The Detail+Design team pulled out all the stops for Nicole & Aaron’s spectacular outdoor wedding at Chapel Square Street Park in WestClay, followed by one of the wildest receptions to hit D’Amore Indianapolis.  The vows were exchanged under a stunning chandelier provided by Evan Audio Visual as the pop culture-savvy officiant (and former IndyVisual groom) Scott Rudicel name-dropped Prince, The Beatles and Google within the first minute.  Photographer Hether Miles then followed the party to a few stops for some more photo ops while I headed downtown.

The fabulosity carried over to the reception, where Team D+D had several amazing setups awaiting the couple and their guests.  After an evening of formalities, great service by Thomas Caterers of Distinction, and music by Nicole & Aaron’s favorite blues band from St. Louis, the party was only beginning.  While some guests took advantage of the late night photo booth by Indy Photo Booths as well as our own “Confessionals” video booth, most stayed out on the dance floor as DJ Fred Lockette and percussionist Joe Meltdown tore up the afterparty until 2am.

Stefanie & Sean enjoyed a beautiful wedding day on the lovely Bloomington campus of Indiana University, starting with a ceremony at St. Paul Catholic Newman Center and concluding with a fantastic reception at the IU Auditorium.  Coverage started with preparations and a first look at the Biddle Hotel & Indiana Memorial Union.  After the ceremony, the bridal party hopped around campus for photos with Jennifer Cooney of Baby Grace Photography while Steamboat Willie and his New Orleans Jazz Band entertained the guests during the cocktail hour.  The banquet room looked amazing with the variety of looks provided by Artful Blooms, and the reception brought back some memories of being an IU student at a jam-packed party, with music by DJ Brett Anderson of The Dance Machine leading the way.

Hilary & Travis – 8.4.12

The Soldiers & Sailors Monument provided a majestic backdrop for Hilary & Travis’ ceremony on the first floor of the Columbia Club as well as their reception in the Crystal Terrace on the third floor.  It was hard not to smile at the start of the ceremony when a family friend sang “Today I Met the Boy I’m Gonna Marry” while Travis nervously awaited the entrance of his stunning bride.

After some photos on Monument Circle with Andrew Scalini, the action moved to the Crystal Terrace, where the guests enjoyed amazing service, a photo booth by Indy Photo Booths, and great live party music by Zanna-doo.  Consultant Leslie Jones (who referred Hilary & Travis to us) did a masterful job behind the scenes, and Tim Kelley of Palmer Kelley Designs filled the room with an ambiance that provided an elegant balance to the stunning chandeliers overhead.

Jordan & Kevin enjoyed a beautiful wedding at Concordia Lutheran Church, followed by a fun reception with their hilarious bridal party at the Indiana State Museum.  The day was filled with lots of creative touches, from the streamers & paper lanterns that greeted the guests at the ceremony to the bicycle that greeted them at the reception.  Following the ceremony, we all headed out with photographers Jim & Debbie Meyer of Meyer Studio for some great shots around downtown.  The reception looked amazing with the INDIANA statue hovering over Royal Creations‘ beautiful decor, and the crowd had a blast dancing to music provided by Kyle of Party Time Sound right up until the very end, when Jordan & Kevin rode off along the canal on a 4-wheel surrey bike.  Thanks to consultant Deborah Sheeran for doing a great job and referring this fun couple to us!

Lauren & Kevin are an adorable couple from two wonderful families who came together to enjoy a lovely ceremony & reception at the Renaissance Hotel. The day ran to perfection with the help of Alison Wenstrup and the rest of the Aviva Events team out of Cincinnati. The aisle and centerpieces by Enflora looked incredible, the elegant cake by Classic Cakes looked right at home under the chuppah, and the Phase 4 Band out of Chicago had the crowd rocking all night while Marty & Emily of Bello Romance Photography (who, along with the Renaissance, referred Lauren & Kevin to us) captured all of the fun.

I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple than Emily & Jamey to film on their extravagant wedding day at the Columbia Club.  With out of this world decor designed by one of my all-time favorite industry friends (thanks for the referral, “GB!”) and smashing music by Chicago band Orchestra 33, the whole day was a feast for the senses, beautifully captured by Megan W Photography.

Tissues were mandatory at Katie & Lance’s emotional wedding and reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.  After a sweet first meeting in the Tiler’s Room, we roamed around downtown for some shots with Nate & Cambrie of Nathaniel Edmunds Photography.  Then came the gorgeous ceremony in the theater, which Katie’s very pregnant twin sister was able to enjoy via iPad from the hospital.  She also delivered a pre-recorded toast during the reception while sitting (again via iPad) right by Katie’s side, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.  The room looked fantastic with huge black ostrich feather centerpieces by Bella’s Blooms, and the service by Thomas Caterers was sublime as usual.  And for the second consecutive night, I got to film a packed dance floor courtesy of Grapevine Entertainment.

Angela & Chad – 6.22.12

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.
