We loved filming for Ryan and Parissa on their epic Indianapolis wedding day! It was a perfect day for their Arts Garden and Conrad Hotel wedding. The smell of fall in the air, trees turning color, plus the hustle and bustle of the city it was all energizing. But even more importantly the weather like the couple was beautiful!

If you’re a bride or groom thinking about hosting your wedding date in the fall go for it! Fall is definitely one of the most beautiful times of the year to be married. For one it won’t be sweltering hot, and two fall weather is just romantic by nature. Three, you get amazing results in photo and video when there’s a little color in the trees. As you’ll see in this video there wasn’t much color but just a little goes a long ways when professionally filmed. The other thing about fall is the sun is lower in the sky. This gives a softer look for your photos and video. Overhead light is brighter, more contrasting and has to be worked around. This is why you always see wedding videographers and photographers scrambling to find shade on a wedding day. It’s not just to stay cool!

We began the day at The Conrad Hotel. It was here where we captured video of the couple getting ready for the day. Our philosophy is to never waste an opportunity. This means we don’t just arrive at a location and wait for the big or formal events to start. We capture all the nuances of the wedding day to best tell the story. For Ryan and Parissa this meant capturing their getting ready, reading letters, wedding details, jewelry, first looks, and a wedding party video session on Monument circle!

It seemed to be non stop activities for these two all day. From filming the hair and makeup to Ryan suiting up and reading his letter. Parissa and her bridesmaids had a blast getting dressed, and enjoying their time together. Parissa and her father where holding back tears during their first meeting. Their traditional Eastern ceremony was very beautiful. The joy was palpable and their story grew richer with every authentic moment. These are the moments that make the wedding day story so personal.

After the Arts Garden ceremony it was a short hop over to the Conrad Hotel banquet hall for their cocktail hour and reception. The evening was full of beautiful toasts and dances. Many thanks to the Wedding planning team Plum and Poppy for introducing the couple to us. And thanks to Parissa and Ryan for inviting us to play a role in their wedding. Our best to the beautiful couple!
