Victoria + Pete = Married!

We photographed this sweet couple’s gorgeous Winter wedding last month at St. John’s & the Omni Severin! I loved all of their beautiful details…her dress, custom hanger, jewelry, sparkly shoes, flowers, decor, cake, venues, uplighting, everything was absolutely flawless!! Not to mention, the weather was PERFECT for outdoor photos that day! 🙂 They got soooo lucky!! The bridal suite that Victoria got ready in overlooked the church and Lucas Oil Stadium which was pretty cool too so we even got to take some outdoor photos on the back patio with all of the ladies. We did their first look at the Omni and then started on group photos and I thought these two had modeled before or something because they both were so great in front of the camera. After we completed photos at the hotel, we stopped by Monument Circle for more pics and then headed to the church where it was beautifully decorated for Christmas! Loved that!! Pete finished off the ceremony with a dip & kiss (so cute) and then we took more group shots and then headed back to the Omni for the reception. Everyone had a great time toasting and dancing the night away with the happy couple. Victoria & Pete surprised everyone with not only late night snacks but also light up glow sticks and large bags of Albanese Candy & popcorn! It definitely made for some fun candids and ring shots!! Thanks for a fun time you guys! 🙂

In her words…

1. How did he propose?

“Pete and I met on the first day of medical school so he planned the sweetest proposal on campus. In April of our 4th year of medical school, we were planning a trip to Wisconsin to pick out our new home. On that day, as we were walking off campus, he proposed outside the building that we had met in. We then had the best weekend in Wisconsin picking out our first home together and when we got back to Indianapolis I walked into a surprise engagement party with our families and friends. He pulled off two huge surprises and made it more special than I could have ever imagined. ”

2. What was your favorite wedding moment?

“In the middle of the reception, we snuck away to change our shoes. It was such a special private moment where we were able to talk alone and really reflect on the day together.”

3. What was his favorite wedding moment?

“When we were introduced as husband and wife for the first time at the reception!”

4. What was the funniest wedding moment?

“The extra kiss at the beginning of the ceremony!! When my dad gave me away, Pete greeted me with a kiss. I initially shied away thinking that we weren’t supposed to kiss yet which made it even funnier. Our priest then followed this up by saying ‘whatever works’.” LOL! 🙂

5. What was your first dance song?

“You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry & the Pacemakers. Pete is a huge Liverpool fan so this song was really special for us.”

6. What advice would you give to future couples?

“The point of the day is to be married and that requires very little – so don’t worry about all of the little details. Things will fall into place and at the end of the day you will have a spouse!”
