The Lilly House at Newfields provides a stunning, romantic backdrop for wedding ceremonies. Located on a 152-acre cultural campus in Indianapolis, this historic estate offers lush gardens and elegant architecture. Lilly House is part of Oldfields – a 26-acre historic estate at Newfields designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark. For example, Lilly House’s gardens were designed in the 1920s by the famed Olmsted Brothers. For a summer wedding film at Newfields in Indianapolis, the venue itself becomes a cinematic character – its art, nature, and historic charm fill every scene.

A Romantic Summer Ceremony at Lilly Terrace

The ceremony took place on the Lilly House Terrace under the open summer sky. Guests gathered among formal gardens and boxwood terraces for the couple’s vows. From this vantage point, the camera captured panoramic garden views and the old-world charm of the Oldfields estate at Newfields. It was a warm June afternoon, but the lush greenery and fountain features made the setting feel like a timeless wedding film. Filming at Newfields in Indianapolis truly highlights the romance.

Lilly Terrace adds history and elegance to an outdoor summer wedding. During the ceremony, Madalyn walked down a garden-lined path while Steve waited at the altar. Peonies, boxwoods, and fountains framed the couple in beautiful ways. Because the gardens are historic, the footage gains a sense of timeless romance as they are captured like a wedding film at Newfields in Indianapolis.

A Light-Filled Reception at Deer Zink Pavilion

After the ceremony, guests seamlessly transitioned indoors to the Deer Zink Pavilion for the reception. This venue is also known as the Randolph H. Deer Special Events Pavilion. It is a modern, glass-walled space within Newfields’ museum architecture. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the Sutphin Fountain and gardens, filling the room with natural light. In the wedding film, this space felt bright and airy – perfect for a seamless visual connection between nature and film at Newfields in Indianapolis.

In the Deer Zink Pavilion, we captured new moments: emotional speeches, laughter during the toasts, and the newlyweds’ first dance. Because the pavilion has walls of windows, we positioned cameras to include the glowing fountain in the background of many shots. This helped link the indoor celebrations back to the outdoor ceremony, shaping the perfect wedding film experience at Newfields in Indianapolis.
