Sam & Matt | Indiana University Wedding Details
5.17.12 Resources, WeddingsSamantha had sunflowers everywhere, which I think was a very fitting flower for her personality. She paired the vibrant yellows with teal for a unique look that really popped. The team at Indiana Memorial Union worked their magic to turn Alumni Hall from their ceremony to reception room, during their cocktail hour. A week of the wedding idea, glow sticks during the last dance and getaway, ended up being a big hit with all the guests!

Sam & Matt | Indiana University Wedding
5.9.12 WeddingsMatt saw something special in Sam early into their days at Indiana University, both working with Young Life. Perhaps her incredible smile, fun personality or devotion to the Lord. His persistance in pursuit of Sam paid off, she eventually came around to saying yes to a date, yes to a relationship and yes to the perfect proposal. (he literally brought in friends from all over the country to be there as part of the surprise)
It was fitting for them to share their vows where they already had so many special memories, on the campus of IU. After a sweet ceremony, the rain that had lasted for hours let up and sun broke through as they went outside to steal their first few moments as man and wife. We got a chance to visit a few of their favorite spots on campus during cocktail hour. The reception was full of many dear friends and family that were filled with joy for Matt and Sam. The dance floor was full of action and they enjoyed celebrated with all their favorite people.
Matt & Sam-It was an honor to witness your love and devotion to each other and see the love that your families have for you both.

Ceremony & Reception

Becky & Justin | Captiva Island, Florida Wedding
5.1.12 WeddingsFrom about as long as she can remember, Becky has been vacationing with her family in Captiva Island. Also, since she was a little girl she has been planning her Captiva Wedding. It might have taken a few years for all the pieces to come in to place, most importantly her groom who began as just a cute new neighbor in Indy, but this spring’s trip was more than a family vacation, it was a celebration. Both families spent time both before the wedding and after at the South Seas Resort, which is a little hidden piece of paradise.
Despite forecasts of severe storms earlier in the week, the rain passed the night before the wedding. However, due to crazy winds, especially along the beach (where the ceremony was to be), plan B did move the ceremony to the other side of the resort near the reception area. Lucky us, we were in great hands with John coordinating from South Seas and Monica Richard with Mon Amie Events Inc.. Becky literally thought of every detail and made them work perfectly together and if by any chance she missed anything Monica had it covered. The detail post to come is incredible, but back to the wedding.
Becky walked into her ceremony through a lined sidewalk of trees, decorated with ribbons and hanging candles. The ceremony site was nothing short of grand (not bad for a plan B). One of Becky’s bridesmaids officiated the wedding. As they said their vows, exchanged rings, a few dolphins played behind them in the water and a few birds flew by. It really couldn’t have been more perfect. The wedding party did make a trip out to the beach for some beautiful pictures. Even though the location was gorgeous to shoot, what I loved even more was how sentimental this beach was to Becky and I’m sure will become to Justin and they travel back to Captiva over the coming years.
The reception was a complete party, with guest in vacation mode and ready to let loose. After an elegant dinner the guests move to take over the dance floor and the couches with fire pits outside on the deck. A dreamy day and night to say the least.
Becky and Justin, thank you so much for having us travel down to share in such an amazing day! We are excited for what lies ahead for you both. Your family and friends were a pleasure to be with and we considered it a great honor to be welcomed in with such open arms.
