball. These ladies work so well together that I truly could not tell you who took which photo. SEAMLESS. I truly missed their presence, outside of photography, when they left for the day. These angels probably still don’t know the impact they had on us but one day I hope they see this review and know how important they were (and are) to our day.

He stuck to our playlist perfectly and kept the dance floor alive until the last minute! Stephen was also amazing with the photobooth; he allowed us to use our own backdrop, helped customize the design, & even provided a photo guestbook on the day of (which saved us when we accidentally forgot ours!). He also sent all the digital photobooth photos to us right away and our guests LOVED them.

This is one of the best examples of how to run an event planning business. She gave me a wide range of options to stay within my budget and below. Everything was in a timely fashion, and she didn't make me feel pressure to get anything more than I needed. But even with helping me stay where I needed to be price wise, it looked phenomenal. I didn't feel like anything as cheapened, in fact it was the opposite. I was really impressed and I will be having sugar on the rim events for any and all upcoming events I might have. Everything was just gorgeous and I really felt listened to. She got exactly what I needed. I personally think the being listened to was the most important part of this, as it's all stressful enough.

The day of our wedding Renee made sure my sister and I were taken cared of and we only we did what we wanted to not what others wanted. Trey did a fantastic job with our decor for our Harry Potter theme wedding. He brought to life our vision in the best way and made it better. If I could do this all over again I would go back to Aberdeen their team gives such great support and helped us with everything along the way. If we had a question they always got back to our emails or calls.

I've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Megan went above and beyond for my wedding! Even when little details would change for the wedding, she was always willing to accommodate and made everything seem effortless! She is such a down to earth, genuine person and she made my husband Eddie and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I loved when she would hype me up after she took an amazing shot! She made me feel beautiful in all of my wedding pictures, and my husband and I will always use her as our photographer!

Hey! I'm Ashley, a laid-back photographer who's been capturing memories for five years. I’m all about making clients feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. I love metalcore, punk, and alternative music, and when I’m not shooting, I’m probably playing video games or reading romance novels. At home, I’m soaking up time with my husband, our son, and our sassy dachshund. Photography’s always been my favorite gig there’s just something magical about turning real, raw moments into lasting memories.

Ashley Gann Media LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They communicated very well throughout the entire process, always responding promptly to our questions and making sure we felt confident and prepared. The quality of their work was absolutely amazing - Ashley captured every single moment of our special day and was present for each one, ensuring she didn't miss a thing.

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I love to create… I’m in my happy place when I’m able to create. My career in floral design started while I was still in college obtaining a business degree. Like a lot of college students, I spent my summer interning in an office environment…and quickly realized that wasn’t how I wanted to live my life. I needed something different, something that would allow me to more fully utilize my creativity and desire to design. When I returned to campus in the fall, I started working part time at a small floral shop. It wasn’t long before I knew I’d found my love and my passion.

We used Lori for our wedding and I’m so glad we did! After our initial meeting to go over my ideas, she created this beautiful vision board / proposal combo complete with inspiration pictures, our color palette, and different arrangement options we could choose from. That made me feel so confident that she got my vision too and that we would end up loving the final product on our big day. The day of the wedding, the florals were absolutely beautiful and she took care of full set up and then tear down at the end of the evening. I got many compliments on my bouquet throughout the evening, and overall couldn’t be happier with the florals and services Lori provided!

Mar is truly a magician when it comes to makeup! She exceeded all my expectations for my bridal look, making me feel not only beautiful but incredibly confident on my special day. She perfectly captured the vision I had in mind, enhancing my natural features while ensuring I still felt like myself. My husband was absolutely in love with the look—he couldn’t stop complimenting me! Mar’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm energy made the whole experience even more special. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for flawless, long-lasting, and stunning makeup! Thank you so so much Mar!
