Gomes | A Modern Elopement at the Indiana Statehouse | Indianapolis Destination Wedding Photogarphers

Andrew and Makenna are officially Mr & Mrs! While planning their wedding, they realized it wasn’t lining up with what they truly wanted for their special day and decided to change it all up for an intimate elopement at the Indiana Statehouse! When I first spoke with Makenna, I remember chatting about her vision for their engagement session being “statehouse elopement-esque” (and it turned out so cute) so I wasn’t too surprised to hear they decided to go this direction for their big day! We had so much fun working with them! It was very special capturing the two of them as they exchanged their vows in front of their parents and then mingling with their guests at their cozy reception held by Eddie Merlot’s. It was the perfect day! We hope these two are enjoying settling into their new home and planning their dream honeymoon!

Audrey + Ben | Stunning Lakeside Wedding with All the Mamma Mia Two Feels | Lake James, Angola, IN | Indianapolis Based International Elopement & Destination Wedding Photographers

Here’s to Mr & Mrs Fox!

This wedding was truly one of a kind. Audrey and Ben both grew up enjoying the beautiful waters of Lake James in Angola, IN but it wasn’t until later in life that they reconnected and fell in love. It was only fitting that they held their wedding here, in a place that means something to both of them and their families. One of our biggest pieces of advice when planning a wedding is to choose a place that means something to you and if you don’t have a specific spot, select a location you have both been wanting to visit or a venue that feels unique to you. Having that special connection to the location you are saying your vows at is so beautiful.
Audrey and Ben’s elopement-style wedding was filled with vintage glamour and it paired so well with the lake front. From Audrey’s grandmother’s art deco earrings she wore to the burgundy tweed three piece suit that Ben adorned, every little detail was covered. The couple was blessed with such wonderful loved ones that provided spaces for getting ready as well as the intimate ceremony location. Family friends were such a huge part in helping them piece together their dream wedding. A friend’s stunning handmade boat was Audrey’s arrival to the ceremony location, giving us all the Mamma Mia Two vibes! Later in the evening, we were blessed with an unbelievable sunset that colored both the sky and dark water in hot pink and orange.
We had such a wonderful time with these two—we laughed with them all day! It was truly a wedding that connected to our souls. Anytime we are photographing near a body of water, we are fully in our element. We hope these two enjoyed their Air B&B on Lake James and have fun planning their honeymoon!

Ashley + Matt | Classically Romantic Wedding at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, IN | International Indianapolis Elopement & Destination Wedding Photographers

Here's to Mr & Mrs Dudley!

Ashley and Matt put on a classic affair to celebrate their wedding on Sunday at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, IN. The space was designed beautifully, filled with The Empty Vase’s romantic floral arrangements. The couple looked absolutely fabulous in their attire from The Black Tux, Marie Gabriel Couture and Blue House Bridal. From the moment Matt turned around to see his radiant bride during their first look, Matt only had a smile to wear and rarely took his eyes from her the rest of the day. It was so adorable! We had a wonderful time working with these two and chatting with their awesome friends and family. Their day truly felt like it flew by! We hope these two enjoy their honeymoon in Maui, Hawaii this winter!

Megan + Alan | Rustic Fall Wedding at the Barn on Maryland Ridge in Bloomington, IN | International Indianapolis Elopement & Destination Wedding Photographers

Here’s to Mr & Mrs Jackson!

Megan and Alan celebrated their wedding on a warm fall day in Bloominton, IN on Saturday. They were surrounded by their closest loved ones at the beautiful Barn on Maryland Ridge. Pops of fall tones helped to bring on all of the autumn feels thanks to the wide variety of fall decor and the venue’s stunning pumpkin patch off in the distance. This wedding has us so excited for crisp air and pumpkin carving! Megan looked stunning in her blush toned wedding dress from Sophia’s Bridal while Alan looked dapper in his charcoal grey tux. Overall, it was a wonderfully rustic affair with a beautiful Indiana sky to round out the night. We hope these two enjoy their new home together!

Jill + Matthew | Upscale City Engagement Photography Session on the Gold Coast Along Lake Michigan | Elopement & Destination Wedding Photographers | Chicago, IL

Last weekend, we traveled up to Chicago to capture Jill and Matthew's engagement session...and it was stunning! These two have made a home for themselves along the Gold Coast and we can see why. The beautiful buildings surrounding their rooftop and the close vicinity to the crisp blue waters of Lake Michigan make this spot a great place to be young and adventurous! We were blessed with an overcast, windy evening which made for some amazing photos (and cooler summer weather)! We can't wait to capture their wedding in Indianapolis early next year!
