Rachel and Nick had the most incredible ceremony at The Indiana State Museum and danced the night away with friends and family at the Indianapolis Zoo.

Rachel and Nick have been dating for a decade (since high school!), they dated throughout college and while Rachel was in medical school. Finally it was the perfect time to take the next step. They planned to get married in May at Indiana University, a location that meant so much to them both. Then a pandemic hit (WHY COVID, WHY!) After date changes, and so much uncertainty, Rachel and Nick decided to pick two entirely new venues to accommodate their day. It was quite the planning process, but they did it! They are officially married, and it was absolutely perfect. Rachel was BEAMING the entire day.

This was the first wedding I’ve ever shot with DOLPHINS! Check out the images below. It was so fun!!!

The minute I walked into the reception, multiple dauphins came up to the glass and were so excited to see us!!! I was in awe, and kept having to remind myself that I needed to take reception detail photos. Hands down these dolphins were the most amazing reception guests to date!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! I was never obsessed with dolphins, but now I’m definitely obsessed with these amazing creatures!!

Your wedding may not have been exactly as you planned, I think it turned out better. The day was perfect, you two are perfect and your day was extra amazing. I hope you had the most incredible honeymoon in Naples. Even though it wasn’t the honeymoon you originally planned for, I sure hope it was still so special for you both. Keep in touch, friends!!! You guys are the best!

With love,
