Emma & Jon-Luc are wed. Their RItz Charles wedding in Carmel was an exquisite wedding day celebration with stunning details and chic elements. After a beautiful rooftop proposal during a trip to Nashville, Emma and Jon-Luc set out to plan their ideal wedding day at the Ritz Charles. Much like the proposal, the bride and groom were most looking forward to celebrating their love, with all of their friends and family at their side. They envisioned a wedding day where everyone they loved gathered against the backdrop of a sea of elegantly designed florals and linens. When their wedding day arrived, it was the embodiment of everything they hoped for.
To prepare for the day, Emma dressed at her parent’s home. It’s not uncommon for my brides to get ready at their venue or even a nearby hotel. But Emma’s family home was more stunning than any bridal suite I could have imagined. In front of the fireplace, Emma was adorned with bridal jewelry and slipped on her something blue shoes. Once dressed, she asked for a first look with the members of her wedding party. Dressed in powder blue floor-length gowns, Emma’s wedding party was overcome with joy and excitement when they first laid eyes on her in her wedding dress. After a few cherished moments spent with her mother and father, Emma was off to Our Lady of Mount Carmel to meet Jon-Luc for their ceremony.
A Ritz Charles Wedding in Carmel Indiana
Known for its elegance and splendor, the Ritz Charles is a wedding venue in Carmel. With a selection of reception venues, the Ritz Charles offers couples the ability to plan the wedding day of their dreams, in their own unique vision. For Emma and Jon-Luc, it was an indoor ballroom celebration with soft lighting and a dance floor big enough to accommodate their guest list.
The color palette for the day brought together soft creamy tones with accents of watercolor blue. Tying together the overall feeling of an elegant affair, chic linens were used to create an atmosphere of refinement. A towering three-tier white cake, accented with a silk bow, and floral arrangements in gold vases added a dash of whimsy. Overall Emma and Jon-Luc’s Ritz Charles wedding day was full of sentiment.
Carmel Wedding Photographer
As Emma and Jon-Luc’s Carmel wedding photographer, I understood the importance that their family and friends played in their lives. My overall approach to their photography experience was to emphasize the moments they shared with family and friends, as they unfolded. From Emma’s gift exchange with her father to moments getting ready with her Mother. Every aspect of their day held great significance. There was a vibrant ribbon exit awaiting Emma and Jon-Luc after their ceremony. With moments spent reveling in the glow of their wedding day. From beginning to end, I was there to capture every kiss, every stolen glance, and every smile filled with delight. You can see some of my favorite moments from Emma and Jon-Luc’s Ritz Charles wedding, in the photos below.
