Didi & Fabian celebrated their union in spectacular fashion with a wedding ceremony at St. John Catholic Church followed by a lively reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, who referred this wedding to us. I captured footage of Didi’s preparations at the Omni Severin along with planner April Stegeman and Kevin Monahan Photography, while Brandon captured some moments with Fabian at the Hyatt Regency before taking over for the ceremony. The reception was a sight to behold, with lovely decor by Bokay Florist, an elegant cake by Classic Cakes, and a roomful of guests dressed in colorful traditional Igbo Nigerian attire.

Maggie & Steven exchanged vows in a Judeo-Christian ceremony under a gorgeous chuppah at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, and then celebrated with friends & family at the Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station. After a first meeting and exchange of gifts under the chuppah, they headed outside for photos with Nathaniel Edmunds Photography and then signed a ketubah, while A Touch of Elegance worked behind the scenes to set the stage for a beautiful wedding with combined traditions.
The reception featured many unique touches, and the Grand Hall looked fantastic with classically elegant decor by Bokay Florist and a towering cake by Heavenly Sweets. Wedding Entertainment Director Jim Cerone presided over the evening’s events, culminating in a “flashy” grand exit by horse carriage. It was a blast working with many of my favorite vendor friends, and big thanks to Meredith Gradle for referring your super-sweet sister & new brother-in-law to us!

Jessica & Marcus tied the knot (literally) in an elegant wedding ceremony and enjoyed a dance-filled reception at the Columbia Club. Coverage started with preparations in the bride’s room, the couple’s first meeting on the first floor, a few bars on the Hoagy Carmichael piano by the super-talented bride, and photo time with Erin Hession and her team. Then the ground floor ceremony incorporated unique touches like handfasting (i.e., tying the knot) and a wine box filled with love letters to be opened in five years.
The reception in the 10th floor ballroom featured some amazing dance moves by the bride & groom, who met each other through their mutual love for ballroom dancing, while the Cool City Swing Band provided the classy tunes. The room looked lovely courtesy of Bokay Florists, and the team from A Touch of Elegance provided exactly that and so much more to the entire day.

Leah & Justin were on top of the world (or Indiana, anyway) for their gorgeous ceremony & reception at D’Amore Indianapolis. Coverage started with preparations and a first meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn followed by photos around downtown with Jennifer Driscoll, who along with D’Amore referred this sweet couple to us. Then came the ceremony with the stunning skyline view, highlighted by readings consisting entirely of “chick flick” quotes. The reception was a feast for the senses courtesy of decor by Bokay Florist, service by Thomas Caterers of Distinction and music by The Impalas, along with a gorgeous sunset and a surprise golf-themed birthday cake for Leah’s dad thrown in for good measure.

Shelli & Thomas experienced an epic wedding weekend including a spectacular ceremony and reception at the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library downtown. Coverage started with a quick rehearsal followed by dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. On the big day, I arrived in time to capture the preparations as Karen Hall worked her magic, while Deborah & Cassie of A Touch of Elegance (who referred the couple to us) scrambled behind the scenes to make sure all the amazing details were in place. After some photos with Jamie Sangar, it was time for the beautiful ceremony, which included a cool sand ceremony symbolically blending their sizable families into one.
The reception decor in the atrium was simply stunning, highlighted by Bokay Florist‘s amazing creations, Sweet Seductions‘ towering cake and Evans Audio-Visual‘s moody lighting among many other details. After an amazing meal with outstanding service by Compass, DJ Eric Shannon kept the party rocking until the very end. Big thanks to Brandon New for capturing some sweet footage throughout, and for helping me surprise the couple with a same-day edit.

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.

Cayla and Ben had a spectacular ceremony and reception at Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station! Wedding planners, Deborah and Cassie of A Touch of Elegance (who referred the couple to us), did an absolutely amazing job transforming the space with the help of Bokay Florist, A Classic Party Rental Company, Sweet Seductions and of course, the Crowne Plaza staff. Karen Hall & Company provided the awesome makeup and hair styles, and Erin Hession took fabulous photos of the stunning bride and groom.
Tony from Event One DJs kept the dance floor packed, and guests filled themselves with delicious sweets from the candy bar. The night ended with a sparkler exit, and a horse and carriage took the couple away as family and friends waved goodbye.
Best wishes always, Cayla and Ben! Thanks for letting us be a part of your unforgettable day!
