Behind The Scene of S&B Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Breanne and Skyler's wedding at 5120 Restaurant and Onyx Bar in Bloomington, Minn. and met their family members. If you haven't seen their engagement photo session, you need to check it out! It will make you go aaaawwwww.....

The bridesmaids and groomsmen are some of the funniest people I've met and I'm so thankful to be included in this special occasion. Since I spent pretty much the whole day I'm going to try my best to tell the story behind the scene. Make sure to read the caption and bare with me as I tried to jot down my memory of the attendees.

{The Setting}

Breanne's mom did ALL the flower arrangements on the table including the flowers for the girls. She did a fantastic job!

The couple loves going to the Bad Waitress for breakfast (which happens to be Jeff and I favorite place to go for breakfast, I'm craving Tokyo Rose as I'm typing this). Anyway, these are the couple's drawing while waiting for the food to arrive. So they asked guests to fold the paper in a trifold and each section (head, body and legs) are to be drawn separately without peeking on the previous drawing of the previous body part. SUPER cute idea!

{The Stylist}

Also happens to be the Groom's sister and one of the bridesmaids. This girl was BUSY all day. The groomsmen kept her busy all day by giving out free haircut! Bless her heart....

{The Bridesmaids}

{The Groomsmen}

So Skyler said,"Your tie is impeccably perfect, can you do one for me?". He goes "Huh? What do you mean do one for you?"

{The Haircut}

The Groomsmen got fancy haircut from the talented Ms. Skyler's sister

Don't you just LOVE her earrings? So suited for the occassion

{The Groom: Getting Ready}

Wait a minute, where's the bride getting ready? You know weddings are about the bride, right? I decided to dedicate a whole page just for the bride. Click here to see her

It's All About The Bride

If you haven't checked out this bride's engagement session, you should refrain from scrolling down and click on this link, and then you can go back to this post and proceed with the ooohhh's and aaaahhh's

Best friend from Canada, helping her with her dress, who's also officiating the wedding. She definitely had the bride's best interest as she suggested for the couple to have a 30 minutes "alone time"before the wedding. Thank goodness for BFFs.

Sister, helping out with Breanne's necklace. So precious.

She has such beautiful classic features. I have Grace Kelly in mind right now.

She's so bloody gorgeous!

I'm thinking Cinderella here. Beautiful!

Glancing at the Exit sign, a couple of hours before the ceremony.
Seriously! I was so kidding!

Once everyone got ready, we headed to Centennial Park. This was such a fun session, you really don't want to skip this. Click here to see the pictures.
