Grace & Graham – 10.4.14

Grace & Graham kicked off the fall season in style with a beautiful wedding at the Indiana Landmarks Center and IU homecoming-themed reception at the JW Marriott.  Coverage started at the JW with the couple’s preparations (I loved the scrapbook Grace made for her parents) and first look before heading out for some fun photos with Cassie Conforti.  Following a gorgeous ceremony at the Landmarks Center, we were greeted back at the JW by an absolutely stunning display of fall-themed floral splendor by The Empty Vase and overall design by planner Monica Richard of Mon Amie Events (who referred this wedding to us).  With an IU groom’s cake by Classic Cakes, personalized Pizza Express-style cups, Mother Bear’s late-night pizza snack, and an amazing party band in Rod Tuffcurls and the Bench Press that had the crowd rocking all night, I felt like I was right back on campus during homecoming surrounded by fun and friends.

Lauren & Evan’s wedding day at the Lucas Estate was every bit as epic and breathtaking as the venue itself, where I had not worked since filming a wedding and doing other projects for the Hilberts back in the day.  Photographer (and former IndyVisual groom) Zach Dobson and I captured Lauren & Evan’s preparations in the pool house and sports complex respectively, while planner Leslie Jones (who referred this wedding to us) and designer Alan Thompson, AIFD worked behind the scenes to get the courtyard ready for the stunning ceremony.  The reception rocked courtesy of an amazing setup by Wow Factors/Evans Audio Visual, another fabulous cake creation by Classic Cakes, and awesome live music by the Wendy Reed Band.

Kelly & Brock enjoyed an elegant wedding ceremony at the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church, followed by an awesome reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.  Our coverage began during preparations in Kelly’s spacious bridal suite at the Omni Severin, followed by an emotional first look with Brock by Union Station.  After the ceremony, we headed around downtown alongside photographer Anya Albonetti for more shots, highlighted by an impromptu photo bomb and performance by the Purdue Marching Band.

The reception decor courtesy of Royal Creations was fantastic, the service by Thomas Caterers was first-class as always, and the cake by Classic Cakes was superb.  Live music by The Flying Toasters and an after-party by DJ Lockstar guaranteed a great time by all, and Eventfull Planning (led by Teresa, who referred this wedding to us) was there throughout the whole planning process to ensure an amazing, perfectly executed day.

Brooke & Jeff’s wedding day was breathtaking in every way, from the gorgeous ceremony at Broadway United Methodist Church through the stunning reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom.  Following preparations at the Conrad Indianapolis, Brooke and Jeff exchanged a first look under the Roof’s marquee before heading to White River State Park for photos with Ian Borgerhoff.  The ceremony was lovely and emotional, with Alan Thompson AIFD‘s massive floral arch greeting the guests at one end of the aisle and his towering arrangements providing an elegant backdrop for the altar.  The reception decor was simply out of this world, highlighted by a cake collaboration between Alan & Classic Cakes that had to be seen to be believed.  With Darcie and the Circle City Planners team overseeing the day, a wonderful time was had by all, especially once Dave and Rae took the stage.

Kelsey & David enjoyed a classically elegant wedding day, from their stunningly decorated ceremony at Second Presbyterian Church through their amazing reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom.  The ceremony was filled with many unique touches, from the children’s choir to the massive wall of floral splendor on the altar by Enflora.  The eye candy continued into the reception, where the guests were greeted into the room by a cool guitar groom’s cake by Classic Cakes, foreshadowing the fun that would be had the remainder of the evening courtesy of AMS Entertainment.  With Mon Amie Events (who referred Kelsey & David to us) overseeing every last detail and my great friends at Nathaniel Edmunds Photography shooting alongside me, Kelsey & David’s wedding day could not have been any more perfect.

