Intimate Backyard Wedding | Brooklyn Park, MN | Janelle & Jordan

Intimate Backyard Wedding | Brooklyn Park, MN | Janelle & Jordan

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a million more times, but Janelle and Jordan’s wedding was one of my favorites :) Their intimate backyard wedding was perfect! From the greenery chandeliers to the ceremony backdrop, her dad, Bob, slaving for days to make (delicious) cheesecake. Everything was thought out, simple, and elegant! It had me wishing we had a small backyard wedding ;) — though I regret nothing (except having the day last longer!) It was so much fun working with these two and all their friends and family. &&& working with my newest associate Sydney :) I’d do it all over again if I could!

Dellwood Barn Weddings | Minnesota Wedding | Amber + Graham

What a day! I met Amber and Graham at the Hampton Inn Downtown St. Paul to get ready. Then we headed over to Dellwood Barn Weddings for their first look. The first look is always one of my favorite moments on a wedding day and Amber and Graham’s didn’t disappoint :) We spent the day going between the AC in the bridal suite to sweatin’ up a storm in the sunny 90 degree weather. Nevertheless it was such a beautiful and simple wedding and I am so grateful to have been able to capture it.

Please enjoy a little sneak into Amber and Graham’s wedding day :)

Minneapolis Event Center | June Wedding | Hanna + Ben

Minneapolis Event Center | June Wedding | Hanna + Ben

The Minneapolis Event Center was absolutely stunning! I know Hanna was nervous about the construction going on nearby, but I overheard how impressed everyone was with the venue all night long, and it is definitely one of my favorites! The Wild Orchid’s floral arrangements were drop-dead gorgeous as well! Every little detail was perfect, from the arbor to the elevated greenery and garland at the head table! And Hannah’s bouquet, let me just say “Wow!” Melissa’s (MHEvents) planning of course brought everything together in effortless fashion. I honestly wonder if the wedding guests even knew Melissa was there, working her butt off! I suppose that the sign of a good wedding planner is that all the hard work that goes into the big day looks effortless! Everything about this day was perfect, sweet, and whimsical!
