If you’re looking for a wedding that puts on a good time for all their guests, look no further than a Serbian celebration! This was the second Serbian wedding day I’ve been able to be a part of, and it’s always such a blast! Before the actual day started for Nicole & Tony, Nicole’s family hosting the Skup Party for some of the family beforehand at their home. The morning was filed with good food, good drinks and reunited with some of their favorite people they haven’t seen in forever. Oh, and lots of dancing!

After Nicole and Tony got to see each other for the first time that day, they joined the Skup Party with everyone and were able to join in on the dancing and fun before heading to St. Elijah church in Merrillville, Indiana. Every detail of the sanctuary was full of life and color which was so unique and fun to shoot in! And on top of that, every aspect of the ceremony was full of tradition and meaning which is always so special to witness.

Once Nicole and Tony were announced as husband and wife, they were met outside with more dancing and some music to keep the festivities going!

The day went on with more dancing, lots of amazing food and tons of traditional treats and a night filled with all those they love in one place!

My favorite thing about being a part of this entire time with Nicole and Tony throughout engagement and their wedding day is seeing the friendship these two share. Even though they were surrounded by hundreds of people and music and dancing on their special day, it was clear that when they were together, it didn’t matter the noise. All that mattered was each other.

I’m so excited for them to finally be married and be dancing into the rest of life together as Mr. & Mrs. Dixon! Congratulations guys!

Hope you enjoy seeing some of my favorites from their big day below!