Lauren & Tom – 6.14.14

Lauren & Tom’s storybook wedding day took place on her grandparents’ farm property in Franklin, and what a day it was!  After capturing their preparations and first look alongside photographer Jennifer Driscoll, we had fun exploring the many beautiful corners of the property throughout the day for photos.  The ceremony amid the trees was right out of a movie, with cool details like “Mimi’s lemonade” greeting the guests, wedding programs by Pink Poppy Ink printed onto brown bags containing rose petals to throw, and a towering fabric backdrop pointing up to the sky.

The tented reception featured more amazing decor & details provided by A Classic Party Rental, The Empty Vase, Wow Factors, Thomas Caterers & Classic Cakes among others.  But it was the magical moments between Lauren & Tom that made the night, from their spirited dancing with music provided by Colby Beserra & The Party Faithful through their fireworks surprise for their guests.  Overseeing all this spectacle was Monica Richard of Mon Amie Events, who referred this unforgettable event to us.

Sara & Curtis enjoyed a blast of a wedding day with a ceremony at St. Barnabus Catholic Church followed by a lively reception at D’Amore Indianapolis.  After preparations with JW Salon and Makeup by Sparkle, a sweet first look in the Hilton Garden Inn lobby, and a few quick shots on monument Circle with photographer Jessica Strickland, we headed to the same church where we filmed Curtis’ sister Kristen’s wedding just last fall for their beautiful ceremony.

After some more photos around White River State Park, we all settled into D’Amore, where planner Monica Richard (who referred Sara & Curtis to us), The Empty Vase, Wow Factors, Pomp & Polish and the rest of the design team created a vibrant, sparkly atmosphere accentuated by the setting sun.  Dinner & dessert by Thomas Caterers and Classic Cakes was amazing as usual, and Wedding Entertainment Director Jim Cerone kept the energetic crowd on its feet all night.

Shelby & Brian’s wedding day took place on the amazing private Nashville, Indiana property owned by Brian’s family, affectionately named Serenity Lake Lodge.  After capturing preparations in the house and the couple’s first meeting on their lakeside dock alongside photographer Jessica Strickland, we moved into the stunningly decorated barn for a short but sweet ceremony.  Then the action moved to a tent by the house for dinner, featuring gorgeous tables created by Wow Factors, out of this world centerpieces by Bella’s Blooms and Hoaglin Catering‘s usual delectable service.

Meanwhile, the Mon Amie Events team (who referred this event to us) flipped the barn to reveal a dramatic new look sculpted by Evans Audio Visual‘s lighting design and a surprise by the groom courtesy of Classic Cakes.  Minutes later, Brian’s father surprised the crowd by playing a song on one of the grand pianos that he had written for the groom’s mother after their first date.  DJ Krista Lee took it from there, rocking the crowd into the night.

Hollace & Ryan enjoyed a beautiful wedding day with a ceremony and reception at the JW Marriott.  The ceremony included a sweet sand ceremony as the couple and Ryan’s two daughters symbolized the blending of their families.  After some photo time with Jennifer Driscoll, Wedding Entertainment Director Jim Cerone (who along with the JW Marriott referred Hollace & Ryan to us) presided over a fun reception that included lovely decor by JP Parker Flowers, delicious dessert by Classic Cakes, and lots of smiles with Indy Photo Booths.

Tracey & Travis – 11.16.13

Tracey & Travis’ epic wedding day at the Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station was quite the day to remember. From preparations behind the scenes with Beauty by Crystal to a tearful first look on the Grand Hall mezzanine and photos with Jamie Sangar, the couple looked fabulous. The ceremony decor by Royal Creations was simply stunning, and I especially loved the way the parents were integrated into the wedding. The reception was a total blast, from the lively music by My Yellow Rickshaw through Tracey & Travis’ spontaneous decision to cancel the horse carriage and take their guests bar-hopping instead. Of course, it will be impossible for me to think of this day without being inspired by the way Jamie fought through an illness early to do an amazing job, what photographer Jessica Strickland went through to be able to eventually fill in for Jamie, and the positive, encouraging attitude that this incredible couple kept through it all. Clients and vendors like these are the very reason I love what I do!
