Linda & Greg – 9.1.13

Being hired by fellow event industry professionals is the highest honor I could receive, so I was excited when Greg Imboden of the Indy Express Band gave me a call about his & Linda’s wedding day. The ceremony at Faith Presbyterian Church was filled with nice musical touches, especially the bride’s entrance to their song “When I Fall in Love.” I had a blast afterwards with photographer Amanda DeBusk as we captured some nice moments around Fort Harrison. The reception at the Fort Harrison State Park Inn was an affair to remember, with a very melodic cake by Classic Cakes setting a tone at the entrance. With pianist/vocalist Dave Lowe leading the way, Greg and his musician friends provided wonderful music for their guests throughout the evening, with my favorite moment being Greg’s jam session with his two talented sons.

Katie & Marc – 8.31.13

Katie & Marc’s wedding & reception at The Alexander was a great way to kick off a busy Labor Day weekend. From their preparations through their first look and photos around this amazing property, it was a joy as always to work alongside Tiffany & Nate of Nathaniel Edmunds Photography (who referred Katie & Marc to us). When the weather was refusing to cooperate, Maxie Haber and her Alexander staff did a phenomenal job of improvising the timing and order of the ceremony & cocktail hour to make it eventually work inside the ballroom, where Posh Petals‘ decor looked simply fabulous. I loved so many things about the reception, including Tiffany & Maxie joining the hora, the family gift presentation that had me ready to duck, and the superb club DJ/live band mash-up that Marc affectionately calls “Sleepy Floyd and the Indy Local Musician Alliance.”

Erin & JP’s beautiful wedding day at the Eiteljorg Museum could not have been more perfect.  After opening each other’s thoughtful gifts (what groom wouldn’t want a duffle bag full of candy?), they shared a tender first meeting while photographer Ryan Woodall and I captured the moment.  The ceremony in the Circle Garden was beautiful, with flowers by Posh Petals, music by Jim Cerone (who referred Erin & JP to us), and an aloha-accented message by officiant Scott Rudicel for their Hawaiian guests.

After cocktails by the canal, everyone headed up to the ballroom for an amazing evening highlighted by Kahn’s Catering‘s flawless service, a hilarious speech by the best man and a tearful father-daughter dance, while coordinator Christine Kingery worked hard behind the scenes to help keep the day running smoothly.

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.

Brandon filmed a gorgeous, tradition-filled wedding and reception for Sylvia & Chris at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.  The ceremony featured tasteful decor by the Shadeland Flower Shop as well as many lovely moments in the Greek Orthodox tradition, my favorite of which is the crowning of the bride and groom.  Following some photo time with Marty Seppala, everyone gathered back at the church for a lively, dance-filled party presided over by Track Seven DJs and led by this very fun, unforgettable couple.

Tasha & Stephen exchanged vows at St. John Catholic Church, followed by a fun reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Coverage started with preparations at the Hyatt Regency with EyeMAX Makeup, highlighted by Tasha’s traditional pre-wedding toast with her parents and two sisters, whose previous weddings we also filmed. After the ceremony at St. John’s, Nathaniel Edmunds Photography and I headed out for some fun photo ops around downtown before settling in at the Scottish Rite. The reception in the ballroom was a blast, featuring superb service by Thomas Caterers of Distinction, elegant decor by Kathy’s Kloset, divine cake by Heavenly Sweets, rockin’ music by Track Seven DJs, and lots of memories shared with many former clients in this fun crowd.

Andrea & Patrick – 7.19.13

Andrea & Patrick brought plenty of international flavor (in every sense of the word) to their wedding and reception at The Alexander. From their emotional first meeting captured by Vrai Photography amid the hotel’s stunning artwork through the fun, breezy ceremony, their affection for each other translated clearly to their guests from all over the world. Though for those who needed a little guidance, Pomp & Polish‘s brilliantly designed multilingual program spelled the action out in all languages.

It was at their reception in Market Table that they truly got to show their international colors, through their multi-lingual speeches, two very different Classic Cakes, energetic & eclectic music by Cathy Morris & DJ Krista Lee, and especially the mouth-watering variety of tapas style creations by the ingenious Alexander staff, topped off by favors and a champagne bar featuring Sage’s Simple Syrups. Making all this awesomeness happen within just a couple of months was planner Monica Richard of Mon Amie Events, who thankfully brought me on board this out-of-this-world ride.

Krystal and Courtney enjoyed a perfect storybook wedding day at the Scottish Rite Cathedral with lots of amazing surprises for their guests. Krystal looked radiant as she arrived, fresh from her transformation by Karen Hall & Co. After an emotional first meeting with Courtney, photographer Jessica Strickland and videographer Heather Brogden captured some photos & footage while I got to work on creating a same-day edit video to surprise everyone with later. The ceremony was lovely, with beautiful live music provided by R&B artist Cupid.

The ballroom was simply stunning thanks to the efforts of Darcie Kornmeyer of Circle City Planners (who referred us), Circle City Designers, Thomas Caterers, Classic Cakes and Evans Audio Visual among others. Shortly after their first dance, we surprised the guests with the showing of the Same Day Edit, featuring highlights of the day right up through that first dance, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. The other big surprise was the ubiquitous “Cupid Shuffle” performed live by Cupid himself, before DJ Indiana Jones closed the deal on an unforgettable night. Thanks to an amazing vendor team for making the impossible possible!

Videographer Brandon New did a great job capturing Liz & Brice’s big day, from their wedding at Christ Church Cathedral on Monument Circle to their huge celebration at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Liz enjoyed a sweet first look with her dad before the ceremony, and the music during the wedding was highlighted by an amazing choir right alongside the cameras in the balcony. The ballroom at the Roof looked simply gorgeous with flowers by McNamara Florist and a cake by Classic Cakes, and the always-awesome Zanna-doo rocked the guests all night long, with a little help onstage at one point by Liz & Brice along with a few little party starters. Thanks to photographer Shane Rodimel & the Leslie Jones Weddings team for being great to work with, and huge thanks to the Indiana Roof Ballroom for the referral!
