Silver Lotus Wedding Photography - Indianapolis

This post has been a long time coming... but here are some of my faves

]

Just a few from Sunday night

 Chantelle and Nate had such beautiful intimant ceremony in bloomington on the IU campus. The wedding party and guests included just 9 people....but it just made the ceremony seem more intenese and really special...no worries though they had a big shindig the next day and invited a ton of people! After the ceremony they headed back to indy for lovely dinner in the wine cellar at St. Elmo's downtown. They should be having a ton of fun by now on their Mediterranean cruise.......jealous!!!

 Here are just a few of my favorites!

Talk about muti-tasking! :) 

Chantelle let her mother and mother in law pick out her wedding dress!...I know! This is just how laid back she is. Anyways, I have to say it is definitely one of the most beautiful wedding dresses I have ever seen!

I am sorry Lisa that it has taken so long to get to blogging your wedding but your wedding was too much for a few of my favorites and I knew you kept saying you wanted your wedding blogged so...

Let me first say, I LOVE YOU GUYS. 

Ahem... When I first met this couple I thought I was going to have a tough couple because they are both lawyers.  Well to hell with stereotypes... they really are people and good people at that.  Adam is superman in a suit helping the underdog.  Lisa explained a little of what she does but I didn't understand it. 

They are both very eclectic people with unusual tastes in music but it was good music.  I got the sense that they look for the hidden beauty in life seeking out good music no one had heard yet.  They were open to anything I asked them to do photographically as well and that just made everything run more smoothly.   

They were married at the Mavris Culture Center which everyone should go to just to at least see.  John Mavris has created a wonderful environment for brides and grooms and puts so much work into each event. 

Enough of my babbling...

Hair done at 934? ft.wayne ave. downtown

SHOES!!! Everyone thinks I have a foot fetish but every bride should be able to show their future daughters or daughter-in-laws what kind of shoes she wore at their own wedding.

Guess which guy is having his face prepared for a shave at Red's Barber downtown?

This baby's face has too much character.  I feel telepathic thoughts or something... I know what you are thinking baby...

Reds Barber downtown.  This is where the guys got their whiskers sliced off ;)

What every man should read before his wedding.  This book was on a shelf at Red's and we all had great giggles going through it.

BEAUTIFUL DRESS.  I really like the way the green sash plays on the color through out the day and in many ways I don't think it was intentional but for maybe on a subconscience level.

Isn't he handsome?  Very GQ

She is walking down the steps to drive on over to meet Adam.

Even more GQ don't you think?  We had to go back in because it was toasty outside all dressed up.

Lisa likes the wall too.

American Gothic don't ya think?

WEEEEEE!!!

Smoooches!

More smooches right off the circle so we can see the capitol building.

My big fashion ring light strobe put to use.  It is like the cover of a conservative Maxim magazine.

Next to the heliport

Cute Ring bearer didn't bring rings... he came with... a warning :)

Lisa said he is the best flute player in all of Indiana.  He is a close friend of the couples but seemed to be the type of person who could be friends with anyone as soon as you met him.  And he reminds me of one of my favorite actors... Chiwetel Ejiofor (a british actor) I like movies no one has heard of so I do understand your musical tastes ;)

"The Best Dude" or better known as the bride's brother.  She wanted him as a maid-of-honor but he looked better in the tux.

The kiss!

This is the lovely view from Mavris of downtown.  How cool is that!

TUNNEL DANCE!!!  I always think it is so fun to see this.

Can you guess which Madonna song was playing?  Who remembers?  Lisa apparently loves Madonna.

These guys are great.  Digital DJs.  I reccommend 4 DJs to all the couples that come in the door and these are one of my favorites.  Lots of good DJs out there but not all have their spunk.  Take a look at the vendors links on the blog for some of our favorite wedding professionals.

 Sara and Matthew are such a sweet couple. They wanted their dog Lily to be in a few of their photos....she sat still for maybe 4 and then she took off running wild through the neighborhood. It's not her fault though she's just a puppy (a big one) So we had to settle for a shot of her watching us through the window...  :) We still had a great day shooting the rest of the photos and there was a spectacular sunset at the end of the day. Be sure to check out the rest of this couples photos in a week or two and you might get to see some of matthew JCPenny model poses :)

 Poor Lily

I really like this couple.  I like all my couples but this one has a special meaning to me because I photographed the Bride's brother's wedding years ago... and this couple loves to have their photo taken. 

 It means so much when a couple is willing to do about anything we ask.

So here are just my fave 3... still busy reloading all the weddings since January.... ugh... They are coming.

Sorry these are a little late getting up on the blog but we've been busy, busy! Veronique and Ryan had a beautiful ceremony outside of Laurel Hall. This was my first time shooting a there and I sure hope it's not my last. It was a pretty HOT day but everyone got through it and it cooled down in time for the ceremony. The Bride was gorgeous, the groom was handsome, and the cake was to die for! (As soon as I find out where it was from I'll let ya know) :)
