Weddings are always wonderful celebrations, and this beautiful event was no exception. The ceremony was held at the impressive Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church in Minneapolis, followed by some fun and a fabulous reception at Hotel 340 in Saint Paul. Jessica and Mo deserved a spectacular day, and that is exactly what they were blessed with.
Their classic and elegant wedding was filled with touches of whimsy and thoughtful moments. The bride was simply stunning wearing her mother’s pearl necklace, and her customized Chucks made everyone smile. I loved their “no-look” first look, where they exchanged wedding gifts of cuff-links and a beautiful bracelet. The wall between them added a fun twist to an old tradition, and the excitement of the moment was almost palpable.
The ceremony at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church was emotional and heartfelt, and many joyful tears flowed as the couple said: “I Do.” After a quick bar hop to The Local, the newly-weds made a stop at Caribou, the very place they had their first date. It was the perfect romantic moment alone before they were off to their intimate reception at Hotel 340.
I had a great time with Mo, Jessica, and their wonderful families and friends. Their big day was a celebration of love, the first of many more to come. Cheers to the happy couple!

A bar hop to the Local and it’s famous Kissing Room was the perfect way to start the party.
A dose of caffeine at the scene of their first date was just what they needed.
