The Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station provided the perfect yuletide backdrop for Corrina & Kamron’s holiday wedding & reception. The day started with prep coverage and a first look, followed by photos with Ian Borgerhoff (who referred Corrine & Kamron to us). The ceremony in the Grand Hall was filled with laughs and looked fantastic under a magnificent arch created by Circle City Designers. After a flawless room flip, the reception was a blast as well, with Lakeside Entertainment leading the way on the dance floor and Circle City Planners keeping the evening running smoothly. Corrina & Kamron’s big day was definitely a perfect way to cap off an amazing 2014.

Brooke & Jeff’s wedding day was breathtaking in every way, from the gorgeous ceremony at Broadway United Methodist Church through the stunning reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Following preparations at the Conrad Indianapolis, Brooke and Jeff exchanged a first look under the Roof’s marquee before heading to White River State Park for photos with Ian Borgerhoff. The ceremony was lovely and emotional, with Alan Thompson AIFD‘s massive floral arch greeting the guests at one end of the aisle and his towering arrangements providing an elegant backdrop for the altar. The reception decor was simply out of this world, highlighted by a cake collaboration between Alan & Classic Cakes that had to be seen to be believed. With Darcie and the Circle City Planners team overseeing the day, a wonderful time was had by all, especially once Dave and Rae took the stage.

No one will soon forget Kourtni & Mike’s wedding weekend at Blueberry Hill Estate in the beautiful rolling hills of Paoli, Indiana. From the rehearsal activities Friday night captured by Brandon through the concluding fireworks Saturday, the magic never let up. The hilltop ceremony was an unforgettable highlight, with Darcie and her team working hard to make it happen ahead of the approaching rain. The reception tent looked magnificent as well, and Jim Cerone was the perfect host to guide the guests through so many unique moments, my favorite of which was the singing of “Sweet Caroline” as a tribute to the memory of loved ones who were missed. Kudos to the rest of the amazing team of vendors for toughing out the extreme heat & driving rain to make this amazing day happen, including Circle City Planners, Ian Borgerhoff Photography (who referred Kourtni & Mike to us), Karen Hall and Company, Westwood Paper Company, Hoaglin Catering, Heavenly Sweets, Wow Factors and Evans Audio Visual.

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!

Angela & Chad are a stunning and very sweet couple who exchanged vows in a lovely Friday ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church before celebrating at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Though they didn’t see each other before the wedding, Josie of Crowe’s Eye Photography set up a cute moment where they got to hold hands and say “hi” to each other. Then after the ceremony, we hopped over to the Lockerbie area for some more shots before heading to the reception.
The ballroom looked fantastic, not surprising given the team behind it – Darcie of Circle City Planners (who along with the Scottish Rite referred Angela & Chad to us), Circle City Designers, Thomas Caterers, Classic Cakes and nice lighting by Brian Whitis. Mark Beecher of Grapevine Entertainment expertly presided over an amazing evening enjoyed by all, and after some candid shots in a Circle City Photobooth, we couldn’t say goodbye to this adorable couple without a few more nighttime shots outside.

Marissa & J.W. shared an elegant, music-filled ceremony at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church before celebrating during a high-energy reception at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Marissa looked amazing, and J.W. is simply one of the most free-spirited grooms I have ever met, which became clear when I had to dodge Nerf darts just to say hello to him. The ceremony included a large share of music beautifully sung by a choir that included many members I recognized from my own church.
Antique Limo brought the couple to the IMA, where we spent a good amount of time roaming the grounds of the IMA for photos with Turtle Pond Photography before heading into Deer Zink for a superb dinner by Kahn’s Catering. The decor by Circle City Designers was fabulous as usual, but one only had to look up to see the true focal point of the room – dozens of paper stars from India modified by Scott Evans into stunning lanterns. With the band Groove Essential leading the way, J.W. set the tone for the evening by twisting, turning and twirling Marissa to the point that they both ended up dizzy on the ground at the end of the first dance – seeing stars, of course. Kudos to Darcie Kornmeyer of Circle City Planners (who referred us) for coordinating such a memorable occasion to perfection.

Kyle and Caleb pulled out all the stops for their phenomenal wedding and reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The tears started flowing the night before as Kyle’s mother dedicated a serenade to her during the rehearsal dinner at The Capital Grille.
Photographer Jennifer Driscoll and I captured preparations with Karen Hall and Company the next day at the Conrad, followed by the couple’s first look and more photos outside the Scottish Rite. The ceremony in the south lounge had many unique touches, from the “time capsule” box enclosed with wine bottles and notes that Kyle and Caleb hammered shut, to the dove release during the grand exit.
Consultant Darcie Kornmeyer of Circle City Planners (who referred Kyle and Caleb to us) and Tiffany Mullen of Circle City Designers teamed up to transform the ballroom once again, with a huge assist from Thomas Caterers of Distinction, Evans Audio Visual and Westwood Paper Company. Chris Burger of Copper Moon Entertainment presided over the evening’s many highlights, kicked off by a surprise early first dance on the ballroom floor during the cocktail hour as their guests enjoyed the view from the mezzanine above.
Congratulations Kyle and Caleb!

Meaghan and Andrew had their wedding ceremony and reception at Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station. We started the day by filming their preparations as well as the adorable moment when they saw each other for the first time. Then, more photos followed with photographer Abby Veldman.
The Grand Hall looked amazing, featuring decor by Circle City Planners and Circle City Designers, a cake by A Slice of Heaven Cakery and lighting by DJ Brian Whitis. Everyone enjoyed the rest of the evening dancing to Brian’s music and posing in Troy Hill’s Clikz Photo Booth. Special thanks to Randi Neukam of Circle City Planners for the referral!
Cheers to you, Meaghan and Andrew!
