If you're planning a wedding at Crowne Plaza Union Station in downtown Indianapolis, prepare to be inspired by Cynthia and Russell's unforgettable day. As a wedding photographer and videographer in Indianapolis, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing their timeless celebration at one of Indy’s most historic and romantic venues.

Cynthia’s morning started with joy and champagne, surrounded by her bridesmaids in satin robes as they popped bottles and laughed like sisters. The bridal suite was full of elegance and energy—perfect for stunning detail shots of her gown, sparkling heels, and accessories.

She looked iconic in her custom gown, dripping in crystals and perfectly tailored to her curves. One of my favorite moments was the “mirror touch” with Russell—a powerful and emotional exchange before the ceremony that captured their deep connection without even saying a word.

Their ceremony took place in one of the beautiful ballrooms at Crowne Plaza, where blush-toned bridesmaid dresses, soft drapery, and a breathtaking floral arch set the scene. The unity sand ceremony and their first kiss as husband and wife were emotional highlights I was honored to capture.

Afterward, we explored the venue’s signature train car area—one of the most unique wedding photo locations in Indianapolis. The lighting, the lines, and the atmosphere allowed us to create dramatic, fashion-inspired portraits that matched their classic and luxurious style.

The reception details were just as thoughtful: elegant tablescapes, crystal candleholders, and a floral cake that looked almost too pretty to cut. Cynthia and Russell’s entire day was filled with intentional design, love, and style.

If you’re searching for a luxury wedding photographer in Indianapolis, or looking for inspiration from a real Crowne Plaza Union Station wedding, this celebration proves that timeless elegance never goes out of style.

Let’s make your day iconic—photo, video, and unforgettable storytelling.
