Anissa and Brian…such a cool couple. We were very excited to shoot our first wedding in Dayton, Ohio…especially considering they had selected such a unique venue at the Schuster Center for both their ceremony and reception. Nate had a great time with the wedding party shooting around the market district. And, everyone made the day super fun.

We wish Anissa and Brian great success in their future triathlons and soccer games       . Congratulations!

Check back in a few days for their wedding album design. Enjoy!

These two couldn’t imagine meeting their future spouse in an art elective theater class at Purdue…but it happened! Skip forward several years…after a full mass at Immaculate Heart of Mary, the celebration of their marriage continued at Sheraton City Centre.

Liz and John are sincere and we couldn’t have enjoyed working with them more. They just look like they fit. While Liz is relaxed and independent, John is motivated and entertaining.  We wish them a safe return from their honeymoon through Europe…England, France, and Italy.

Jill and Kevin decided to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on a grand scale yet with an intimate group of friends and family. Their destination…Maui, Hawaii. Their setting…the Grand Wailea Resort. Their collective group…thirty-four. Their celebration…a deep, respectful love.

We were thrilled to finally meet Jill and Kevin, and certainly be witnesses to a truly joyous occasion. Their week was perfectly coordinated by wedding planner, Rebecca Raymond of Event Fantastic. In between a lot of relaxation, there was an event planned for the guests each day, whether it was a snorkeling excursion to Molokini, a traditional Luau, a shopping excursion to Lahaina, or a lunch at the famous Mama’s Fish House. The grand finale was the vow renewal and reception which was absolutely breathtaking.

One of the most unique aspects to this event was the branding that was artistically created by Rebecca and the uber-talented Kate Berglund of KB Design. They were able to tie each event together in a magical way with very invitation, menu, place card, bag tag, water bottle, fan, etc.

Sara is one of those brides that thought of and created nearly everything on her own…from the custom-made coloring books for all of the children at the wedding, to the ‘all green’ candy bar, to the confetti boxes they were sprayed with in their grand exit from the church. Their print pieces were beautiful and their florals perfect…but we’re suckers for peonies!

The wedding was nothing short of fabulous with hints of apple green and white throughout the entire event. The wedding party was one of the largest we have ever photographed with twenty-six in tow. The bridesmaids were sweet and fun. The groomsmen were charming and playful. No matter what you could tell that Sara and Paul have made quite an impact on a lot of people in their lives.

The ceremony was held at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. Truly my favorite aspect of each wedding is the few moments the bride and her father are quietly waiting to walk down the aisle. I really believe it is a spiritual moment. I cannot help but to think how wonderful it must be for a father to be able to gaze at his daughter as a grown women. Nate is always waiting at the front of the church to capture the twosome walking arm-in-arm. I am grateful for my spot always.

The wedding party left the ceremony after an enormous grand exit in a trolley to an amazing reception at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The catering directer, Vanessa Chavez, along with Nancy of Great Cooks brought Sara and Paul’s vision to life. One of our favorite moments was when a drum line followed the wedding party into the reception for the most incredible introduction of a bride and groom we have ever witnessed. It was entertaining, eye-grabbing and completely fresh. These kids were so talented! Anyway, Flip Miller played fabulous music for the rest of the evening while this young, fun crowd had a great time on the dance floor.

We congratulate Sara and Paul and wish them much happiness. To view their wedding album design, click here. If you are not a registered Pictage user then you may login with the following:  guest@nathanieledmunds.com, password:  guest.

Some are faced with harrowing thoughts of mortality young in their lifetimes. Our dear friend, Joel, was recently given devastating news of esophageal cancer. He is a young man, with an incredible entrepreneurial spirit. He is the father of three lovable children, and the husband to a ROCK of a woman.

Joel, along with his wife, April, are facing this diagnosis with enormous courage and grace. They will soon launch a blog called www.peighitforward.com (as in Peigh It Forward) so that their friends and family can travel along this journey with them…providing encouragement and strength during the times they need it the most.

We ask that you keep Joel in your prayers as he fights the fight of his life.

The first time that Lesley and Greg were introduced by a mutual friend, they actually didn’t care for each other. I guess that ‘dislike’ quickly turned into something else! We really think these two are the sweetest. They both have such a gentle nature.

Lesley and Greg had a grand ceremony and reception at the Columbia Club with the help of catering director, AJ Ploughe. Their guests first started with cocktails in the French Room then proceeded to an evening ceremony in the Grand Lobby. Afterwards, everyone was seated in the Crystal Terrace for the reception.

We wish Lesley and Greg the very best as they return from the honeymoon down under in Australia!

Greetings from Sweden. For the first time in nine years going to Sweden, we had amazing weather. Sunny and hot at 90 degrees celsius. I photographed a beautiful wedding that I will upload within a few weeks. Right now, I now board a plane to Hawaii (yes…half way across the world) for another exciting wedding!

Talk about being blessed with weather! Jen and Greg’s wedding, which included an outdoor ceremony at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and reception, was literally sandwiched in between two cold, rainy days.

Jen and Greg live in New York City so naturally they love to try new restaurants, spend time across the street from their condo at Central Park, and travel. They also avid bicyclists which was built into the theme of their wedding. The print pieces were designed by Kristin Doversberger of Westwood Paper which included an antique tandem bicycle as the cornerstone. So, while they seem very social and smart they also have a great adventuresome side.

In lieu of favors, they had spring flowers planted in Central Park in honor of each guest. We thought this was especially meaningful. The personalization of their wedding went even further when Jen’s grandfather presided over the ceremony and her brother played the music for the ceremony. Then after a decadent meal, Zannadoo kicked the party into gear and everyone hit the dance floor for the night.
