Nicki and Mike’s April wedding day was a perfect way to begin my 2019 season. I just loved the look and feel of their perfect, relaxed, intimate spring day. The two were wed at the beautiful Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis. From there we hit up the Stone Arch Bridge where the two were engaged and finished off at the new industrial beautiful space in the North Loop; Watson Block.
Nicki and Mike were set up by a mutual friend and past bride of mine, Patti. When Nicki called to inquire and told me the two were friends from college, I knew they were going to be a special couple. Because both Mike and Nicki love their family, they decided to only have them involved as their wedding party and throughout the day, I was laughing and crying along side of them.
I loved how Nicki decided to trick Mike and had his uncle come and bea a part of the first look. With everyone watching and waiting, the laughter came not too long after.
Kind, concerned about others, gracious, compassionate and all around wonderful people, Nick and Mike made me feel so welcome and a part of their family.
Congratulations Nicki and Mike, what a beautiful day you both had. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. Cheers to so much more laughter and fun as you begin your lives together as husband and wife!

Jody’s Tory Burch shoes were a perfect accent to her Tadashi Shoji wedding gown.
Both Dan and Jody’s rings were hand crafted by different designers. Jody’s engagement ring was hand crafted and is a one of a kind ring designed by Denise Roberge. Dan’s is from David Yurman Scherezada.
Donato’s Floral in Maple grove put together the bouquet of rose and white blooms for Jody and a white rose for Dan’s boutonniere.
Jody did her own make up for the day while Simonson’s did a loose updo for her.
Jody purchased her veil and head piece from Anthropologie and it was a perfect touch for their October wedding day.
The grounds of St. Stephen’s are truly beautiful. Yellow trees and a beautiful brook behind the church made for a great location for photos.
Jody and Dan invited friends and other family embers to their reception at the Lynhall in Minneapolis. The Menu ranged from butternut squash soup to roasted chicken and spiced cous cous to other autumn based dishes.
Their spiced apple cinnamon cake was beautiful and created just for them by bakers at the Lynhall.
What a perfect day to spend with this amazing couple. Jody and Dan, I wish you many years of love and many, many adventures together!
