Julie and Mark are married!!!!!!!! And they are so excited for everyone to know it! :)
I was privileged to be able to share in Julie and Mark's big day last weekend in St. Paul! From flower arrangements to ceremony site and reception favors to bridal gifts this wedding was absolutely amazing. This posh pink, silver and black theme was stunning and oh so fun (especially with the personalized magenta and white rock candies on the table at the reception...my fave!). They tied the knot at the ever so magnificent St. Paul Cathedral followed by a rock-star reception at the McNamara Alumni Center at the heart of the U of M campus (their alma mater!)
Julie and Mark couldn't be more perfect for each other and it is especially evident in how much they simply laugh together---it was contagious and inspiring to be around all day! :)
Isn't she just stunning?? I told you! :)
I have to admit that I was thoroughly impressed at how absolutely GORGEOUS the flowers were. Kathy and Lenis from Expressions by Kathryn pulled together not only some amazing stems but some hot and artistic styles in both the bouquets and boutonnieres! I *just loved* the angel hair that they used for the wrap on those bouts!
MR AND MRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am tellin ya that it didn't take much to make Julie giggle....a true sign of love if you ask me! :)
The McNamera Alumni center is a ROCK STAR reception venue! Not only is the staff 500 % awesome but the venue itself is so creative. I could stand in awe of this place for hours.....I really loved it!

Another "PROPS" to Julie on these details! LOVE 'EM!
There were many different speeches through the evening and I couldn't have laughed, cried and felt more a part of Julie and Mark's life when hearing them; they were HONESTLY some of the BEST I have ever heard. The maid of honor, Marnie, even wrote a Julie and Mark inspired kids book about 2 dinosaurs who fell in love (and the girl dinosaur liked to go shopping just like Julie!)
Julie and Mark your wedding was STUNNING and I couldn't have asked to be a part of a more fun and generous family for the day! I wish you many naps on the beaches and nights of relaxation in Hawaii!!!

Mine too Katie!! All of them are so amazing, I can hardly wait to see the rest! Thank you Emily and Katie for making Julz and Mark's day even more memorable, I would be willing to bet they couldn't have found a pair of photographers who fit in better then the two of you- wounder where they found them : ) Just like you said Emily, it is like we've known eachother for years. So thanks again for all the smiles and laughter, and capturing it so beautifully!!!
