Brian & Shannon | September 5,2015

photo by Sami Renee Photography, Indianapolis Family + Wedding PhotographerBrian & Shannon had family and friends from all over the world come together to celebrate their marriage, and it’s no wonder: they are two of the kindest people I have ever met! From welcome cards when guests arrived at the hotel to the delicious send-off breakfast the morning after, every single detail of Shannon & Brian’s wedding weekend was thought out and taken care of. Not only was it well-planned, but man, was it FUN!! I am so excited to share their story with you today — it’s a beautiful one, friends!

I am always so glad when my couples choose to see each other before the ceremony — not only does it make the day so much more relaxing and fun, but the emotion is all the more REAL! Love these moments so much :)

After Brian & Shannon’s first look, it was off to the golf course! We were able to take all of our portraits at The Wyndgate, a gorgeous country club that Shannon’s family has belonged to for years. Be prepared for some floral amazingness — I love the colors Shannon picked out!

And then we were off! As a quick side note — if you ever have the chance to take photos on a golf course, I highly recommend golf carts! We were able to zoom all over the grounds for some amazing photos in record time! Plus, they were a blast :)

Shannon & her girls were able to step back into their comfy clothes as the bridal party enjoyed some Jimmy Johns in the down time — a perfect wedding day lunch as Brian proposed in front of Jimmy Johns!! :) photo by Sami Renee Photography, Indianapolis Family + Wedding Photographer
