Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

Weddings

As I was preparing this blog post, it made me think of a gorgeous historic venue called Black Iris Estate. I would be ecstatic to book clients here for some Carmel, Indiana wedding photography! I deeply adore historic architecture and Black Iris Estate checks off all of my timeless, romantic, and luxurious wedding boxes. Today I am sharing one of my all-time favorite weddings because it was so classy, elegant, and completely on par with my brand. carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0001 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0003 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0002 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

Getting Ready

I started the day out by meeting with Kyle and his friends and family in his hotel room. These men looked so dapper in their classic black tuxedos!carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0004 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0006 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0005 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

Likewise, Jackie spent the morning in her suite glamming up with her girls. Every moment they shared was punctuated by the strong bond these ladies share.carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0007 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0008 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0009 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0010 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0011 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0012 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0013 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0014 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0015 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

The First Look

Tucked between large marble columns, Jackie and Daniel laid eyes on each other for the first time that day. They couldn’t have been any happier to see each other and commence their wedding day festivities together. carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0016 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0017 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

The Bride and Groom

Jackie and Daniel’s collection of bridal portraits are some of my all time favorites. I just love how beautiful their connection is and how well their style complimented my own and the historical architecture in the area. carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0018 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0024 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0019 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0027 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0020 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0025 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0021 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0022 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0026 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0028 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0023 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

The Bridal Party

Nothing is classier than black tie attire. This Bridal Party was the epitome of posh and matched so well with all of the stately backdrops we were working with. carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0029 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0030 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0031 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0032 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0033 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0034 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

The Ceremony

There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as Jackie’s father led her down the aisle. I was especially smitten with Jackie’s blusher veil. It was so charming when her father lifted it and hugged and kissed his baby girl before giving her away to Kyle. The happy couple exchanged rings and vows and then had a wine ceremony in place of a candle or sand ceremony. It was a wonderfully unique moment during their ceremony. carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0035 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0036 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0037 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0038 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0039 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0040 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0041 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0042 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0043 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0044 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0045 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0046 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0047 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0048 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0049 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle

The Reception

After the wedding ceremony, guests were ushered into an adjoining ballroom where the reception was held. The already awe-inspiring space was embellished with fresh flowers and other sumptuous details. Another unique choice Kyle and Jackie made was to have a cheesecake in place of a traditional wedding cake. The graceful, petite confection was the perfect compliment to the magnificence of the ambience in the ballroom.carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0050 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0051 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0052 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0053 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0054 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0055 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0056 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0057 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0058 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0059 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle carmel-indiana-black-iris-estate-wedding-photography-_0060 Historic Carmel, Indiana Wedding Photography: Jackie & Kyle
