A Beautiful Day Full of Love and Cheer

A Sweet & Simple Outdoor Wedding at Ross Camp A Frame | Makayla + Noah


As a Lafayette Indiana luxury wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of documenting celebrations in stunning venues across the state—but there’s something so refreshing about a simple outdoor wedding that keeps things grounded in what really matters. Makayla and Noah’s wedding at Ross Camp A Frame in West Lafayette was exactly that: heartfelt, peaceful, and full of love.

A Quiet Forest Setting for a Joyful Day

Nestled among the trees, Ross Camp A Frame offers a rustic charm with a quaint balcony that feels like a hidden escape just outside Lafayette. The couple exchanged vows outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and a soft breeze that made every moment feel ethereal. Their ceremony was intimate, emotional, and centered on their deep connection—no distractions, just the magic of nature and their closest loved ones.

Effortless Beauty in the Details

Though their wedding was intentionally simple, Makayla and Noah brought thoughtful touches that elevated the experience. From Makayla’s flowing gown to the hand-made bouquets with added touches of ferns throughout, every element reflected their personalities and values. The décor was understated and elegant—wooden accents, neutral florals, and cozy gathering spaces created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and romantic.

Golden Hour Portraits Among the Pines

One of my favorite moments as their photographer came during golden hour. We captured their portraits in front of the pond and path beside the A Frame, where the light filtered perfectly through the trees. Makayla and Noah were radiant—relaxed, laughing, fully in the moment. These portraits captured not just how they looked, but who they are: joyful, kind, and totally in love.

Why I Love Outdoor Weddings at Ross Camp

It allows couples to create a meaningful celebration without needing over-the-top details. Nature does most of the decorating—and all you need is love (and maybe a great sunset).
