Hoffman / vanMerveldt Wedding

August 1, 2009

Indianapolis, Indiana

Ceremony: Epworth United Methodist Church

Reception: Indiana State Museum






After shooting an engagement session for Jourdan and Corey back in the fall, we knew this wedding was going to be classy, energetic, and that their pictures were going to ROCK! Talk about a photogenic couple!! We met up with the wedding party at EUMC for all their getting ready shots. The grounds were a perfect setting for the fairytale forest shots they wanted.

After a personal and romantic service, we loaded up the limos and headed to the Indiana State Museum. I realize I’m going to start sounding like a broken record, but ISM is a fantastic place for weddings! If you’re looking for vintage charm with unique modern flair, I don’t think you could find a better venue in Indianapolis. The staff is professional, upscale, EASY to WORK WITH and from a photographer’s point of view the building and grounds are great for creative yet sophisticated shots.

This group knew how to party! The cake, the toasts, the DANCING… it was a party till dawn and a night everyone will remember for years to come.

Jourdan and Corey, you guys are awesome! We had so much fun getting to know you and being a part of your special day. We wish you all the best- CONGRATULATIONS!
