GRAND OPENING

RENAISSANCE HOTEL | CARMEL, INDIANA

I was honored to have been chosen as the photographer to capture the grand opening of a terrific new hotel, the Renaissance! It’s such a fabulous hotel that is a refreshing combination of modern decor, contemporary elegance, fun rooms and a unique, fresh atmosphere! I really love it and think it’s a great, welcome addition to the north side of Indy! They are also emerging into the wedding market and are well ready for it! Their ballroom is like no other with modern, unique fixtures and their food, presentation and complete approach to catering is just a feast for the senses, as you will see! I am anxiously awaiting my first opportunity to shoot a wedding there! Enjoy….

WOW this place looks awesome! I love the lobby…so chic and funky. And I love the way the dessert bar was set up. You did a great job capturing the fun atmosphere.

I found out that we have a mutual friend…I went to high school with Cammi Comer, who is dating Keith from your church. She mentioned you the other day! I really admire your work.

We’re shooting a wedding there this weekend! How funny! It’s great to see some photos so we know what to expect. The place looks like a lot of fun! Not at all what I expected from the name. :-)
