A huge part of my shtick is that I love brews–be it from bean or barley (or hops). This is one reason why I am naturally drawn to brewery or winery weddings, as the aesthetic is one I love personally in my own life. When I found out that one of my clients was hosting […]
I’ve said it before, and am sure I’ll say it again: I love engineers. I am the opposite of an engineer. I am a humanities girl–literature and history to be specific. I am here for the narratives–which is why I blog every wedding. When something goes wrong, however, my brain is wired to see that […]
LeAnn and Tyler dreamed of their Lake Superior wedding day. Lakeshores, waterfalls, friends and family. It was everything they wanted, and they couldn’t wait for it. COVID-19, of course, had other plans. Instead of the lakeside wedding, the two settled for an intimate ceremony on June 26, 2021. Just the two of them and a […]
At sunset, they were going to get into the boat. Those were the words I have been waiting a career to hear. A personal photo goal has been to get a cute couple kissing on the water. So far, so sweet moments. But Sydney and Ben, they were going to change that. This wasn’t a […]
Last week, I started watching The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem on Netflix (yes, I have a thing for foreign TV shows, especially those from Israel). I am not usually drawn to melodramas, but this one, it’s a keeper. It’s a wonderfully woven story that combines (most accurate) history with generational family drama. It’s spicy. But […]
As Uncle Ed was quoted, we all need to go out and color the world. The reminder came during the family’s toasts to Casey + Sam. In the Barrel Room of St. Paul’s women-owned brewery, Urban Growler, Sam’s sister and brother and Casey’s dad regaled fellow friends and family with stories that made it very […]
First date jitters. They make you do crazy things. They made Joseph drive forward rather than in reserve on his first date with Molly. Clearly, everyone survived to make it to a second date, third date, right up to wedding date. The story is the stuff of their legend, though, and it shows through its […]
Barn weddings are all the rage right now, and that is for very good reason. They are classic, rustic, and chic; they are a great blank canvas for dang near every couple to build their wedding vision upon. They’re pretty great. However, there are a few things you should know about if you are considering […]
Photo booths, the nostalgic arcade souvenir, has really taken hold in the wedding market. One of the most common add-ons to events these days are the inclusion of a photo booth. It’s a fun way to entertain guests while providing a tangible result for the couple. How can you make the most of your photo […]
It’s Friday the 13th. Unlike many, this isn’t a day where I binge horror films or anything like that; for the most part, this isn’t something that usually even registers with me. I am not an ultra-superstitious or fear-loving person. It’s just not my style. However, I thought for today’s blog it might be nice […]
