Lauren and Jon’s wedding at Bash Event Center was filled with everything you want in a wedding day—love, laughter, heartfelt tears, and a modern, elegant vibe that reflected them perfectly.

As a wedding photographer and videographer serving Carmel, Indiana, I was honored to capture every part of their experience, from the emotional first look to their tearful ceremony and unforgettable portraits.

The day started in Bash’s bright bridal suite, where Lauren got ready surrounded by laughter and love. Her gown featured embroidered lace florals and pearl accents, and her golden veil—delicately embroidered with botanical details—brought a fashion-forward yet timeless elegance to her bridal look. Her floral hairpiece added just the right pop of whimsy.

One of the most touching moments? Watching Jon hold back tears as Lauren walked down the aisle. His eyes said everything. Their ceremony, held beneath soft string lights and framed by white shiplap walls, was intimate and heartfelt. When they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, the room erupted with applause—and I made sure to capture every joyful tear and celebration.

The venue was styled with long wood farmhouse tables, minimalist florals in vintage bud vases, and twinkling lights overhead—making it a dream setting for modern wedding photos. Outside, we took romantic editorial-style portraits along the venue’s textured white brick and black garage doors, creating timeless wedding photography that felt both cinematic and sincere.

They even had a kids’ corner, complete with books and crafts—proof that this couple thought of every guest.

From the dessert table (hello, citrus butter cookies!) to the emotional vows and all the laughter in between, Lauren and Jon’s day was one for the books.
