The holiday season was kicked off in style with Abby & Anatoli’s winter wonderland wedding at Christ Church Cathedral and the Columbia Club, with the newly-lit “World’s Largest Christmas Tree” towering over the proceedings.  I arrived at the club just as Karen Hall & Company were putting the finishing touches on the beautiful bride, and then joined Nathaniel Edmunds Photography as the couple greeted each other in the lobby and headed outside for photos.  Following the wedding, Monument Circle formed a panoramic backdrop for the reception in the Crystal Terrace, which was beautifully decorated by The Empty Vase along with a cake by Taylor’s Bakery.  After a few formalities including the traditional Russian bread and salt ceremony, Jim Cerone‘s music led the way for a fun evening of celebration.

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!

I had eagerly been anticipating Brittany & Carter’s wedding day for quite a while, and their ceremony at Christ Church Cathedral and reception at the Skyline Club did not disappoint.  We gathered first for preparations at the Canterbury Hotel, where Kiralee of EyeMAX Makeup touched Brittany up while Carter was opening a surprise gift from the bride with some sexy boudoir pics.  After an emotional first meeting in the lobby, we walked around downtown with Tiffany and Nate of Nathaniel Edmunds Photography for some more shots.

After a lovely ceremony, we walked right across the street to Monument Circle for some more shots while Tonya Shadoan of Circle City Planners (who referred Brittany & Carter to me) put the finishing touches on the Skyline Club with some outstanding decor by Circle City Designers and Evan Audio Visual.  DJ Brian Whitis took over from there, keeping the guests glued to the dance floor with the city’s best view as the sun set over the beautiful downtown skyline.
