Mary & Alec’s wedding ceremony was set against the beautiful patio at Rush Creek Golf Club surrounded by the people who mean the most to them — and one very important little family member. Their adorable puppy had the most important job of all: ring bearer! 🐾💍 And honestly, he stole a few hearts along the way.
Mary looked absolutely stunning in her gown from Ivory Bridal Co., beautifully finished with alterations by Elina’s Tailoring and Design! Her bridesmaids looked gorgeous in Birdy Grey, while Mary completed her look with a beautiful David Yurman bracelet. Alec and his groomsmen looked sharp in suits from Atmosfere.
Every detail came together beautifully! Lady Vamp Artistry helped create Mary’s stunning hair and makeup, while Blossom Studio Minneapolis added beautiful floral touches throughout the day. Invitations from Truly Engaging helped set the tone before the celebration even began.
With Essen Events keeping the day running smoothly, Mary & Alec were able to relax and soak in every moment. Their patio ceremony was the perfect setting for a day filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of happy tears! Look at Alec’s reaction when he saw his bride walking toward him!
But one of my favorite things to photograph throughout the entire day was Mary’s smile whenever she looked at Alec. There was something so genuine about it — the kind of smile that says everything without needing a single word. You could see how happy she was simply standing beside the person she had chosen to spend her life with! Same was true for Alec – he absolutely lit up whenever he got to be with Mary!
And then came the reception! UP Event Group kept the party moving, while Eric Vest Photography’s own “The I Do Booth” gave everyone a chance to let loose and create some unforgettable memories. When it was time for dessert, Buttercream Wedding Cakes provided the perfect sweet ending to an incredible day!
Both beautiful rings were from Shane Co. — symbols of the promises Mary & Alec made to one another as they began this next chapter together.
Beautiful patio. Beautiful details. A ridiculously cute ring bearer. And, most importantly, two people who clearly adore each other! Congratulations, Mary & Alec! It was such a joy to celebrate with you and capture the love, laughter, and little moments that made your wedding day uniquely yours. ❤️
