Black Iris Wedding Inspiration

Just off 116th street in Carmel, Black Iris Estate is sure to catch your eye as the perfect wedding venue. It’s charming and magnificent, all at once. Recently remodeled, the Black Iris has the appeal of a historic mansion with all the modern updates! A stunning bridal suite provides the perfect place for brides to get ready and a grand staircase provides the perfect place to share a first look with your groom!

The ballroom at Black Iris Estate is filled with beautiful chandeliers and large windows. It is truly perfect for a wedding! Just off the ballroom is a large patio that overlooks peaceful tree filled grounds. It’s so private – right in the heart of busy Carmel!

But just over the balcony on the patio is one of the best parts of Black Iris Estate! The Garden is up first. A stunning black gazebo is an immediate wow factor! It’s the perfect location for an outdoor ceremony! Follow the path just past the gazebo and over a wooden bridge and you will find The Willow Chapel. This is the newest Black Iris Estate ceremony location and it might be my personal favorite! I mean, I do have a dog named Willow after all. This ceremony location is absolutely breathtaking! The strong willow branches grow quickly and create the most whimsical ceremony location you’ll ever see!

This styled shoot was created to highlight the beauty of this truly incredible venue. We paired the stunning arches and installments from Blue Blossom Rentals with soft florals from Satin & Stems to create a romantic vibe. Satin & Stems also created the most incredible pink baby’s breath installment in the Willow Chapel!

Moist Cake Co. created the most darling mini cakes and A Classic Party Rental teamed with Every Little Thing Events to create the most stunning table inspiration with cozy millennial pink chairs from Build and Borrow. Black Swan Beauty gave our bride an incredible high pony that paired perfectly with the dress from The Wedding Studio Carmel. Our groom looked dapper in a navy suit from DC Tux. Noteworthy Expressions created the most beautiful menus and stationery that paired perfectly with the theme. If you are looking for a wedding professional, be sure to reach out to the incredible vendors on this team!

An Omni Severin Wedding in Downtown Indianapolis

Grace and Jeremy’s wedding day began at the Omni Severin Hotel on a sunny November afternoon in downtown Indianapolis. The Monumental Marathon had closed the streets, including the shuttle route to the church. So they walked instead. As New Yorkers, it felt completely normal. Suits, dress, city streets and all.

A Rainy Goodstone Inn Wedding in Middleburg, Virginia

Middleburg, Virginia feels like a town written in cursive. Stone walls curve along the road, meadows stretch toward the Blue Ridge, and everything moves at a slower, more deliberate pace. There’s hay in the air, history underfoot, and a sense that nothing here is in a rush. Along the way, a hand-painted sign mentions an old cat crossing. The kind of detail that only exists in places like this.

Indiana Statehouse Engagement Session

I’m always a little surprised that the Indiana Statehouse is… in Indiana. It’s grand and detailed, filled with natural light but still moody in the best way. Gilded chandeliers. Marble everywhere. Sweeping staircases that feel more Europe than Midwest.

Our 2026 Wedding Wishlist

The best weddings don’t feel overly planned. They feel well loved. The timeline exists, but no one’s staring at it. The details matter, but no one’s stressing about them. People are present. The energy is good. The shoes come off at some point.

How Family Photos Can Feel Calm Instead of Chaotic

Family photos tend to get a bad reputation.
Too many people. Too much noise. A sense that everyone is waiting on someone else.

But they don’t have to feel that way. And when they don’t, they photograph beautifully.
