If you remember reading my post about Emily and Brian’s engagement session you will remember how much I love them. (see post here) I’m pretty sure we were destined to be friends. They both went to IU and incorporated some awesome red details and IU paraphanalia into the day.  Even including a promise to remain together ” through the ups and downs of IU basketball” (which is very true this season).

They had their ceremony/reception at the gorgeous Omni Severin Hotel downtown. Being the middle of November you never really know what Indiana weather is going to through your way. Luckily it wasn’t absolutely freezing yet and we were able to sneak outside for some photos downtown. Thanks to the girls for toughing out the wind in strapless dresses 🙂  The ceremony was great and the dance floor was rocking all night long… complete with breakaway IU warmup pants from the bride…. just wait .. you’ll see….

Congrats to Emily and Brian 🙂

I figured what better way to start the blog than with a shot with Lucas Oil Stadium in the back since I’m writting this blog as I wait for the Colts playoff game to start. This is was the view off the balcony of the hotel room.

My favorite shot of the rings and dress… spiral staircase? yes please 🙂 and if you’re wondering the rings are on her pinstripe breakaway pants that will make another appearance later in this post…

And once everyone got all dolled up it was outside for photo time!

And then it was Brian’s turn with the guys

The gorgeous ceremony space at the Omni

So to give you some background on this next photo Emily has been asking for these tearaway pinstripe IU pants for years… hinting at Brian to get them for her with no success. So she decided to go ahead and get a pair and she put them on right before he went for the garter. Needless to say it was a classic reaction….

And last but not least… me with the newlyweds 🙂
