Barbara and Evan are an amazingly comfortable and warm couple.  She is sophisticated and sweet.  He is kind of goofy yet very outgoing and sensitive.  In fact, they just had a lot of fun on their wedding day from the moment they saw each other.

As soon as we witnessed Barbara put on her Reem Acra gown it was if she was always meant to be a bride.  She was stunning.

Some of our favorite moments from their wedding had to be:

- Having the backdrop of the majestic Columbia Club to take pictures on a blustery winter day.

- The intimate ceremony at Christ Church along the Circle in Indianapolis. It was a first for us in this most impeccably taken care of sanctuary.

- Evan’s toast to his bride.  We are not quite sure there was a dry eye among the guests but his toast had to do with a rock and Barbara turning a corner.  It was perfect!

- Barbara’s father giving a heartfelt thank you to the pillar of their family, his wife.

Other vendors involved included:  florals by JP Parker, cake by Heavenly Sweets, and entertainment by Blair & Co.

Congratulations, Barbara and Evan!

This California couple are die hard Indianapolis Colts fans.  So, it was with such a shock and joy to be let upon the field at Lucas Oil Stadium for some quick snapshots unexpectedly with the wedding party. Haley and Daniel thought it was better than the ceremony which was hard to compete with at the beautiful St. John Church just a few blocks away from stadium.  Followed by the reception at the Hyatt Indianapolis which was a first for us to photograph at.

Haley and Daniel were such a pleasure to work with…she is thoughtful and outgoing.  Daniel has a humorous confidence about him.  Together…they are adorable.

Some of our favorite aspects to this wedding:  Chris Cromwell of Bloomz beautiful bouquets, Haley’s spicy blue Valentino heels, the surprise groom’s cake by Classic Cakes designed to look like a six pack of Old Style, and the best of all..dueling pianos from Howl at the Moon as the entertainment for the reception.

Congratulations, Haley and Daniel!

We didn’t meet Jennifer until months after she booked us for her wedding.  Honestly, I never thought she would call back.  It was one of those days that I shouldn’t have even picked up the phone with several kids home sick.  But I took the call and wound up writing my notes in blue crayon on a scrap piece of paper while carrying around at least one child.

I brought the scrap paper along to the wedding just for a great laugh.  She thought the conversation had clearly gone much better than I while I muted out the cries of children.  In any case, we began to forge a nice friendship…we especially loved her mother from the moment we met…sincere, kind and just plain cute.

Often times, Indiana is full of surprises so it was a warm welcome that on this November day (YES…only one more wedding to post from 2009) that it was beautiful out.  The day was perfect for Jennifer and Brian beginning with the gals getting ready at the Omni Severin, then walking to St. John for a lovely ceremony.   I now know to bring along a Tide stick to every wedding because we had remove a stain that mysteriously appeared before the ceremony.

Anyway, after the ceremony concluded we cruised around the museum campus and Capitol with a terrific wedding party which included a lot of family.

The reception was at the gorgeous Omni Severin where Palmer/Kelley Designs and Flip Miller Band all participated greatly in making it a fabulous event.

Congratulations, Jennifer and Brian.  We wish you the best in Cleveland in your new home…

We are nearly caught up with only two more weddings and several portraits from 2009 so this post is overdue to this gracious and wonderful family!

We think so highly of Emily and Franklin.  They seem to get completely absorbed in each other, and have an enormous amount in common…including their professions.  It was a beautiful wedding which began at the Columbia Club where the wedding party got ready and pictures along the Circle.  Everyone then moved to the Meridian Street Methodist Church for a candlelight ceremony…simple and intimate.  And back to the Columbia Club in one of the great antique cars from Antique Limo of Indy.

Congratulations, Emily and Franklin!  Check back in a few days for your wedding album design.  Enjoy!

Last year, we first met Abbie and Gabe in Maui when Abbie’s parents renewed their vows over a week long excursion with their closest friends and family.  We could tell just by how they looked at each other that they were bound to get married.  So, we were thrilled to hear about their engagement, and to work with this warm and charming family again.

This extraordinary wedding was pulled together in marathon speed by Tonya Shadoan’s team from Circle City Planners.  The wedding was held at two of the most majestic venues in Indianapolis:  the ceremony at the Indiana State House, and the reception following in the Grand Hall at Union Station. The details included branding and print items by Kate Berglund of KB Designs, florals by Eventful Florals, chairs and linens by A Classic, videography by IndyVisual, music by the Flying Toasters, lighting by Evans Audio Visual, photo booth by Indy Photo Booth, and hair/makeup by Karen Hall.

Congratulations, Abbie and Gabe!

Mandy and Todd had a beautiful wedding on a cold day in October.  However, they took it in stride and remained looking nothing short of stunning.  In fact, Nate even pulled a kite out of his camera bag thinking it might be kind of fun.  Fun until the security guards at the courthouse reminded us that no flying objects can be put in motion around a government building any longer.  Oops!

We especially loved Mandy’s chandelier earrings…and what girl can deny loving a pair of Christian Louboutin heels on her wedding day!  They added a lot of zing and definitely a few inches!

Both the ceremony and reception were carefully handled with the guidance of AJ Ploughe at the Columbia Club which made for a picture perfect backdrop.

One of our favorite aspects to the reception was when Mandy and Todd, Dancing with the Stars wannabes, had their wedding party hold up scores after their first dance.  Of course, there was no score less than a’9′!

Congratulations…Mandy and Todd!

Meghan and Ian are quiet, fun-loving, and sweet. And on top of that…they are just plain gorgeous. They clearly have an incredible connection that was evident to us immediately.

The Omni Severin provided a perfect backdrop for both the ceremony and reception while Maureen Boulanger was instrumental in making sure that all went well.  Chris Prange of Dream Weddings also created simple floral arrangements for the event.

Danielle has one of those families that we fell in love with from the moment we first met.  They are fun and funny.  They are wild, wacky and loud.  They finish sentences for each other.  They laugh ALL of the time.

Besides, when they explained the vision of their wedding…we were so excited and honored to take part in it. With the help of Darcie of Circle City Planners, the wedding was spectacular amidst the Village of Zionsville as Autumn set in.

Some highlights of the day included: getting ready at sister Amanda’s house (she is a hoot), watching Danielle and her father pull away in a horse-drawn carriage, walking around the Village with just Danielle and Jason taking pictures, witnessing the rain hold out just long enough for them to exchange their vows outside at Lincoln Park, entering into Nancy Noel’s Sanctuary and being completely mesmerized, tasting exquisite food, getting teary as Danielle’s parents announced they had purchased an original Nancy Noel painting for the newlyweds, and hanging with a wonderful group of people.
