I recently had the pleasure of filming Art of the Table at the Columbia Club for the fourth consecutive year.  Organized by the Indiana chapter of the Association of Bridal Consultants as a benefit for the Betty Jackson Memorial Education Fund and American Cancer Society, this event featured astounding tablescapes by many of Indy’s most talented event designers.  It was truly a joy to hang out with so many talented friends who were table designers, fellow sponsors, committee members and volunteers.  Events like this make me so proud to be a member of ABC!

Maggie & Ben – 12.31.11

Maggie & Ben rang in the new year in style with a wedding ceremony at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, followed by a reception at the Conrad Indianapolis. This was no ordinary reception, as designer David Reilich and McNamara Florist‘s Alan Thompson, AIFD created a unique communal atmosphere highlighted by long never-ending tables lined with florals and candles. The Endless Summer Band kept the crowd going strong throughout the night, and then kicked it into an even higher gear after the midnight countdown. It was fun as always working with Amanda & Nate of Turtle Pond Photography, and big thanks to the Conrad’s Amanda Spicer for the last-minute referral!

Chelsea & Caleb – 12.30.11

A year after filming the wedding of Caleb’s sister Haylee, I had the pleasure of capturing Caleb & Chelsea’s wedding at Northview Christian Church in Danville, followed by their reception at the Washington Township Pavilion Center in Avon.  After the couple’s first meeting at the altar, we all headed to the Hendricks County Court House for some photos with Barry Lewis of BPL Images in the stunning atrium.  Then we returned to the church for their beautiful ceremony and a sparkler exit.  An Eiffel Tower structure added a touch of Paris to the pavilion, and Evan of DJs Direct kept the party in full swing, even as the happy couple stepped away for a few fun shots in the Happy Snaps Photobooth.
