Lezley & Kyle – 9.24.11

Despite a rainy forecast, Lezley & Kyle enjoyed a perfectly beautiful day for their wedding & reception at the Montage on Allison Pointe.  The reverse layout of the wedding pavilion area gave the ceremony a real garden feel, with stunning decor throughout by Julie Acheson of Royal Creations.  Lezley’s adorable dog Layla made a very cute “Dog of Honor” for the ceremony.  The reception inside was a blast for everyone, highlighted by Kahn’s Catering‘s amazing service (thanks to Joe Husar for the referral!), the Endless Summer Band‘s great party tunes, photographer Braden Jones‘ “photo booth,” the most thorough face-smashing of wedding cake I’ve ever witnessed and a sweet thank you favor for the guests.

Marissa & J.W. – 9.17.11

Marissa & J.W. shared an elegant, music-filled ceremony at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church before celebrating during a high-energy reception at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  Marissa looked amazing, and J.W. is simply one of the most free-spirited grooms I have ever met, which became clear when I had to dodge Nerf darts just to say hello to him.  The ceremony included a large share of music beautifully sung by a choir that included many members I recognized from my own church.

Antique Limo brought the couple to the IMA, where we spent a good amount of time roaming the grounds of the IMA for photos with Turtle Pond Photography before heading into Deer Zink for a superb dinner by Kahn’s Catering.  The decor by Circle City Designers was fabulous as usual, but one only had to look up to see the true focal point of the room – dozens of paper stars from India modified by Scott Evans into stunning lanterns.  With the band Groove Essential leading the way, J.W. set the tone for the evening by twisting, turning and twirling Marissa to the point that they both ended up dizzy on the ground at the end of the first dance – seeing stars, of course.  Kudos to Darcie Kornmeyer of Circle City Planners (who referred us) for coordinating such a memorable occasion to perfection.

Rania and Jeff celebrated their wedding day at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Although the weather that day was dreary, it didn’t dampen their spirits in the slightest. The warm feeling of love surrounded the beautiful couple as we captured their “first look” and bridal party photos with talented photographer Kiera Dubach.

Since the couple met on the tennis court, some fun touches included pictures taken with tennis rackets and a groom’s cake in the shape of a tennis ball.

The ceremony and reception went flawlessly thanks to fabulous coordination by A Touch of Elegance, and all of the florals from Palmer Kelley were just stunning. Kahn’s Catering provided an unbelievable array of delicious food, and Mike Degler of SDI Sound kept the tunes spinning and the dance floor full.

Thanks to Hope Oaks for the referral, and thanks to Rania and Jeff for inviting us to capture your special day. Best wishes to you always.

Tammy & Brian – 8.14.10

Tammy and Brian got married on a hot day in August at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. To keep their guests comfortable for the outdoor ceremony, the couple provided sunglasses, fans and lemonade. The groom even custom-built the cute lemonade stand, which made for a picture-perfect photo op with photographer, Jessica Strickland.

Teresa Gift and Leah McFarland of Eventfull Planning and Palm Court Design did an amazing job with all of the decor, including the balloons leading to the ceremony site, the benches scattered among the guests’ chairs and the beautiful florals. Everything provided such a lovely setting for the ceremony, which incorporated touching speeches from family members.

Jim Cerone hosted the reception and provided all of his personal touches before and after the delicious dinner prepared by Kahn’s Catering. Heavenly Sweets made a cake to look like the bride’s dress, and both the cake and the dress were stunning! Indy Photo Booths supplied crowd-pleasing entertainment with fun photos, and the couple provided popcorn as a late night snack. Congratulations to Tammy and Brian, and thanks for letting us capture your special day!

Lauren & Val’s enjoyed an intimate wedding in the chapel of Meridian Street United Methodist Church, followed by a fun reception at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  Val and the guys started the day with some competitive soccer at Sports of All Sorts, and I was in the perfect spot to capture one of the groom’s goals. After the ceremony, everyone hopped on a trolley as we headed out to the IMA and dodged the rain for some photos with Morgan Matters.  The Deer Zink Pavilion was beautifully decorated by Circle City Designers, and Kahn’s Catering (who referred this wedding to us) provided their usual outstanding service throughout the evening. Wes Adkins of Event One DJs had no trouble keeping the dance floor packed despite the smaller crowd.
