Josh and Annika: A Timeless Wedding at Laurel Hall

Some weddings feel like they belong in the pages of a classic novel, and Annika and Josh’s wedding at Laurel Hall was exactly that—elegant, romantic, and timeless. Nestled in the heart of Indianapolis, Laurel Hall is a historic estate with stunning French-inspired architecture, making it the perfect setting for a wedding that felt both regal and intimate. As a wedding photographer specializing in film photography, I was honored to capture every heartfelt moment of their day.

A Classic Love Story at a Historic Venue

Annika and Josh envisioned a timeless wedding, one that exuded effortless romance and sophistication. From the moment I arrived at Laurel Hall, I could see how perfectly this venue complemented their vision. With its grand stone façade, arched windows, and ivy-clad walls, the estate felt like something out of a European fairytale. Inside, the sweeping staircases and intricate architectural details provided the most breathtaking backdrops for wedding photography.
