Jennifer & Ryan – 7.31.10

Jennifer and Ryan’s wedding ceremony took place at First Baptist Church followed by a lovely reception at the Columbia Club.

Coverage started earlier that day at the Columbia Club where the bride and groom got ready to see each other for the first time, followed by some fun photos with Jennifer Driscoll on Monument Circle.

The ceremony was a more family-oriented affair, with the pastor’s wife joining him for part of the service. Jennifer and Ryan’s parents also joined the couple in prayer before their first kiss.

The Columbia Club looked fantastic thanks to consultant Leslie Jones and designer Jim Holland. (Thanks for the referral, Leslie!) The Wendy Reed Band rocked the house as usual. Loved Ryan’s traditional popping of the champagne and the spontaneous chair dance.

Haylee & Kyle – 7.30.10

Redefining the term “last-minute,” I got booked for Haylee & Kyle’s wedding in Coatesville literally the morning of the event.  Due to the ceremony being on the family’s property, I was expecting a backyard type of event and was blown away when I saw the enchanting setting.  The guests walked around a pond, through a bright red covered bridge and down a path in the woods into a clearing with hundreds of white chairs accented with peacock feather decor.  Befitting the storybook setting, the beautiful bride entered the ceremony via horse-drawn carriage.

The fun reception took place at the Dixie Chopper Conference Center in Greencastle, and it took me a few minutes to figure out that we were inside a hangar – very cool.  I loved the use of the “Cupid Shuffle” as the bridal party dance song.  Photographer Marchelle Mosley was a joy to work with as well.

Ashley & John – 7.24.10

Sometimes last-minute bookings are the most fun. Ashley & John had attended a wedding a weekend or two before their own and realized they wanted to preserve the memories of their big day on video. After a cute first-look and lovely ceremony at Plainfield Christian Church, they headed downtown for photos on Monument Circle with Sara & Mallary Photography.

The reception took place at the Conrad, whose ballroom was decked out in stunning fashion with orchids provided by Hilltop Orchids. The formalities were highlighted by a surprise “first dance” arranged for John’s parents, who were not able to enjoy a first dance at their own wedding nearly 40 years ago. The great band Living Proof (whose agent Lisa Sauce of Blonde Entertainment referred this event to us) took it from there, and the guests enjoyed singing into the clever “microphones” made from mixing spoons by one of the bridesmaids.
