Green & White Minneapolis Event Center Wedding

Photographed by Jeannine Marie Photography, Steph and Andy had an indoor church ceremony at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in New Hope, Minnesota. Then the happy couple followed the ceremony with an indoor reception at one of their photographer’s favorite Minneapolis wedding venues, the Minneapolis Event Center.

Both Steph and Andy have an appreciation for engineering, architecture, and natural elements, so they chose the event center because they loved the building’s original brick and wood elements mixed in with a modern design. Steph and Andy met back in May of 2014 on Match.com. Steph had been on Match.com for about three months and was just about to cancel her subscription when she received an adorably witty message from Andy. They started to message back and forth for a couple of weeks and finally decided to set up their first date. They met at Jake O’Connor’s in Excelsior, MN for a few beers and then they went to Excelsior Brewing. Four hours later, they realized it was time to head home. They both left thinking it was the best first date either of them had ever been on.

Jump ahead to June 27, 2015. After 13 months of dating, Andy and Steph went hiking around Minnehaha Falls followed by dinner at George and the Dragon. After dinner, they walked down to a bridge that overlooked Minnehaha Creek. Steph crossed to the other side of the bridge while Andy trailed behind, with the ring in his hand. When Steph turned around, Andy got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said yes!

Whimsical Urban Columbus Wedding

Amanda and Aaron are anything but traditional and when it came to their wedding, the same held true. Photographed by Jessica Miller Photography, there were plenty of unique details all around. There were succulent bouquets, a non-traditional lineup of music, and two-toned bridesmaid dresses. To top it all off, the unique warehouse-meets-loft venue called Vue was as non-traditional as could be as well.

There were some beautiful photos taken around the city, but mostly the happy couple wanted to celebrate at the bar with their friends between the ceremony and reception. And it was a perfect celebration indeed!

Glamorous Starry Estate Wedding Style

We thought this glamorous Starry Estate wedding style was the perfect shoot to feature this week because the elegance of it reminded us of a soiree you might find taking place in a castle in Ireland. And with St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, well, it just seemed meant to be.

Dragon Studio went with a starry night theme for this shoot, bringing classic elements of fashion and design into it to ensure the shoot stayed timeless. With pops of blue and yellow as well as vintage details and flowing silks, isn’t this a lovely shoot indeed?
