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.

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.

After a first meeting at the Renaissance Hotel, Kim & John enjoyed a fantastic wedding and reception at the Bridgewater Club.  Kim looked fabulous sporting makeup by Kiralee, and Anthony Wilson of On3 Photography was on hand to capture the first meeting as well as some fun shots around Carmel.  The ceremony was performed “in the round” by Dr. Scott Toussaint as the couple exchanged vows under a stunning floral chandelier created by designer Jim Holland.  Jim also helped transform the crystal-filled reception room alongside consultant Gloria Boyden (who referred this wedding to us), Evans Audio/Visual and the mother of the bride, who handled much of the amazing stationery and paper products herself.  I got to enjoy seeing Dave and Rae rock the Bridgewater for the second time in a month, while the guests hammed it up for Chad Franz and his Freezeframez photo booth.

Tracy and Jeff brought a laid-back attitude as well as a great sense of humor to their wedding day, which included a ceremony at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church and reception at the Bridgewater Club. Photographer Maya Laurent was right there (on a broken foot, no less) along with me for preparations at their home, their first meeting at the church, and some fun shots at the clubhouse. Consultant Leah McFarland of Eventfull Planning, who referred the couple to us, did a spectacular job throughout the day, with amazing decor by Sweet Pea Floral to work with. Dave & Rae rocked the house with their full band with an emphasis on 80’s rock music.
