Fort Wayne, Indiana

Fort Wayne, in pictures.

New photography from Fort Wayne: its rivers, parks, streets, and old buildings, shot on location around the city. New sets are added as they are shot and edited.

First Fort Wayne set shot Sunday, October 25, 2026. Photos posted here as the edit is finished.

New work

This is the main focus of this site. Every new set is Fort Wayne work, shot by Joel Cochran. Start with the first set below.

The first Fort Wayne set is being shot today, Sunday, October 25. It covers four subjects. The finished photos will fill this section first.

Downtown

The Allen County Courthouse, the skyline, and the old storefronts on Calhoun and Wayne Streets.

The rivers

Promenade Park, Headwaters Park, and the St. Marys River at sunset.

Fall color

Lakeside Park, Foster Park, and the tree lined streets in the south and west of the city, at peak fall color.

Old Fort Wayne

The Old Fort, historic homes, and the brick and stone details that make this city look like itself.

Old work: weddings

Before Fort Wayne Photos, Joel owned South Bend Media, a wedding photography business he ran from 2012 to 2016. This is a selection of the best shots from those years, cleaned up and shown without the old watermarks. It is background, not the focus. The new Fort Wayne work above comes first.

The best South Bend Media shots are being selected and cleaned up now. They will appear in this section as soon as that work is done.
