Silver Lotus Wedding Photography - Indianapolis

This wedding was fantastic.  I was nervous about this wedding because we never met Emily or Pete prior to the wedding.  Since they live in Chicago, they couldn't make it in to the studio to meet us.  Luckily we did enough talking through email, mail, and phone plus our meeting at the rehearsal that I knew I would be able to photograph the people and things they found most important. 

 We started at St. Mark's United Methodist up in Carmel at 126th and Gray rd.  I know I mentioned from my 9/29/07 wedding that I really liked that church.  I think it works very well for photography and the people there seem very dedicated to ensuring the success of every wedding. Theresa, Lydia, and Pastor Burt were a pleasure. 

Emily's mother, Lynn, was such a help on the phone.  You could tell from the conversation alone that it was going to be a fun wedding with a good crowd.  My guess was right because they had a great group in the wedding party.  The groomsmen all had a great sense of humor and brought a Nintendo Wii system to play during the wait of the ladies getting ready.  Bowlers and Rockstars... what a bunch. :)

Pete's brother gave one of the greatest BestMan speeches and I will always remember how Pete became Mr. Super Woooo. 

 Oakhill Mansion on 116th street is always a pleasure to go to for a reception.  The food is always good there so I could never complain :)

I was glad to see Wes, from Event 1 DJs, brought a light set.  They make all the difference in the world in changing the dance floor ambiance as you will see when you look through the shots.

Lastly, I have to mention, the ring set Pete had made was very nice.  It had 3 generations of diamonds in band and engagement ring.  It was very nice and had a very sentimental meaning to them.  It seemed very important to Pete that he thank someone in the family with a nice photograph.

For all you guys and gals in Detroit and Chicago - we travel :)

Enjoy the photos everyone and leave Emily and Pete a message and let them know what you thought about the wedding. Thank you everyone for the great night!

Pretty shoes!

You can't tell from the photograph but the flowers smelled amazing.

I love the shade of green used in the sash. 

Tracy had mad bow making skills.

What did he say to make you laugh?

Aren't they cute?

Emily kept making all of us laugh because of the number of times she grabbed the handkerchief from Anna.
