Pamela & Sean were united in a romantic wedding service at the beautiful Sanctuary on Penn, followed by an intimate reception at Maggiano’s.  The Sanctuary is a full-service wedding venue has come a long way since I filmed the first wedding in the former church last summer, and it provided the perfect backdrop for this couple and their family & friends.  The reception was filled with lots of laughter, good food (no surprise), and memorable moments.  Special thanks to Brandon New for helping out, and thanks to photographer Sue Huffer for the last-minute referral.

Erin & Enrique were a very fun and energetic couple who tied the knot in one of downtown Indy’s newest (so new it’s not really open until 2012) and most unique venues, the Sanctuary on Penn.   Following the ceremony in the former church’s old sanctuary space, we went out for photos with the venue’s new owner, Captured Art Photography‘s Scott Wheeler.  Meanwhile, the guests mingled in the cocktail plaza while the main space was flipped into a nice reception setup.

David Boyce of Platinum DJ Productions pumped up the crowd with boxing announcer style introductions, and the energy never waned throughout the night.  My favorite moment was the first dance, which featured not one but two surprise song switches that showed off the couple’s considerable dancing abilities.  I was thrilled to be one of the few “outside” vendors to get an early inside preview of this unique full-service wedding venue, where brides have the flexibility of either having all of their wedding services arranged by the venue or bringing in outside vendors other than the caterer.  Best wishes to the Sanctuary on Penn as well as to Erin & Enrique!
