India and Brian were married on a gorgeous Spring day at The Patrician in Schererville, Indiana. The outdoor ceremony was awash with sunlight as the afternoon sky had no clouds on this Sunday before Memorial Day. We stepped away from the reception at dusk to take the above shot with the sun setting and casting it's orange glow upon the sky.

Our day began in the bridal suite with fun and laughter courtesy of the flower girls who absolutely love the many mirrors available to them.

The ceremony took place at the west gazebo area of the banquet hall on Route 30. Friends and family filled the seats with most wearing sunglasses to shield them from the rays as temperatures rose above 80 degrees.

The sky was a perfect blue overlooking the gazebo and blended in perfectly with India's wedding colors.

As usual we took family photos right after the ceremony and then I had the couple take a short stroll among the greenery behind the gazebo.

For India's bridal portraits we tucked into one of the ballrooms for a darkened, dramatic look and focused on the back of her dress.

The afternoon reception was pure family fun with lots of laughs during the speeches as well as another happy flower girl enjoying the sunlight streaming in from the ballroom windows.

The first dance also had it's share of laughs as the bridal party encouraged the couple from the head table.
