The Vision

Star crossed lovers meet in this whimsical night and day cover shoot! Lisa Norris, owner of Indianapolis wedding planning company Lisa Norris Events, wanted to bring organic natural balance into this shoot. “We chose the theme of sun and moon because they each represent balance much like a couple in love balances each other,” Lisa explains. By using Classic Blue, the Pantone Color of the Year, the team cultivated a modern style with sunbursts of color. Captured by Indianapolis photographer Alison Mae Photography, this shoot will leave you starstruck!

The Venue

The Neidhammer’s sun-shaped stage was the perfect backdrop for this shoot’s sun and moon theme. Soaring 25-foot ceilings bring warmth and light into this historic Indianapolis venue. Modern rustic touches shine in the exposed brick and gorgeous low-hanging chandeliers.

The Florals

These florals give this shoot a breath of crisp evening air. West Lafayette florist Rubia Flower Market combined crisp white roses with blooms reflecting Classic Blue for an overall burst of soft color. “Although we integrated some blue with linens and tux, we decided to veer from the norm by focusing on the blue in the florals as well which is a bit different,” Lisa notes. The efflorescent crescent moon backdrop is an absolute showstopper! Filled with Classic Blue hydrangeas, this whimsical take on a floral arch is the perfect ethereal wow factor for this shoot.

The Look

This bride is channeling her inner sun goddess! The straight lines on her glittering Nancy’s Bridal Boutique gown showcase the reflection of a sunray. The model’s curly updo and soft makeup, styled by Lavender and Hops Style Lounge, bring a subtle elegance to her look. The groom’s stylish suit, provided by The Groomsman Suit, shows off his sharp style. Together they make the perfect balanced duo!

The DÉcor

Sunbursts abound in the details of this shoot. Rich gold accents shine through with the tablescape’s chargers, flatware and chiavari chairs provided by Indiana Wedding Decorators. The style flows to the stationery, where Wedding Stationery by PSR Designs perfectly captured a burst of light. Sensing an oncoming trend of customization, the team used individual golden star place cards from ZCreate Design for each wedding guest to have a fun gift to take home.

The Cake & Desserts

This shoot’s night-inspired confection gives plenty of delicious texture! Indianapolis bakery Artisan Bakery truly stole the show with this artistic rendering of the couple’s starry love story. From the frosted trees placed around the bottom to the celestial elements decorating the tiers, the details are almost too pretty to eat!
