I woke up to rain, lots of it and there was no sign of stopping. On the way to the Sanctuary on Penn the clouds parted and the rain stopped and we were able to get some amazing pictures on the War Memorial and in Memorial Park. After they were married their guests all grabbed balloons and released them outside of the sanctuary. Congratulations Hali and Lucas on a beautiful wedding.

One of the things I love to do at weddings is to sneak my couples away during their reception for a mini twilight photoshoot. We literally stepped out of The Sanctuary on Penn and took their twilight pictures. When Natalie saw them she said, "I just have to hug you, this is going on our mantle for 40 years!" 

I shot Melissa's senior photos 5 years ago little knowing I'd also shoot her wedding! Alden and her are a great match, couple that with a great backdrop and you have a recipe for amazing wedding photos! One of the darkest venues in Indianapolis that I shoot is one of the reasons I love shooting here! I love using darkness to create drama and interest in a photo.
