Firstly arrived at the Omni Severin Hotel to meet with Sarah from Plum and Poppy and Danielle Harris Photography. Eventually, went through the timeline and parking plans for the ceremony at St. John The Evangelist. We eventually had a few moments to capture the flat lay and some minor details like Mcnamara Florist’s florals. They especially have some of the best wedding florals in the state of Indiana, and they are my favorite!

Overall, Maddie and Raymond’s wedding ceremony at St. John the Evangelist was nothing short of beautiful and breathtaking! Raymond was emotion when he first got to see his soon-to-be wife walk down the aisle with her dad. Later, in this blog, I will go over the key points of hiring A-Team Vendors.

Furthermore, in downtown Indianapolis at Scottish Rite, Danielle Harris Photography and I captured the bridal party just outside their venue. With this in mind, just a tip with the groomsmen; yes I know there are 2 buttons on your jacket. However, you only want the top one buttoned only. In conclusion, the reason for this, is to avoid unflattering figures. So having the 2nd button, buttoned will make your jacket feel tighter, and the bottom flaps will cause you to have an unusually larger waist. Just so the camera DOESN’T add 10 extra pounds, you’re welcome, guys!

I met Sarah from Plum and Poppy just weeks before the wedding. Meanwhile, we got to meet each other for the first time at a coffee shop and we talked about the wedding industry. Furthermore, I began to notice that we shared similar interests in the wedding industry. For the most part, we are both highly dedicated to our couples, providing a superior client experience from our first meeting to delivering our final product.

Sarah is certainly organized, quick thinking, and a phenomenal problem solver! She also provides strong communication skills and great people skills, clearly communicating to keep everyone on time and on the same page.

Although, weddings rarely go to the exact plan. Sarah thinks on her feet and squashes all last-minute challenges so effortlessly. Whether it’s a vendor delay or wardrobe malfunctions, she always has a backup plan.

Given that, the Scottish Rite is the perfect setting to bring your wedding vision to life. If you are looking for a stunning and elegant wedding in Indianapolis, Scottish Rite is it!
