Classy Spring Wedding at Purdue University

Some weddings carry an extra layer of meaning, where every detail—every moment—feels deeply connected to the couple’s journey. Madisyn and Seth’s wedding at Purdue University was exactly that. Held in the stunning Purdue Memorial Union Ballroom, their day was an elegant and heartfelt celebration, made even more special by the people who surrounded them.

As a proud Purdue University alum, capturing weddings on campus always feels extra special. There’s something nostalgic about returning as a photographer, knowing firsthand the history and charm of each location. From the grand architecture of the Purdue Memorial Union to the hidden corners perfect for intimate portraits, I love using my knowledge of campus to give couples timeless photos in the best spots. Being a Boilermaker myself makes every Purdue wedding even more meaningful. Learn More about Amanda here.

Getting Ready at the Historic Union Club Hotel

The morning began in the Union Club Hotel, where both Madisyn and Seth got ready with their large bridal parties. Laughter and excitement filled the suites as final touches were made—buttoning dresses, adjusting ties, and sharing quiet moments before the day officially began. The energy in the rooms was a mix of anticipation and pure joy, setting the tone for the incredible day ahead.

A Ceremony Full of Meaning

As guests filled the Purdue Memorial Union Ballroom, the grand windows became the perfect backdrop for a ceremony filled with love and significance. One of the most touching moments of the day was Seth’s father officiating the wedding, making their vows even more personal. With over 300 family members and friends watching, Madisyn and Seth exchanged promises, sealing their commitment in a space that felt both grand and intimate.

Embracing the Rain & Finding the Perfect Moments

As an Indiana wedding photographer I know Spring weddings in the Midwest can be unpredictable, and this one was no exception. Rain came and went throughout the day, but Madisyn and Seth never let it dampen their spirits. Instead, they embraced the moment, finding dry pockets of time to step outside for portraits. Their flexibility allowed for some stunning images—raindrops on the pavement, soft overcast light, and the natural beauty of Purdue’s campus adding to the romantic feel of the day.

An Unforgettable Celebration

Once inside the reception, the ballroom transformed into an elegant celebration space. The sound of laughter, clinking glasses, and heartfelt toasts filled the air as guests enjoyed a night full of dancing, delicious food, and endless joy.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening was the sparkler exit. As the night came to a close, Madisyn and Seth stepped out into a tunnel of glowing lights, surrounded by the cheers of their closest friends and family. It was the perfect ending to a day that was equal parts elegant, emotional, and truly unforgettable.

Madisyn & Seth, your wedding was an absolute joy to witness. Your ability to embrace every moment—rain or shine—made the day all the more special. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, adventure, and countless moments just as magical as this one!
