Hey everyone! I’m proud to finally be blogging my first 2012 wedding. The winter months are always so slow, so I was looking forward to this wedding big time – especially after the amazingly warm winter weather we’ve been having! Sarah and David’s big day didn’t disappoint – it was party sunny and 60 = perfect!
You may remember these two from their amazing engagement session in the rain. If you missed that you can see it HERE.
I arrived at the hotel to shoot Sarah getting ready. I knew she was going to be a gorgeous bride, but YOWZA!(yep I just said yowza). David you are one lucky guy! Granted the gorgeous gown from Sophia’s Bridal, Tux and Prom combined with the makeup of Kiralee from Eyemax makeup and hair by Danielle Jordan didn’t hurt either.
From there we traveled just down the road to Valle Vista for the ceremony and reception. The day was perfect for the ceremony on the veranda followed by some of the greatest speeches I’ve ever heard at a wedding and a surprising groom’s cake! All in all it was a perfect March day and I was honored to share it with Sarah and David. I love you guys so much! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your big day!
The gorgeous flowers were from Steve’s Flowers and the yummy cake was from Amazing Cakes. The Bridesmaid dresses were from David’s Bridal and the tuxes were from Men’s Warehouse. Rick from DJ’s Direct kept the party going all night!

All of the girls signed the bottom of Sarah’s shoes that she wore for most of the day 🙂

The shoes in this wedding were amazing! The maid of honor wore these awesome blue sequined shoes, Sarah switched into the pink ones later and the bridemaids wore gray heels.

What a better way to ring in the New Year than with an awesome couple like Jen and Mike?! Both are graduates of Indiana University (go hoosiers) and Jen is a good friend of my friend Julie (who was a bridesmaid).
I knew that this was going to be a very fun wedding the second I met Jen and Mike. At the time Jen was about 7 months pregnant with their son, Nolan, who is adorable and can makes an appearance below. They talked about how they met and what they had in mind for there big day. They wanted their guests to really have a great time and with it being New year’s eve the party was essential to kick off 2012 right.
We lucked out and it was in the 50’s on the day of their wedding. It’s been such a weird winter I didn’t know what to expect. After their traditional Catholic ceremony we spent some time cruising around downtown taking photos. LOVED the big fur coat Jen rocked for some of the night photos!
From there it was off to the reception at the Murat to get the party started….. and a party it was! The dance floor was packed all night. I even busted out some moves at one point. The space was gorgeous – shout out to Oasis Events! And I loved that they named each able a different date after a significant date in their relationship or the relationships/anniversaries of their guests.
Ceremony: Immaculate Heart of Mary
Venue: Murat Theatre/ Old National Centre
Bridal Gown/Bridesmaids dresses and tuxes : Nancy’s Bridal
Event Coordinator: Patti with Oasis Events
DJ: Jeremy with Pro Audio Indy
Floral : VS Designs

Love night time photos 🙂 The Christmas lights were still up on the circle and around Mass Ave. We took advantage of both and the Murat, where they had the reception.

Each table was named after a significant date, either to the couple to one of the guests at that table. Such a unique idea!
