Summer Wedding At The Patrician

June 22, 2020 Steve Vansak

The newlyweds embrace under dramatic clouds at The Patrician in Schererville, Indiana.

This past weekend saw a terrific summer wedding at The Patrician in Schererville, Indiana with Samantha and Zach welcoming friends and family to their Disney themed wedding.

Our morning started out at Vanis Salon - Schererville where I captured hair and makeup while Sam and her bridesmaids had some fun with their protective masks.

Before the ceremony, I took the girls out for pictures and then brought them back inside and then it was the guy’s turn. Second photographer Kay helped me out with groomsmen prep and portraits as well.

Samantha’s Dad walked her down the aisle for the ballroom wedding inside of The Patrician. Not only did the flower girl and ring bearer decorate and carry the rings, but they also rolled up the runner afterwards. Somebody give them an tip in ice cream please!!

After family photos it was time for wedding party group pictures and of course the newlyweds.

Soon they’d be introduced by Ever After Events who DJ’d the event along with decorating the room. 219 Productions offered up their famous mirrored photo booth as well. And here is where the Disney theme definitely lit up the room. The wedding cake came courtesy of Cakes By Karen.

After some very comedic speeches from the father of the bride and well as many members of the wedding party, it was time for the first dance.

Outdoor Fall Wedding Ceremony At The Patrician Banquet Center

October 3, 2016 Steve Vansak

Bride and groom share a kiss hidden by trees in St. John, Indiana with sun breaking through.

I think our bride Alyssa simply willed away the rain on her wedding day!! It did rain. However, when we were scheduled for outdoor photos the only water we felt was simply dripping from a few tree branches. When The Patrician asked if she wanted to move the ceremony indoors, she said 'nope' and outside it was with no rain.

Our day started with bridal prep as I got to know the 10 bridesmaids a little bit as they transitioned from hoodies and jeans to robes to eventually their lovely blue dresses.

Alyssa and Dan had a wonderful first look / reveal at Lake Hills Clubhouse and surrounding lake in St. John, Indiana. The 20 person wedding party cheered them on and then second photographer Kerrie photographed the guys and off I went with the girls.

The soon to be bride and groom live in the neighborhood and I imagine they have visited the lake pier many times. Mother of the bride brought us a chalkboard and we took a few images for their Thank You Cards.

The girls stood no chance in their heels with the wet grass, but the guys didn't mind a bit of mud on their shoes.

Since Alyssa and Dan lived so close, we hopped over to their home for a family portrait with the two dogs. Then it was a limousine ride back to The Patrician for their outdoor, Fall wedding ceremony.

A full house with standing room only was present for the outdoor ceremony at The Patrician Banquet Center in Schererville, Indiana. I love the happy, joyous look of the bride and groom just after the first kiss.

Alyssa is a nurse and Dan is a police officer and the best man and maid of honor did their best to honor them / roast them by dressing in the appropriate uniforms during introductions. The wedding cake topper had the two dogs make an appearance and the room was beautifully decorated for Fall.

Summer Wedding At The Patrician Banquet Center

Carla and Rob had a wonderful, nautical themed summer wedding at The Patrician in Schererville, Indiana. It was a steamy 96 degrees, but they didn't let that keep them from their outdoor wedding in front of the gazebo.

Temperatures were a lot cooler in the morning as the bridesmaids took over the bridal suite in the loft. Carla's dominant blue wedding color showed off prominently in her garter and we used the twin as a prop for detail pictures.

The bridesmaids blue dresses were stunning. They were a great bunch as I took them out in the heat for some fun wedding photos. Second photographer Kerrie and myself took the guys out next and then it was ceremony time.

Happy tears began falling as Carla and Rob were married underneath the bright, glowing sun. They poured sand to symbolize coming together and marched back inside the Patrician where we began family photos.

After some fun wedding party photos at the back gazebo, I whisked the bride and groom away for a little while and had them take a romantic stroll along the rustic fence and winding road. Since the sun was so bright in the sky, a romantic silhouette of the two of them seemed in order. Soon it would be time for introductions, dinner and dancing!!

Wedding At St. Mary's Catholic Church In Griffith, Indiana

Michelle and Derrick's Fall wedding at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Griffith saw them surrounded by a large group of family and friends. And, as you can tell from the image above, some very large celebratory bubbles as well.

Our day started with bridal prep at The Patrician where the reception would also take place. It was a whirlwind of activity with hairspray, make up, laughter, champagne and more.

Derrick's mom brought along baby pictures of the groom to show off while Kristina, MOH and sister of the bride displayed stuffed bears representing the bride and groom as part of the decor.

I photographed the bride and bridesmaids at The Patrician while my second photographer photographed the guys near the church. Then it was off for a first look with Dad and then the ceremony.

I love the long aisle way at St. Mary's Church in Griffith and the balcony that gives me a bird's eye view of the ceremony. It's a lovely church and it was filled with love and laughter during Michelle and Derrick's wedding vows.

After family pictures it was off to Carmelite Shrine in Munster for some hidden forest, Fall wedding photos.

The Patrician was filled with a purple hue for the celebration. Wine was distributed to every guest and also served as a table placard. The toasts were funny and heartfelt and the cake was cut and eaten. It was now time for dancing and fun!!
