Just when I thought I’d seen it all, along came Sarah & Bill’s epic wedding day, starting with a ceremony at St. Mary Catholic Church and finishing in grand fashion at Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station. Following the ceremony, photographer Angel Canary and I captured some fun moments with the bridal party downtown, then headed to the Grand Hall, where a stunning display of eye candy awaited us. Planner Leslie Jones (who referred us to Sarah & Bill) combined table linens, flowers by Design Group, stationery by Pink Poppy Ink, cake by Classic Cakes and lighting by Evans Audio Visual/Wow Factors to create a spectacular gradient “ombre” effect from one end of the room to the other with the couple’s favorite colors. Wedding Entertainment Director Jim Cerone was on hand to ensure a packed dance floor and amazing party for all. But just in case the guests needed an extra chuckle, Angel’s photo booth included props from their favorite movie “Dumb and Dumber,” and even their hashtag #WeaverPartyOfTo” got in on the fun with “Dumb and Dumber To” opening the same weekend.

Our first wedding of 2014 took place at St. John Catholic Church downtown as Hilari & Kyle exchanged vows before celebrating in a winter wonderland at the Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion. Coverage started with the bride’s preparations at MDG salon|studio downtown as photographer Angel Canary and I captured the moments while planner Carlie Oakley (who referred Hilari & Kyle to us) and Posh Petals worked quickly behind the scenes to get the church ready for the ceremony. The reception looked simply stunning with white decor that perfectly complemented the clear view all around of the snowy landscape. Despite the cool wintry vibe, the party inside was perfectly warm and got even hotter once Dave & Rae hit the stage to rock the crowd.

There is no greater honor to me than being hired by an event industry peer to capture their special day, so I was genuinely thrilled when I got the call about filming Katie & Kemmon’s big day. I’ve come to know and adore Katie throughout her years with the Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station, and that’s where our coverage started, as the team from A Touch of Elegance helped get the couple ready for an emotional first meeting. In keeping with their balloon motif, Katie & Kemmon released two pairs of balloons into the sky, symbolizing their lost loved ones, before taking off for photos with Angel Canary.
After a beautiful ceremony at Our Lady of the Greenwood Catholic Church and a sweet visit to a memorial for Katie’s mother, everyone headed back to the Crowne Plaza’s Grand Hall for the reception, where a great team of vendor friends including Julie Acheson of Royal Creations, DJ Brian Whitis and Classic Cakes had a few surprises in store for their dear friends. Even I got into the act, surprising the couple with a same day edit that I had only decided to do earlier that day after being inspired by a huge window decal on Kemmon’s car as well as the balloon release.

Nimi & Rav’s epic wedding weekend culminated with a traditional Hindu ceremony at the Indiana State House, followed by a jam-packed evening of entertainment at the Hyatt Regency. Our coverage began on Saturday morning as the groom arrived in a very high-spirited baraat processional, with the majority of the two-hour ceremony taking place under an extravagant mandap provided by Mayil Mandaps filled with beautiful details and traditions.
The reception at the Hyatt commenced with a hour-long program filled with speeches, formalities, and plenty of dancing, including a cool interpretation of different stages of the couple’s courtship. The ballroom looked fantastic courtesy of decor by Bokay Florist with assists by Classic Cakes, LGI Linens and Evans Audio Visual among others. DJ Khiladi kept the crowd in a frenzy with expert mixing of Indian and western dance music, and photographer Angel Canary (who referred the couple to us) captured the fun through her candid coverage as well as her nicely constructed photo booth.
