Oh what a DAY Katie & Ken had for their wedding!! I was awake in the wee hours of the morning for their early morning wedding and I knew something was up when I heard weather alerts all night long and into that morning. I heard that we had flooding so I left with extra time and didn’t think much of it. As I left to meet Katie for her prep, I heard that all local schools were closing (a first for flooding on record) and countless major roads were impassable and I realized that this was something more than I thought. Then, after 5 attempts to get out of my own town and meeting flooded road after flooded road, I figured out that this was serious and started to worry for Katie & Ken’s wedding. It turns out that it was one of the worst floods that Indianapolis has ever seen and it continued to effect Katie & Ken’s day as it went on. Unfortunately, a good number of their guests were unable to make it to their wedding because they literally could not get there. Even the road that the wedding venue was on, flooded in both directions shortly after we arrived. Then the day turned even more interesting as the temps dropped to frigid levels, the wind became unbelievably fierce and it started to SNOW. I seriously started to wonder what else could happen. What is SOO amazing and soo special about this day, though…is that it TRULY didn’t dampen Katie & Ken’s spirits AT ALL! They had ONE single care on their wedding day and it was MARRYING one another! Would they have loved a beautiful, sunny, 70 degree spring morning…of course, but they really had a solid grasp on the fact that it was NOT about weather, it was about being married to each other before their friends, family and God. It couldn’t have been a better attitude to have on a day like they were dealt, because they couldn’t control anything else…and so they found the joy and excitement in what they COULD control! They are such a sweet, wonderful couple…soo completely in love and connected to one another! They had a gorgeous wedding despite all that was going on around them! A warm and beautiful backdrop of Mustard Seed Gardens for their Noblesville wedding, surrounded by family and friends, dancing and fun…it turned out to be a fantastic day!! Katie & Ken, I was honored to be a part of your wedding! I truly wish you soo much love and a lifetime of joy!

Miranda & Sean’s wedding was absolutely fantastic! They are truly a wonderful, warm, kind and endearing couple…and their wedding was a perfect representation of those qualities. From the impeccable style and rich beauty of the day, to the love and joy that radiated from everyone involved, to the thoughtfulness and care in every detail, to the family and friends that surrounded Miranda & Sean, it was such a memorable, incredible wedding!! There were soo many moments that I remember, from the morning prep when Miranda’s best friend shared an old treasure that she found…a BFF locket that Miranda has given her as a child, to the father/daughter first look when Miranda’s Father shared a special memory with her of a $2 Dollar Bill that they were each given half of when Miranda began High School, to hearing Miranda’s mother say that she’s always envisioned the day when her daughter would come down the staircase of their beautiful family home in her wedding gown, to the BEST Father of the Bride speech that I’ve ever heard in my career, to watching Sean and his sister share a pinky swear and then watching her tear up as her brother’s best friend toasted him on his wedding day…and the list goes on! There were soo many sweet, wonderful moments! Miranda & Sean also took great care in choosing a dream team of wedding professionals to carefully orchestrate their day…and they made excellent choices, as it was a flawless day! I also was able to spend the day surrounded by wonderful friends who are incredible at their profession and it’s always such a joy to collaborate as a team to create a couple’s dream wedding! None of us will ever tire of having such a special opportunity as a team of wedding professionals! Miranda and Sean, I wish you a lifetime of love and I’m soo excited for all that awaits you in the coming year!! It was such an honor capturing your wedding! All my love…
