As an Indianapolis wedding photographer, I've seen hundreds of weddings in my career, and I'm never as impressed with the teamwork and wedding day as I am at JPS. The venue itself is stunning, with rooftop views, and outdoor terrace, glass lined reception area - it sells itself. That make it even more impressive that the family-owned team is so hands on and thorough, having a strong presence on the wedding day, keeping every moving part running flawlessly, and their attention to detail is amazing. Not to mention their florals are beyond gorgeous every time, and the food is amazing! The entire wedding experience is a level above what you'd expect for Indy, and I'm truly blown away every time! If you're looking for a stunning one of a kind venue, and a true wedding team, they're it! My Instagram is lined with photos I've shot there, and I look forward to going back every wedding season!

The team at the Stutz was overall amazing!! There were a few hiccup because I wasn’t exactly sure who I was supposed to be communicating with just because I talked to 2 or 3 people in the beginning, by the time event day came it was absolutely amazing!! Sarah was so wondering the day before and the day of. Any questions we had she’s readily available. There is of course so much happening during the day if the ceremony but Sarah or someone else from that staff was not far away and we were able to get everything we needed taken care of.
