Gena & Anne’s old Hollywood/art gallery soiree

“It was important to us for the wedding to celebrate our local neighborhood and be as environmentally conscious as possible. We imagined a cocktail reception with plenty to drink and delicious food to eat.”

Alli & Liz’s Rock n’ Roll Beach Wedding

From the start, we wanted a private beach wedding for those we’re closest to, with a kick-ass party following for all our friends and family. We decided early on to go with a rock ‘n roll motif, which helped us remember that this wasn’t a boring, traditional wedding, but a unique celebration of our commitment.

Bethany & Kris’ Fabulously Fall “Extended Dinner Party” Wedding

My partner and I both love the fall and consider it the best season in Minnesota. I also love to throw dinner parties and wanted our ceremony to be an “extended dinner party” with wonderful food and wine. We also wanted to accentuate the beautiful colors of fall, so we found a beautiful “chalet” at a city park. I wore a chocolate brown dress with awesome orange shoes. Kris wore a classic black suit with a golden rust tie. We had no attendants or “wedding party.” Just us.
