Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

Weddings

I’m so excited to be offering Indianapolis wedding photography starting in 2022! There are still limited dates available for this season, and I will be opening my calendar for 2023 soon.

As I am preparing for this season I am thinking back on Kendall and Justin’s wedding. It was one of the high points from last wedding season. This early spring fete was the perfect pairing of glamor and fun. I’m sharing highlights from the Keuch wedding today!

Getting Ready

Kendall chose to keep this special moment between herself and her mother. My mama heart was absolutely bursting as her mom tenderly dressed her baby girl. We organized a first look with her bridesmaids once she was ready. Their reactions were everything a bride could hope for! I may or may not have teared up when I saw the maids’ eyes light up and heard their screams and cheers.laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0001 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0002 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0003 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0004 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0005 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0006 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0007 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0008 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0009 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

Justin also decided to keep his getting ready moments nice and simple and dressed in private. This allowed him to take a moment alone to read a beautifully written letter from Kendall.laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0010 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0011 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0012 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

The Ceremony

We whisked off to the church for their wedding ceremony as soon as the bride and groom were ready. Even though Catholic ceremonies tend to be a little long, there was never a moment when the upbeat energy radiating from this gathering dulled. There were plenty of moments of laughter throughout the service. Before we knew it, Kendall and Justin were pronounced ‘husband and wife’ and they were fist pumping down the aisle and through a flurry of ribbons as they exited their nuptials.laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0013 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0014 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0015 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0016 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0017 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0018 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0019 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0020 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0021 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0022 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

The Bridal Party

I had so much fun wrangling this rather large group! It was evident that this was deeply bonded group. I am thrilled with how the photos turned out. I especially loved the shade of green Kendall selected for her Bridesmaids’ gowns. It’s one of my favorite colors!laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0023 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0024 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0025 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0026 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0027 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0028 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0029 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0030 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0031 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

The Bride and Groom

Photogenic doesn’t even begin to describe Kendall and Justin. Kendall is literally what wedding photographer’s dreams are made of. Her intricate updo and sleek dress were the perfect coupling, made better only by her elegant veil. The photos are that much better because of perfect weather and sublime light. laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0032 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0033 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0034 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0035 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0036 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0037 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0038 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0039 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0046 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0044 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0045 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0041 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0042 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0043 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0047 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0048 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0049 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

The Reception

The best thing a bride and groom can do for their reception is to hire a live band. Live music brings so much energy to the room and every reception I have attended with it is over-the-top fun! I’m so glad Kendall and Justin made hiring a band a priority.laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0050 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0051 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0052 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0053 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0054 Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin

The sparkler exit was the crowning jewel of the night. I love these magical photos! I also love knowing it’s a moment my couples will display in their homes because it reminds them of one of the best days of their lives. It’s the definition of why I do what I do!laurel-hall-carmel-indiana-wedding-photography-_0055-scaled Indianapolis Wedding Photography: Kendall and Justin
