Caitlin & Preston exchanged vows at the beautiful St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Westfield before heading to the Indianapolis Museum of Art for an amazing reception. The Disney fairy tale-themed tables mixed in nicely with touches by Knox Flower Shop located in Frankfort, Indiana. The guests were entertained throughout the evening with dinner service by Nourish Cafe, a slideshow by Astra Creative, music by Lakeside Entertainment and a photo booth by Strike a Pose. We had the pleasure of filming Caitlin’s brother Andrew’s wedding a few years ago, so it was great to catch up with this wonderful family. Congratulations!

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!

Chrissy and Ryan exchanged vows at Central Presbyterian Church in Lafayette, Indiana before celebrating in style at the Purdue Memorial Union.  Prior to the ceremony, they enjoyed a romantic first look in the sanctuary, followed by photos with Studio Blue Photography‘s Sami Abu-Rumman.  After  the ceremony, a huge Purdue bus escorted the party around campus, moments before a “Boilermaker Special” train car ushered the wedding party into the South Ballroom.  The reception looked and sounded fantastic, courtesy of decor by Alley Flowers and music by The Music Factory‘s Brian Kearnaghan.  This was our fourth wedding for Ryan’s family and friends, so it was a joy to be surrounded by so many familiar faces celebrating Chrissy & Ryan’s big 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!

Courtney and Lyle enjoyed a beautiful wedding ceremony and terrific reception at the Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station. Courtney looked amazing thanks to our good friend Kiralee of EyeMAX Makeup. The ceremony included many beautiful Filipino traditions, including a coin exchange as well as veil and cord ceremonies.

Afterwards, we wandered around the station for some photos with Jeremy and Vickie while the Crowne Plaza staff (who referred Courtney and Lyle to us) and JP Parker Flowers flipped the Grand Hall for the reception. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the tunes played by DJ Dennis Furr, and I particularly enjoyed the delicious treats that Lyle’s mother Lilia sent home with me.

Congratulations Courtney and Lyle!

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!

Kyle and Caleb pulled out all the stops for their phenomenal wedding and reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The tears started flowing the night before as Kyle’s mother dedicated a serenade to her during the rehearsal dinner at The Capital Grille.

Photographer Jennifer Driscoll and I captured preparations with Karen Hall and Company the next day at the Conrad, followed by the couple’s first look and more photos outside the Scottish Rite. The ceremony in the south lounge had many unique touches, from the “time capsule” box enclosed with wine bottles and notes that Kyle and Caleb hammered shut, to the dove release during the grand exit.

Consultant Darcie Kornmeyer of Circle City Planners (who referred Kyle and Caleb to us) and Tiffany Mullen of Circle City Designers teamed up to transform the ballroom once again, with a huge assist from Thomas Caterers of Distinction, Evans Audio Visual and Westwood Paper Company. Chris Burger of Copper Moon Entertainment presided over the evening’s many highlights, kicked off by a surprise early first dance on the ballroom floor during the cocktail hour as their guests enjoyed the view from the mezzanine above.

Congratulations Kyle and Caleb!

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!
