I CAN NOT wait for you to feast your eyes on this gorgeous wedding inspiration shoot today! So many amazing vendors came together to make this possible and the outcome was spectacular!
My friend and fellow photographer, Beth Waterman, recently opened a new venue in Indianapolis called Ivory Foundry. It's a beautiful space and she has put so much love into the design. If you happen to know Beth, then you know she is very detail oriented and she keeps adding so many amazing touches to the venue! Beth really wants the Ivory Foundry to be a venue for everyone and she wanted to showcase that she supports and welcomes the LGBTQ+ community. The lovely Samantha of Samantha Mitchell Photography and myself came together to do a same-sex wedding inspiration shoot so the Ivory Foundry could showcase their support.
Beth let Samantha and I have free rein of the design for the shoot so we got to brainstorm and come up with the vision for the shoot. When Samantha and I got together to first talk about the shoot, we ended up having the exact same vision for the shoot- colorful pastel rainbow polka dot vibe. We got some amazing vendors on board for the shoot and each of them really made our vision come to life! (Be sure to check out the full vendor list at the end of the blog and give them some love!) One of Samantha's soon-to-be married couples, Riley and Brock, agreed to model for the shoot and they were great! We also had Marvin (who you may recognize from WLFI) come and be a stylized groom for the shoot (and he also stood in as the officiant). I have been DYING to photograph a groom with a cape so as soon as I knew we had Marvin for the shoot, I told Samantha that I had to make him a cape! All of my groom wearing a cape dreams came true!!!
