This intimate scene, captured at the elegant Ritz Charles in Carmel, Indiana, tells a story of love, celebration, and thoughtful details- and is absolutely Insta-worthy! On a beautifully textured tablecloth, a slice of rich red velvet cake sits on a white plate, surrounded by a glass of champagne and discarded glasses, and centerpieces. Scattered around are Polaroids I captured during the day—candid snapshots of the couple’s wedding day, from romantic embraces to joyful group moments—left as a heartfelt keepsake for the newlyweds. To complete the gesture, I gifted them a bottle of champagne, a token to toast their new journey together and to celebrate with when their wedding day gallery is delivered. This image captures the warmth and intimacy of their celebration.
At Ritz Charles, known for its timeless sophistication and versatile event spaces, every detail of your wedding day can be tailored to reflect your love story. For couples, these Polaroids are a perfect way to relive the magic of your day, offering a tangible memory to cherish long after the celebration ends. As your wedding photographer, I focus on capturing both the big moments and these small, meaningful details, ensuring your gallery is filled with love, nostalgia, and joy.
