Indianapolis Wedding by Mindy Hiatt
Greetings sweet readers,
A Thanksgiving wedding doesn’t have to scream orange, rust and turkeys. Don’t get me wrong I am a huge fan of orange and rust, and turkeys for that matter. However sometimes the unexpected is welcome. Such is the case with this amazingly lovely wedding with its purple, pops of yellow and soft grey. This wedding was captured in Indianapolis by the uber talented Mindy Hiatt Photography. Julie and Ryan make the sweetest couple don’t you think?
From Mindy Hiatt Photography:
“What’s sweeter than pecan pie? Marrying the love of your life surrounded by friends, family, and Thanksgiving joy. Julie and Ryan were married Thanksgiving weekend at Our Lady Mt. Carmel Catholic Church, and celebrated afterwards at the fabulous Marriot downtown Indianapolis. Julie, the fourth generation in her family to be married in Hamilton County, wore a beautiful, lace wedding dress and carried flowers inspired by the United Kingdom’s newest princess, Kate Middleton. Before heading to the reception, we stopped on Julie’s front porch to capture a few moments of happiness in photos. We also snapped a few shots in front of the Morton Monument on the east side of the Indiana Statehouse. Ryan and Julie met while they were studying at Purdue at no other than an Ugly Sweater Party; a hilarious affair where attendees wear the most fantastic, outrageous, usually holiday-themed sweater they can find. It only makes sense that the couples’ special day also happened to fall on the traditional Oaken Bucket Game—and their alma mater took home the prize that day over rival IU! Encircled with friends from high school, college, and all parts of their life, Julie and Ryan Morton begun their life together.”
Congratulations Julie and Ryan, thank you for sharing your day with us!

Dancing in Boston by Megan Dandeles Photography
Greetings sweet readers,
So I am a huge fan of themed engagement shoots. You know the type with props and meaningful items, they always look very personal and evoke such feeling.
However, somtimes I think just taking a walk, enjoying coffee and dancing in the park under willow trees to the sound of street musicians is magical.
This engagement session by Megan Dandeles takes my breath away. Downtown Boston in October is the setting for these two loves. Newbury street to Boston Common and a Starbucks in between sounds like an afternoon full of love.
From Christine, the bride to be:
“My fiancé Sheldon and I love Boston and knew that the gorgeous parks and architecture would make the perfect backdrop for our engagement session. On a crisp fall day we ventured out into the city with our photographer, Megan Dandeles, and spent a fabulous afternoon together.
Our favorite moment from the e-session happened when we were about to say our goodbyes to Megan. We heard a trumpet in the distance and decided we had to find where the music was coming from. We found the musician by the pond under some willow trees and asked if he’d play us a song, that’s when he began “only you”, and while serenaded we danced in the park. It was a fabulous ending to a great day.
We’re so lucky to be working with such a talented photographer. Seriously, If Megan can turn a day in the city into this, I can’t even imagine how spectacular our wedding pictures will be!”
Christine’s outfits came from Anthropologie, Silence & Noise, H&M, Shoes: Dolce Vita
Sheldon’s outfits came from Kenneth Cole, Marc Ecko, Buffalo David Biton, Shoes: Kenneth Cole, Aldo
Thank you so much Megan Dandeles Photography for sharing this day with us. Congratulations to Christine and Sheldon, I cant wait to see the wedding pictures!

San Diego Wedding by Joielala Photographie
Greetings sweet readers,
Sometimes I see a wedding and immediately become friends with the couple. Its just a shame that I actually don’t know them because these two are just so cool! When I saw this beautiful couple and their amazing wedding I thought OH my word! I was in awe of Sarah and Troy’s obvious love for one another and the details, oh how I love the details! This is one seriously romantic wedding with the antique chandeliers, bow ties, men in hats, and the cutest table decor idea. All captured by the amazing Joielala Photographie.
Serious style! Congratulations Sarah and Troy!
