Anne + James = MARRIED!!

On 8/31, we photographed James & Anne’s German themed wedding at American Legion Mall and their reception at the Rathskeller. We started out at their home…where I found this adorable note that Anne gave James, isn’t that sweet?!

James hanging out with his guys while the girls were getting ready…

We met up with everyone at the Indianapolis Art Center in Broadripple for their private moment & some photos before heading downtown…Anne & James are VERY artsy people so when she surprised him by wearing a purple wedding dress, he loved it! 🙂

Awww!

We started with some family photos…:)

And our emergency kit came in handy…one of the bridesmaids had a strap come off – sewing kit to the rescue! 🙂

LOL! This shot cracks me up!! We told them to just have fun and they struck some funny poses…until her sister almost fell over trying to work it out. 😉

“HOLE!!” LOL …ok, so I was scouting perfect locations to shoot in the shade and nearly fell in this huge hidden hole in the grass. We all had a good laugh and then about 4 other people nearly did the same thing during photos so yeah, it became the running joke during pictures! 🙂

James showed me a gag gift that his friend gave him and I immediately thought “ring shot!” 🙂

The handsome groom…

I LOVED the architecture and landscape at the Art Center…it’s been awhile since I’ve been there (took photo classes there WAY back when) but it was the PERFECT spot for some neat bride & groom pics!

Our gorgeous bride!

I LOVE birdcage veils, they’re SO COOL!!! I definitely wanted more of a dramatic look on this one…

J.P. Parker did her flowers, loved them!!

GORGEOUS!!

Another beautiful blue sky day! 🙂

Then we headed downtown by White River Gardens for some wedding party photos with the downtown skyline…

When we arrived to ALM, we were happy to see buckets of cold ice water for their guests…it was so HOT outside that day. It’s always a good idea to provide cold water for your guests if you’re having an outdoor wedding. I think it’s better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them! 😉

My HOT husband helping us girls side shoot 🙂

Cool shot through the banister in the back of the lawn…

They had their cocktail hour at the Biergarten at the Rathskeller, everyone had a great time!

We ran inside and got some room set up shots before the reception started…I loved the extra lights that they strung around the perimeter of the dance floor!

Check out the cakes! YUM!! A Little Bite of Heaven provided the cakes for the reception…

Meanwhile, back at the cocktail hour, guests were enjoying some delicious German style catering…YUM!!

LOVE THIS!!

LOVED this shot too with the sunflower in the foreground and her dancing with her dad in the background 🙂

They had a family song (“Yellow Submarine”) and everyone joined in on a sing-a-long…that song is still stuck in my head!! LOL

Joel from Mystro’s Entertainment did an awesome job that night!!

Melissa caught this shot during “Grease Lightning” 🙂

Thanks for a great time you guys! More pics coming soon!! 🙂
