Bayley and Logan’s elegant Sycamore Hills wedding in Fort Wayne unfolded like a fairy tale from beginning to end! It’s no wonder, especially if you’re acquainted with Bayley’s penchant for exquisite details—a trait we both share! Our connection was immediate as we delved into the intricacies of their special day. Getting to know both Bayley and Logan, from their engagement session to the meticulous planning of their wedding day, was an absolute delight for me at every turn! So when their wedding day arrived I was thrilled to celebrate with these two all day long!

Sycamore Hills is sits on a beautiful golf course down a tree lined drive in Fort Wayne. With a soft breeze in the air and a bright blue sky it seemed as though Bayley and Logan had the prettiest day of the year for their wedding day. Bayley spent the morning with her bridesmaids, wearing the cutest pink track suit I have ever seen. It was SO Bayley.

Family Matters


One of the most heartwarming aspects of Bayley and Logan’s special day was the beautiful way they incorporated their families into the celebration. Bayley’s dress adorned with delicate hearts crafted from the wedding dresses of the women in her family and presented by her amazing mother symbolized generations of love and tradition woven into her journey. Her sisters stood by her side as bridesmaids and she shared an emotional first look with her father. Logan’s choice to wear cufflinks passed down from his grandfather spoke volumes about the importance of family heritage and tradition. And Bayley’s radiant smile was complemented perfectly by the dazzling blue Manolo Blahnik shoes gifted to her by her sweet aunt, adding a touch of sentimentality to her ensemble. Witnessing these beautiful families come together to embrace, support, and celebrate Bayley and Logan was truly a remarkable.

Bayley wore a beaded gown with the most incredible train. A delicate veil was the perfect finishing touch. Her bridesmaids wore sequined black gowns that exuded sophistication and carried the most stunning white floral bouquets. Logan and his groomsmen looked sharp in their classic black suits and ties.

Following their sentimental ceremony, Bayley and Logan joined their own cocktail hour! This is one of my favorite ways I’ve seen couples be able to truly have it all on their wedding day. And of course they entered in style: on a golf cart, honoring Bayley’s family and their big love for all things golf!

The Reception

After that, it was time for dinner. Bayley and Logan’s reception was positively stunning. With gilded chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows, the ballroom at Sycamore Hills was enchanting. Ruby Moon Floral elevated the space even further with greenery and blissful blooms.

As dinner came a close we took the opportunity to whisk Bayley and Logan away for some sunset photos! Thankfully you don’t have to go far to find beautiful locations at Sycamore HIlls. As the sun sank lower in the sky, Bayley and Logan walked hand in hand back to their reception together.

Finally it was time to party! Logan twirled his bride as family and friends looked on and cheered. Everyone had an incredible time, it was the perfect evening! All in all it was a wonderful day celebrating a deserving couple.
