Your wedding day and special events.
Your family legacy captured in portraits.
Your first photos with your perfect new baby.
Your story is uniquely yours. These are all some of life’s biggest moments, and they deserve to be remembered, to be heirlooms as the years pass by. Memories of the excitement of new love to nostalgia of days gone by.
The best way to create those photos, the ones you’ll hold on to and look back on, is to make sure you’re in the moment, you’re having fun. You’re moving and dancing and cuddling and kissing! When you book a photo session with me, that’s exactly what I do! Genuinely getting to know you.
Most importantly though, I want you to know that no detail or memory too small, all moments worthy of being unforgettable. The photos that we create together are for you - whatever that looks like.

INDIANA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - a never ending love story
Hey there! I’m Hiedi!
[spelled i before e]
I grew up in suburban Indiana most of my life, and the other parts near 38th St. You see, my family owned a Vietnamese restaurant - have you heard of Saigon Restaurant? Vietnamese was the primary language in my household and how thankful am I to be bilingual - even at the moments where I'm the unpaid translator for my mom and the cable company! It definitely is pretty useful to have in my back pocket when I'm documenting tea ceremonies to talk to all the aunts and uncles.
I loved growing up in the restaurant life, and the nostalgia it brought with it. I loved the way my Grandma carefully stirred her Pho broth, a tribute to her culture and her way of passing traditions on to us. The kitchen I grew up in and the thousands of meals my family prepared in it were a never-ending love story to times gone by and the culture they grew up in. Even when I was a child, I knew I wanted to tell a story as important as theirs. I just had to find it.
It started in high school when my journalism teacher selected me as the yearbook photographer. That was all it took! From that moment, I found myself photographing everything I could, from sports to fashion, portraits to headshots… I even became VP of marketing for Ball State’s panhellenic council and public relations chair for my sorority, Phi Mu, to stay close to my camera! But photographing weddings and families – photographing those epic, unassuming, pure kinds of love – was what really stole my heart.
There are so many things I love about photographing weddings – from the chance to photograph different cultural traditions to the opportunity to travel to incredible places. But most of all, I love that my job means I get to adventure with you, whether that’s driving six hours for your engagement shoot, or meeting up a few years after your wedding to capture your growing family, and all the things in-between.
It turns out, the never-ending love story I most am inspired by is yours!
Now, it’s your turn! Let’s get to know each other!
