Lauren and Matt’s wedding was everything you could want from a summer celebration — golden light, bold sunset colors, and a party that didn’t stop until the last song played. Hosted at Villa Caesar in Schererville, Indiana, their day was a perfect mix of elegance, laughter, and all-out fun. As a Cincinnati wedding photographer who offers free travel to Northwest Indiana (NWI), I was thrilled to capture every moment of this vibrant celebration.

A Love Story in Sunset Colors
Lauren and Matt embraced the season’s golden beauty with a wedding palette inspired by summer sunsets. Think glowing golds, deep corals, and soft blush tones, all of which popped beautifully against Villa Caesar’s classic, elegant backdrop. From the bouquets to the reception lighting, every detail radiated warmth.
A Stunning Venue in Schererville
Villa Caesar is a gem in Northwest Indiana — spacious, elegant, and perfect for couples who want a mix of sophistication and comfort. It offered plenty of room for Lauren & Matt’s lively guest list and was the perfect place to dance the night away. The ballroom’s soft lighting added romance to every moment, while the outdoor spaces provided a great spot for guests to mingle before dinner.

Portraits at Centennial Park in Munster
Before heading into the reception, we made a stop at Centennial Park in Munster for portraits. The golden hour light was pure magic, casting a warm glow over the lake and wildflowers. It was the perfect complement to their sunset-inspired color palette — every frame felt like a painting.
A Reception Full of Fun
Lauren & Matt’s guests came ready to celebrate, and the dance floor stayed packed all night long. From high-energy group dances to sweet slow songs, the joy in the room was contagious. And because no summer wedding is complete without something a little sweet, the night ended with a s’mores truck parked outside. Guests gathered around, roasting marshmallows and laughing under the stars — the perfect ending to a perfect day.
Why I Photograph Both Cincinnati & Northwest Indiana Weddings
While Cincinnati is home, I visit Northwest Indiana often to spend time with family, so I happily travel to NWI at no additional cost for wedding days. This means you can book a photographer you love without worrying about travel fees — whether your celebration is in downtown Cincinnati, Schererville, Munster, or anywhere in between.
