Wedding photo & video across Indiana
Indiana coverage on this site starts in Indianapolis, where Monument Circle is the brick-paved circle around the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, dedicated in 19022. One team makes both the photographs and the film. We match your inquiry to an independent partner photographer, and the contract you sign is with them.
Indiana is quick on paper: there is no waiting period and couples may marry as early as the day the license is issued1. The city parks are where the planning goes, because Indy Parks asks professional photographers for an advance vendor permit3. The Indianapolis page covers both.
For a wedding elsewhere in Indiana, put the town and the date on the form and we will say whether we can match a partner photographer to it.
Locations in Indiana
Our Indiana location is Indianapolis. The page lists the canal, monument and park places we shoot, the sunrise and sunset by month, the Indy Parks photography and filming rules and the Marion County Clerk's license steps. The price list is written for the place you name, with travel built in, so mention the town on the form if your ceremony is outside the city.
Indiana marriage license basics
Indiana licenses come from the county clerk's office, following Indiana Judicial Branch guidance1. There is no waiting period and the license is valid for 60 days1. The fee is $25 for Indiana residents and $65 for out-of-state residents1. Some offices charge an additional $4 document fee, and most counties require cash1.
Both applicants appear in person at the Clerk's Office in an Indiana county where one of them lives; out-of-state residents apply in the county where the marriage will be solemnized1. Couples may be married as early as the day the license is issued, and a Social Security number is required1. In Marion County, the online application comes first, then a walk-in visit with no appointment4.

Indiana questions
01How far in advance should we book a wedding photographer in Indiana?
As soon as your date and place are set. Indiana sets no waiting period and a license is valid for 60 days1, so the paperwork never limits your timeline; choose your photographer first and apply for the license in the weeks before the ceremony.
02Do you travel to Indiana, and is travel included?
Travel is built into the quote for the locations we list, and the price list is written for the place you name. If you live out of state, you apply in the county where the marriage will be solemnized1, which is worth settling with your partner before the date.
03Can we book photo and video together in Indiana?
Yes. Every collection is photo, video or both, made by one team on the day. In a city park the film can carry its own permit, as Indy Parks charges filming separately3, so tell us which parks are in your plan and your partner confirms before the date.
04What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We plan for it. Indianapolis averages 4.95 inches of precipitation in June and 3.22 inches in October5, so the ceremony gets a covered or indoor alternative agreed in advance, and portraits move to dry stops while your partner talks you through the options.
