Kelsey and Tom’s Sanctuary on Penn Wedding Day

The Sanctuary on Penn sits nestled amongst the city sidewalks in downtown Indianapolis. Ivy crawls up the sides of the brick walls, stopping only to frame the bright red doors and stained glass flawlessly. This former church building is full of surprises and has a charm all its own. Just like Kelsey and Tom. Their Sanctuary on Penn wedding day was the perfect reflection of their love story and it was a joy to capture!

Her floral printed gown accompanied her bouquet of fresh white lilies perfectly. For her shoes, Kelsey opted for the iconic blue Manolo Blahnik heels. They added the perfect pop of color to her wedding day look! She was radiant!

Once they were ready for the day, Kelsey and Tom shared a private first look before heading two blocks down for their wedding portraits. Kelsey and Tom are one of those couples who can find the humor in anything, so watching them laugh their way through the day was a blast! And once we connected with the wedding party for their photos, the laughs continued! What a great group of friends!

The Reception

When it was time for the reception, Kelsey and Tom danced the night away with one another. Guests enjoyed donuts from Quack Daddy donuts, a favorite of ours from our hometown of Pendleton! Tom’s family circled around to take turns dancing with Tom’s grandmother and somewhere in the crowd a cowbell and a tambourine could be found. Finally, Kelsey and Tom shared a sparkler exit with their closest friends. It was the perfect way to end the night!
