Indianapolis Creative Weddings

Happy Anniversary to Sheryl and Mark who had a beautiful Sunday wedding. The bride’s gown was from Demetrios, it was lovely, such beautfiul details on her gown. The flowers were designed by Coby Palmer (253-7160) which were great designs and wonderful color together. The reception was at The Montage at Allison Pointe, they went all out on the set up and the service was amazing. The wedding coordinator was Theresa Gift at Eventful Planning and she did a great job making sure everything ran very smoothly, very smoothly! Then the band – how fun this is – the band was Endless Summer and one of the band members is Brian England, we did Brians wedding back in 1984ish. He called his wife, Julie on the phone so we could say hi to here, it was great to see him! And the band really keep things rocking. Everyone had a great time!!

If you are having your wedding reception out of doors, that opens the door for many activities that would be hard to pull off indoors. You can plan games and activities based on the outdoor theme and carry that theme indoors if part of the reception is inside as well.

Depending on where the reception will be held, you can plan many activities based on the setting. Whether it is the park or on a farm, there are a myriad of activities you can plan.

Meghan shares her thoughts on her biggest wedding-day priority: Photography.

This week’s recessionist agenda involves photography. This post won’t bring you much money-saving advice, but rather the idea of prioritizing your budget and hiring great vendors. As I mentioned earlier, Stylist and I feel that photography is the most important aspect of our wedding day. We want to be able to look back on our images and remember all the great memories that day brought us. With that said, we hired a photographer I’ve loved from the moment I began working at The White Box (whose identity will be revealed in a future post).

Monica shared her advice about finding the right photographer in these posts. When hiring a great photographer, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, it’s really important that your personalities mesh. Monica is constantly telling brides how important it is to love both your planner and your photographer because you will see and interact with them more than anyone else on your wedding day. If during your initial consultation, your potential photographer is popping his gum or has a laugh that reminds you of your ex-boyfriend’s, you may want to consider other candidates.

The caterer, the dressmaker, the florist, and the photographer wedding professional are all people who will work together to make your big day truly special. Brides-to-be want all of the elements to flow seamlessly in order to create a magical and one of a kind event. Of all your professionals, the photographer is the one whose work will truly last, immortalized for all time in the pages of your wedding album. The photographer wedding professional is responsible for making every other professional’s work look good in those lasting photographs, not to mention making you and your friends and loved ones look your very best. Therefore, it is very important to choose professional wedding photographers who have experience, grace, class, and dignity.

The job of the photographer wedding professional is not an easy one. The photographer has to be there to document as much as possible without getting in the way. He or she has to work with the flow of events and at the same time organize shots. The photographer can easily dominate the wedding party and guests with demands that ruin the event. A good professional will act in such a way that you never know he’s there. One type of photography in use today is photojournalistic wedding photography. This style of photography allows everyone to be himself or herself with no interference from the photographer, creating natural-looking shots.
