Christy & Drew – 8.3.13

I had a wonderful time capturing Christy & Drew’s wedding day, from their lovely ceremony at Meridian Street United Methodist Church through a rousing reception at the JW Marriott. Photographer Rich Miller (who referred Christy & Drew to us) and I were able to capture some nice shots around the church prior to the ceremony, and it was a pleasure to finally work alongside Rich. The reception was a blast, starting with a cocktail hour featuring a stunning view of Victory Field, a cool Lucas Oil Stadium cake by Classic Cakes, a gorgeous candlelit reception amidst nice decor by Kathy’s Kloset, and culminating in many bodies crowding the dance floor as the Endless Summer Band kept everyone on their feet.

Gauravi & Amar – 9.2.12

Gauravi & Amar pulled out all the stops and put on an Indian wedding extravaganza for the ages at the JW Marriott. Our coverage started with a Friday ceremony at Gauravi’s family home, followed by a fun sangeet party at the JW. After a Saturday break, we began 18 hours of filming with prep coverage alongside Nathaniel Edmunds Photography and former IndyVisual bride Jen Nair of Passionate Peacock Event Planning at 6am on Sunday.

After a spirited baraat outside the hotel, the guests entered the White River Ballroom for the ceremony, where they were greeted by HMR Designs‘ jaw-dropping decor highlighted by three huge floral peacocks with endless orchid feathers. After the traditional ceremony and emotional vidai, Garrette & Amber joined the amazingness to help me capture the epic reception, including a surprise flash mob dance for the couple. By the end, all of us were exhausted but so happy to have worked for such a fun couple.

Anna & Matthew – 9.2.12

Anna & Matthew are a fun, hilarious couple who kept me in stitches throughout their ceremony and reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom.  After preparations and a first meeting at the JW Marriott, the couple spent the afternoon dodging raindrops for photos with Nathaniel Edmunds Photography before convening at the Roof to sign their ketubah.  I loved having the ceremony in the round, which gave us some great angles to work with.

The reception was full of infectious energy from their sprinting entrance into the ballroom through their two-lap sparkler exit & horse carriage sendoff.  The Endless Summer Band kept the crowd going throughout the night, and the room looked amazing as usual thanks to consultant Leslie Jones (who referred Anna & Matthew to us) and David Strohmeyer of The Empty Vase.

Leslie & Matthew – 9.4.11

When Leslie & Matthew first booked the new JW Marriott for their wedding & reception venue, they had to wear hard hats during their site visits as the construction continued.  The JW was more than ready for their wedding day, however, and what a day it was.  Following preparations with help from planner Leslie Jones (who referred this wedding to us) and a sweet first meeting, they took lots of family pictures with Nate & Tiffany of Nathaniel Edmunds Photography before heading into the ketubah signing.

After a beautiful ceremony under a stunning chuppah and a cocktail hour overlooking Victory Field, everyone made their way into the enormous Grand Ballroom as Tim Kelley‘s gorgeous decor and Endless Summer‘s music welcomed them.  My favorite moments of the evening were when Leslie’s father surprised her with a “Glee”-style mash-up created especially for their dance, and when Matthew fulfilled a promise to his cancer-surviving grandmother that they would one day dance together at his wedding.

Kimberly & Michael – 10.8.10

Kimberly and Michael had a touching ceremony at Carmel Lutheran Church, and a beautiful reception followed at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Between the ceremony and reception, we enjoyed getting shots of the bridal party around Monument Circle with photographers Nate and Tiffany of Nathaniel Edmunds Photography.

The Indiana Roof Ballroom looked amazing thanks to flowers by Enflora, and we loved the couple’s introduction at the reception. After everyone else was introduced from the usual entrance at the back of the room, Kim and Mike surprised their guests by being introduced on stage in front of an American flag to “Born in the U.S.A.” playing through the PA. This was certainly fitting since the groom’s signature catchphrase is “America.”

Guests had great time dancing to music by Dwanna and the Primetime Band and posing for pictures in the Freezeframez photo booth. Very special thanks to family friend of the couple as well as their wedding coordinator Kathy Ray of the JW Marriott for the referral.

Congratulations Kim and Mike!
