It’s not every day you have the opportunity to photograph a lifelong friend’s wedding, but it happened this past weekend! Tiffany and her little sister (also maid of honor), Eileen, were like sisters to my sisters as we grew up together in the same church.

Whenever you need someone who will tell it to you straight with a smile and a laugh, Tiffany is your girl. This lady is fierce, super kind, a friend to all no matter your age or life stage, and loves with deep compassion as a special education teacher.

When we heard about Brandon, our ears immediately perked up because everyone who knows Tiffany knows she’s a total catch! We first met Brandon at my parents’ house in Indiana even though Brandon hails from Chicago. Brandon has tons of charisma, an easygoing yet outgoing personality, and perfectly complements Tiffany in every way.

Together, they are total foodies who love walking everywhere and going on Costco dates (which totally counts as a love language in our book)! We love our shared connections to Carmel & Chicago and can’t wait to walk alongside them in their married life as Mr. & Mrs. Ng together :)

Below are sweet highlights from this simple yet intimate wedding day!

The most lovely bridesmaid reveal! Clearly the back of Tiffany’s dress wow-ed :)

The cutest trio: Eileen (sister), Tiffany, and their mom, Pamela.

How we love first looks!! We had their first look outside of their ceremony venue and church we attended growing up, Chinese Community Church of Indianapolis.

God clearly shone through as the center of Tiffany & Brandon’s relationship during their ceremony.

I love shooting at the Carmel Civic Center because it’s a hidden gem in Carmel! Tiffany and Brandon’s bridal party exemplified nothing short of FUN! We loved that everyone felt like one big family and had so many fun ideas for group pictures.

As photographers, it was a total dream!

The groomsmen each had custom designed jackets that looked super snazzy. Such a special touch!

Iconic “dab” photo for the win.

We decided that Tiffany and Brandon could start a modeling side hustle. Insert all of the heart eye emojis!

We ended the evening at the 502 East Event Centre with a night of laughter, smiles, and happily ever after’s.

Eileen wrote a heartfelt six page long poem as her creative rendition of a maid of honor speech.

Not to be shown up, Matt the best man recited an extremely hilarious, eloquent speech entirely from memory. His lawyer speaking skills shined so bright!

To Tiffany & Brandon: it’s so clear to us how God matched you two together perfectly. We couldn’t be more honored to share your special day as #TiffanyFallsNgLove. Can’t wait to walk with you in marriage and visit your beautiful new home in Noblesville!!
