Ethereal Barn Wedding: A Style Shoot at The Barn in Zionsville

Whimsical. Devastatingly lovely. Captivating. There are no shortage of words to describe this inspiration shoot designed and delivered by wedding planner and designer Sarah Keeker of Plum & Poppy and photographer Cassie Conforti of Conforti Photography. With luscious greenery, flower crowns and a pony named Merryleggs, this enchanting style shoot looks like it was fabricated straight out of a C.S. Lewis novel. “We wanted to create something that truly showed all of our favorite things: lush greenery dripping from every surface, tons of candles and timeless elegance in a neutral pallet,” said Sarah.

We can't get enough of the metallic sequin details and Taylor's genuinely happy smile!

Tanner, who works at Premier Arts, the resident theater company of the Lerner Theater in Elkhart, had been performing in the musical “South Pacific” when right after the curtain call, the music changed abruptly and the One Direction song “Kiss You” started playing. Everyone in the cast began dancing and passing hearts down the line. The hearts read “Will You Marry Me?” Tanner jumped over the line of dancers at the same time a confetti cannon went off. When the song ended, he got down on one knee and proposed in front of more than a thousand people.

The Wedding Story of... Matt and Jenna Butler

There is really something that can't quite be put into words about high school sweethearts who marry one another. The truth is, it gives us all a little hope to hear about two people who made it through the dynamics of growing up and the inescapable changes of life. Love really proves itself when two people can turn young love into forever love. That sentiment is evident in the wedding of Matt and Jenna Butler, a couple who fell in love as teenagers.
