The forecast for Saturday kept saying it was going to be nice and sunny and temps in the upper 70s.  Well when we woke up it was cloudy, wet and chilly.  We kept saying out prayers that the sun would come out.  We wanted this to be a beautiful day for Jenny and Dave’s outdoor wedding at the IMA.

Mother Nature must have been listening, because the clouds broke, the sun came out and it was perfect. The wedding and reception was held at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. We enjoyed working again with Photographer Andrew Scalini and Planner Casey Scott with Etcetera

This is the Same Day Edit we did for them.  Enjoy!

Thanks Jenny and Dave for letting us capture your day.

This is one memorable couple. We enjoyed getting to know Jenny and Doug and really understanding the closeness that they share. This wedding reminded us of the importance of family and this was quite evident for each side of their respective families. The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. The intro music to this video is actually from the choir that sang at the church. There is quite a back story to how they got the choir to sing for their wedding, which made it all that more important to both Doug and Jenny. We were honored to be able to capture this important time in their lives. And thank you Doug and Jenny for the gift certificate to Bub’s! We are hooked!

We enjoyed filming this wedding with photographer Megan Grandi, who does amazing work. Take some time and look at the images from the wedding HERE

This was a wedding we filmed in Carmel, IN. We really enjoyed shooting this one. While I was shooting I kept thinking that Jamie reminded me of someone and it wasn’t until I was outside with her getting some shots and it hit me that she had a striking resemblance to Eva Longoria. We worked with Joni Streit Photography and had such a great time working with her.

This was a wedding we filmed in Indianapolis, IN. The wedding was at Geist Christian Church. The ceremony was beautiful and it was very apparent that Afton and her Father have a great Father / Daughter relationship. The anticipation of walking down the aisle with his daughter, made us wonder what was going through his mind. Afton and Joe have quite a story of how they met and the romance involved a long distance relationship. We believe that every single wedding has a distinct story and personality and this wedding involved a story of fate and faith. Just goes to show you that if you want to make a long distance relationship, it certainly can be done, but it takes work. But Joe and Afton remind us that if you love someone, it is work that is well worth the effort.

The reception was held at the Skyline Club, which is the same location where Joe proposed to Afton. We worked with Ardent Stills Photography.

Thanks Afton and Joe!

Each wedding that we film, we approach it by looking for the unique textures, small and large that make up the personality of the wedding.  We have filmed a growing number of weddings where the Bride and Groom have written their own vows.  On one occasion they both wrote them on the morning of their wedding day.   From a storytelling perspective, we love this.  We had one couple write their own vows and they never shared what each had written until they read them to each other  in front of a captive audience.  It was amazing how certain aspects of the vows mirrored each other.   We like personalized vows because it takes the expectation away from your guests.  Many of your guests have attended weddings where the traditional vows were exchanged, but once they hear a deviation from the norm, they seem to be more attentive.  Writing your own vows is certainly not for everyone  but it is well worth considering and adds another layer of a personal memorable touch.

Writing Your Vows Tips by Style Me Pretty
1. When it comes to writing your vows, keep it simple. Your guests and your partner will appreciate it that much more.

2. Some churches do not allow for custom vows. Make sure to check with your officiant before you get your heart set.

3. A great way to include your own vows without the stress of starting from scratch, is to personalize the more traditional vows. A handwritten letter to your partner, read aloud, is a great way to do this.

4. Make sure you are comfortable with the tone of your vows. If joking around is a part of your everyday life, it will feel seamless tucked inside your vows. If you are more subdued, skip the jokes and just say what you feel.

5. If you get stuck when coming up with what you want to say, look to old stories, photographs and memories with your partner. Allow the words to come from those moments.

This was a wedding we filmed at Northminister Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis, IN. We loved the bright yellow color of the inside of this church. It was a beautiful wedding. Prior to the wedding we met with Amanda and Keith for dinner and learned a little more about them and also found out that it was not too long ago that Amanda lost her father. We are sure he was smiling on this day. The reception was held in the Garden Pavillion at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, Indiana. We worked for the first time with Dan and Brooke of Brand Photodesigngo and had a great time.  Amanda’s makeup artist was done by eyeMAX by Kiralee.

Thank you Amanda and Keith for choosing Northernlight Filmworks to film your wedding day.
