Lasserina and Daniel had their first date at Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University, where they were both on the mock trial team. Five years later, in front of that same museum, Daniel asked Lasserina to be his wife. And so it was only fitting that it should be the backdrop for their engagement portraits.

When it came to their wedding day, Jen & Tony’s alma mater connection was a focal point— from custom IU sneakers by Adidas for the dance floor to their wedding party that was jam-packed with college friends, to the toasts from their family and friends, with frequent references to their time in Bloomington, Indiana.

Kirstie and Jared are both graduates of Butler University, so it’s only fitting that we included their French bulldogs (the Butler mascot) in their engagement session on Butler’s campus.We thought rain might force us to reschedule, but miraculously the skies cleared just in time and we got beautiful evening light. After Butler, we headed downtown to Monument Circle for some urban energy.
