I was *THRILLED* to be a part of Dan and Sinead's lovely vintage inspired, family centered wedding this weekend. With 5 kids eagerly awaiting to become an official family they surrounded their new parents with love, support and "happy tears" as their little girl Gabi told me! :)
Their celebration started with a ceremony at Calvary Baptist Church in downtown Minneapolis. Live music, Italian food, a giant bouncy thing for kids and plenty of lawn games set the stage for their romantic carnival themed wedding reception in a private backyard. Armed with a popcorn machine, kids of all ages had a blast and Dan and Sinead laughed the night away with their closest family and friends as they all celebrated together!
I arrived to find the ladies assembling not only the flower arrangements for the church and reception site, but the wedding party bouquets AND boutonnieres too! Folks, if you have some floral needs....there is raw talent right here! :)

I know....I know....I went a little overboard with the makeup shots, but doesn't she just look STUNNING! I simply couldn't help myself! :)
The girls were excited to do anything they could for their Mommy and jumped on the opportunity to help her with the ever-so-important task of shoes! :) I just love this one!
The bridal room was conveniently located with a stellar view of everyone walking into the church for the ceremony....so Sinead was anxiously announcing the arriving parties as she was getting ready!
Since both Dan and Sinead are not only extrememly musically talented themselves, they have an endless supply of amazing musican friends. Needless to say the ceremony was a tear-jerker through THE ENTIRE thing because the music was ahhh---mazing!
Dan started the whole thing out by coming out and playing a song on the piano (with his 3 groomsmen on the instruments) before Sinead walked down the isle, which got the tears rollin for everyone in the house....

After the ceremony we headed to their favorite spot, The Spyhouse Coffeeshop for a few portraits of the new MR and MRS!
The thing I *most adored* about their wedding is not only did they have their BFF's standing up for them as their wedding party, but they also happened to be the most influential and inspiring couples to surround them in their lives. How cool is that???
Annnnd the BLLLLIIIINNNG! :)
