LOVE :A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
“I have often walked down this street before; But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before. All at once am I several stories high, knowing I’m on the street where you live. ” Freddy Einsford Hill, My Fair Lady.
When you fall in love, I think something is created within you and the person you share this deep, amazing and thoughtful love with. It’s as if you’ve gained something you didn’t have physically, when in reality, it’s simply a feeling. But it’s that feeling that finds us loving and adoring romantic, fairytale movies and finding ourselves clutching a tissue in our hand as we blot a tear here and there from our eye as we watch a bride walk down the isle to meet her future husband.
I am without the ability to hold in my watery eyes when I photograph each and every bride, as she walks down the isle, almost floating as she makes those last few steps as a single woman. I turn around to get a few glimpses of the groom, which often make my watery eyes overall flow and my tears make the back of my camera all wet, but its worth it, each and every single time. I get that one intimate view of a moment between two people who’ve found LOVE with the other. I hold my tearful moments in my heart as blessings to know LOVE is amazing!
This is the Love Story of Laura & Cameron.
Laura & Cameron were married and celebrated with friends at Spill the Wine in downtown Minneapolis. They made careful consideration when planning their event in order to incorporate all the lovely things they enjoy about the other. With Cameron’s design aesthetic and Laura’s romantic side, their vision was to combine their likenesses into all the decor and ambiance.
With the help and coordination of Laura Mullen Event Design the event flowed seamlessly from one floor to another. Laura Mullen and her team hung one of a kind screen prints designed by the bride and groom and created with the help of Miles & Lucy at Faux Poco. Additionally, the bride and her friends created much of the additional decor seen including the magnetic ties the bride made for each guest to wear. Florals arranged and designed by Jackie Just of Just-Bloomed filled the room with the perfect fragrance.
The bride was stunning in a one-of-a-kind custom couture gown made by Tara LaTour. Laura is the brainchild behind Nelle Handbags and created a handbag for each bridesmaid to carry. The talented Julie Swensen did the bride’s hair and makeup and the team from Smart Chic Bride took care of the Bridal Party.
To announce the event, invitations were designed by the groom and printed with the help of Paperista. After dinner, guests were treated to an array of delicious goodies from Cocoa & Fig.
Thank you Laura & Cameron for having us document your wedding day!
Special thanks to my assistant Ryan Lodermeier for his amazing help and photographs as usual!
