Stephanie and Anthony had a lovely ceremony and a gorgeous reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Our day started alongside great friend and photographer, Angela Talley (who referred the couple to us), capturing the bride and groom getting ready, their first look and shots all around downtown Indy at locations that mean a lot to the couple. Kiralee and Irina from EyeMAX Makeup did a wonderful job on makeup and hair for the bridal party, as always.

The theatre and ballroom looked fabulous thanks to McNamara Florist, Evans Audio Visual (who also came through with the DJ last minute!), Classic Cakes, and of course, Thomas Caterers of Distinction provided the delicious food, including the unique rose sorbet. The fun-filled reception included the bride and groom doing lots of flips during dancing, and the groom even led his mom in a polka. Their Polish family tradition of putting an apron on the bride got all of the guests up and dancing around her, and guests stayed on their feet all night long.

Best wishes, Stephanie and Anthony! Thank you so much for having us capture your special day!

Cayla and Ben had a spectacular ceremony and reception at Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station! Wedding planners, Deborah and Cassie of A Touch of Elegance (who referred the couple to us), did an absolutely amazing job transforming the space with the help of Bokay Florist, A Classic Party Rental Company, Sweet Seductions and of course, the Crowne Plaza staff. Karen Hall & Company provided the awesome makeup and hair styles, and Erin Hession took fabulous photos of the stunning bride and groom.

Tony from Event One DJs kept the dance floor packed, and guests filled themselves with delicious sweets from the candy bar. The night ended with a sparkler exit, and a horse and carriage took the couple away as family and friends waved goodbye.

Best wishes always, Cayla and Ben! Thanks for letting us be a part of your unforgettable day!

Elena and Ryan enjoyed an elegant wedding ceremony at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church before celebrating with a surprise-filled reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Following the ceremony, the bridal party took off in a trolley for photos with Jamie Owens of J. Scott Photography at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

The reception setup looked fabulous thanks to the efforts of Royal Creations, Thomas Caterers of Distinction and Classic Cakes. Rick of DJs Direct kept the crowd going all night and helped execute the highlight of the evening to perfection, as Elena and her father “interrupted” their own father-daughter dance to surprise their guests with an epic Greek dance.

Congratulations Elena and Ryan!

Kali and Garrett got married at St. Mary Catholic Church, and they had an absolutely stunning reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. It was wonderful working with Jim of Meyer Photography while capturing all of the special moments between the bride and groom throughout the day.

The reception looked beautiful thanks to flowers by the Design Group and a cake by Classic Cakes. The Indy Express Band (who referred the couple to us!) entertained everyone and kept the dance floor packed! Congratulations Kali and Garrett! Best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness!

Jill and Cody had their wedding ceremony at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, and their reception followed at the Conrad. The couple saw each other for the first time in Sower’s Garden at the church before photos with Melody and Jeremy of Carpenter Photo & Design. After the ceremony, Jill and Cody exited the church as guests waved Texas flags (where the couple lives now).

The ballroom at the Conrad looked beautiful thanks to decor by JP Parker Flowers and a fabulous cake by Classic Cakes. The Cocktail Sax Band entertained the guests during cocktails, while Jon of Event One DJs rocked the reception. Deanna Boyce of Eventfull Planning did a great job of running the show, with help from new EP partner Laura Lim.

Best wishes to you always, Jill and Cody!

Sofy and Ian had a morning wedding ceremony at St. Mary Catholic Church, and their multicultural reception followed at the Skyline Club. Since the bride’s family is from Colombia and the groom’s family is from the Philippines, the couple incorporated both of their cultures in various ways throughout the day, including a coin exchange during the ceremony and a fun “hiding of the single guys’ shoes” under the bride’s dress as an extension of the garter toss at the reception. Another memorable moment from the reception was when Sofy said, “Even though we look different on the outside, the truth is that inside we look alike. We have many things in common. We’ve  shared many happy moments together, and we have common goals in life. That’s why we’ve decided to be together and celebrate our union in front of God.”

It was great working with Julie Curry of Julie Curry Photography for the first time. She snapped photos while I captured all the action on video. JP Parker Flowers provided the lovely floral decor, and Direct Contact Latin Jazz kept the guests dancing all night with Pavel Polanco-Safadit providing excellent emceeing. Special thanks to our client, Brock McMillan, for the referral.

Best wishes Sofy and Ian! It was a pleasure being a part of your special day!

A couple of weeks after their first wedding celebration in Thailand, Tun and Brent enjoyed another wedding and reception at Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station. We captured their first meeting and then lots of photos with Natalie and Tim of Twistedfrog Photography.

Tun and Brent had a very intimate ceremony by candlelight in one of the Grand Hall’s alcoves. Thai handcrafted candles were used instead of traditional placecards, and we loved how the Grand Hall started to light up as guests brought the candles to their seats for the reception.

Julie Acheson of Royal Creations, who provided the lovely floral decor, referred this beautiful couple to us. Jason Fritz of Pro-Sound Entertainment presided over the remainder of the evening’s festivities.

Congratulations Tun and Brent!

Becca and Dan’s rehearsal dinner at Maggiano’s was a casual affair celebrating not only their union the next day but also Becca’s birthday. On the wedding day at Carmel Lutheran Church, Kirsten Wray captured some particularly fun shots inside the sanctuary, with the holiday decor adding an extra festive flair. We especially loved Dan’s emotional reaction to seeing Becca walk down the aisle.

The reception followed at Marriott North, and the ballroom looked stunning thanks to decor by McNamara Florist. Wedding Entertainment Director, Jim Cerone, presided over the formalities and delivered one of the most packed dance floors from beginning to end that we’ve ever seen. (Thanks so much for the referral, Jim!)

All in all, this wedding was a fabulous way to end our 2010 shoots, and we wish Becca and Dan a lifetime of love and happiness. Cheers!

Charlotte and David had a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception at the Omni Severin Hotel. For this couple, the start of their vows said it all. “God has given us a second chance at happiness.”

It was so nice to see a ceremony in the original lobby, and we enjoyed capturing their first meeting on the staircase with photographers Stefanie and Brock of SB Childs Photography. The bride’s friend, Paula Buckhaulter, did a great job with coordination, and the flowers from Kathy’s Kloset were a lovely addition to the decor.

Congratulations Charlotte and David, and thanks for letting us capture your special day!

Kelsey and Peter’s ceremony took place on the first floor of the Columbia Club followed by a reception in the 10th Floor Ballroom. We started the day capturing the couple getting photos taken by photographer Kiera Dubach.

The flowers for the ceremony and reception were beautiful thanks to JP Parker Flowers. As always, guests enjoyed dancing to the music provided by Jim Cerone (thanks for the referral Jim!) and posing for fun pictures in the booth from Indy Photo Booths. The reception highlight was a beautiful serenade by the bride to the groom.

Best wishes Kelsey and Peter!
