Nestled just a whisper west of Indianapolis, Lizton Lodge in Lizton, Indiana, is a 22,000-square-foot estate that feels like it was dreamed up with a camera in mind. As wedding photographers, we see this venue as a living frame—a place where light, texture, and emotion collide to create images that hum with your story. Here’s what makes Lizton Lodge a darling for capturing your day, from the first flutter of nerves to the last sparkler wave.
The moment you pass through the iron gates, a tree-lined drive winds you through Hendricks County’s rolling fields, teasing the seclusion of the estate ahead. It’s a quiet prelude, the kind that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a secret world—perfect for those pre-ceremony shots where anticipation hangs in the air like morning mist. We love catching couples here, stealing a moment amidst the greenery, the dappled light painting their excitement in soft strokes.
Lizton Lodge offers a palette of possibilities, indoors and out, each corner whispering its own kind of magic. The white hall, with its expansive elegance, drinks in natural light, making it a dream for ceremonies or receptions where every detail—your dress, the florals, the way you look at each other—glows. Outside, the canopy-lit courtyard feels like a little galaxy of its own, strung with market lights that wink at the stars. It’s a spot where we can capture the blur of your first dance, the twirl of your veil, or the way your guests’ laughter lights up the night.
For something more intimate, there’s a wooded nook where ancient trees frame ceremonies with a hush of shade. We’ve seen couples say their vows here, the sunlight sneaking through leaves to kiss their faces—a moment that feels like it’s just for you (and our lenses, of course). And if you’re dreaming of a cocktail hour with a twist, the estate’s indoor basketball court, affectionately dubbed the ballroom, can shift into a space for mingling or smaller gatherings, its versatility a quiet gift for your timeline.
The bridal suite is a love letter to preparation—sprawling, sunlit, with two full bathrooms and a balcony overlooking the pond. It’s where we capture the flutter of your lashes as you step into your dress, the way your best friend’s eyes shine when she sees you. There’s a closet here bigger than most bedrooms, a playful touch that makes us smile (and gives us room to shoot those detail shots of your shoes and heirlooms). The groom’s suite doesn’t skimp either—a lounge with a pool table, bar, gaming theater, and even ping pong. We love sneaking in to catch the guys mid-laugh, ties half-tied, their camaraderie as much a part of the day as the vows.
What sets Lizton Lodge apart is its rhythm—it flows with your vision. Whether you’re dreaming of an outdoor ceremony with the estate’s grounds as your backdrop or an indoor affair where chandeliers cast a warm glow, the options feel endless. The staff here are like silent artists themselves, ensuring every moment unfolds smoothly, leaving us free to chase the shots that matter: your grandfather’s tearful smile, the way your partner’s hand steadies yours, the chaos of the dance floor when the DJ plays that song.
Lizton Lodge doesn’t just provide a space—it hands you a toolkit. Access to decor like arches, table runners, and fabric means you can dress the place up without breaking a sweat. Pricing for Friday-to-Sunday weddings ranges from $6,500 to $8,900, giving you the entire estate for 12 hours, with costs shifting based on the season and day. And if you’re tying the knot in 2024 or later, note that they require one of their alcohol vendors to handle the bar— one less thing on your wedding day checklist.
From a photographer’s lens, Lizton Lodge is a playground of light and texture. The grounds offer endless backdrops—think sprawling lawns, wooded paths, and that dreamy courtyard—while the interiors balance grandeur with intimacy. It’s a place that lets us chase the unscripted: the way your veil catches the breeze, the shadow of your hand in theirs, the glow of a hundred tiny lights as you exit into forever.
wedding guests will feel how special this space is when they drive down the tree-lined drive to this elegant venue. Lizton Lodge was once a private residence and is now a wedding venue located on 100 acres in Hendricks County and offers three indoor ceremony/reception spaces and four outdoor ceremony/reception spaces. The bridal suite is one of, if not the largest, in Indianapolis and is complete with a walkout balcony perfect for pictures.
