Jacqui and Devin accidentally matched on a dating app, and their first date was over Memorial Day weekend at Four Day Ray in Fishers, Indiana. Jacqui works as a Sales Assistant at The Barrington of Carmel, where she loves helping seniors feel at home and learning about their pasts. Devin works for UPS in Plainfield and plans to start learning computer coding. Both Jacqui and Devin enjoy staying busy and having fun with friends and family, who are incredibly important to them besides each other and their two wiener dogs, Paco and Frank.
As their relationship grew and their love deepened, Devin decided it was time to propose. He orchestrated a perfect day at a winery, gathering Jacqui’s best friend, her husband, Devin’s brother, and his fiancée to join them. Devin seized the moment when they all suggested taking pictures out in the field. He got down on one knee and asked Jacqui to marry him. She couldn’t believe that!
"The things I love about Devin are that he can make me belly laugh, he is incredibly thoughtful, we love to learn together, and he always tries to remain in the present with me!"
Location & Photography
The couple hosted their wedding at The Bottleworks Hotel, a stunning venue designed in an industrial, mid-century style that seamlessly blends with modern aesthetics. The hotel is situated in the historic Bottleworks District, a hub for commerce, history, and the arts. It was here that they became engaged, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the district they both loved. The location was perfect for Jacqui and Devin, who love staying busy and sharing fun moments with friends and family.
The couple chose Adam and Becca to be the photographers for their special day. Their objective was to immortalize moments. The couple’s vision came to life through the natural and graceful photos, which beautifully highlighted Divin, Jacqui, and the guests’ joyful emotions.
“It was exciting for us to return to The Bottleworks Hotel for their wedding day since we had also done their engagement session there. The venue offers an amazing space for photos with indoor spaces available and Hollywood glam-style vibes outside of the hotel."
Bridal Morning
For her wedding day, Jacqui chose a simple yet elegant off-the-shoulder dress that highlighted her natural beauty. The long veil and pearl-strapped pumps added a vintage charm, perfectly aligning with Jacqui’s vision for her bridal look.
When the bridesmaids saw Jacqui for the first time, their hearts swelled with emotion, and they couldn’t help but be moved by how stunning their dearest friend looked in her elegant wedding dress.
Groom's Getting Ready
The groom chose a classic black suit, elegantly adorned with a crisp white shirt and a boutonniere that matched the wedding’s floral theme. Adding a playful twist to his look, he wore patterned socks, bringing a touch of youthful carelessness to his appearance. This detail reflected his fun-loving nature and added a charming touch. Devin’s friends joined him to share this special moment.
First Look

The couple took their time in an intimate corner of the venue to share their heartfelt letters and vows. In this private moment, they promised to love each other forever, their words filled with excitement for their future together.
"As photographers, our goal is to capture timeless and candid moments. The love and joy that Jacqui and Devin shared on their wedding day was exactly what we strive to capture in our wedding galleries."

Reception
After the ceremony, the staff at The Bottleworks Hotel seamlessly transformed the ceremony space into a stunning reception area during the lovely indoor cocktail hour.
The round tables were covered with crisp white tablecloths, providing a clean, neutral backdrop that highlighted the floral arrangements and gold accents. Vibrant, fresh centerpieces featured a mix of roses and carnations in shades of coral, peach, and white, accented with greenery, creating an eye-catching focal point. String lights were strung overhead, giving the space a warm and inviting glow. The minimalistic decorations allowed the venue’s natural light and clean design to stand out.
Jacqui and Devin love traditions and were excited about the cake-cutting. The cake, decorated with peach and coral roses, reflected their simple and elegant style. Holding the knife together, they made the first slice, smiling and laughing.
There was also a sweet table where guests could indulge in beautifully arranged cupcakes with frosting in chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet.
Following tradition, the newly married couple shared their first dance as husband and wife. Holding each other close, they moved gracefully to the music, lost in the moment of their love. As the evening progressed, the bride gracefully tossed her bouquet into the air, a symbol of hope and anticipation for the next bride-to-be.
