the story of
marie + alex
and wedding photography + videography in Edgerton & Paola
~*~
From early on, everything was easy — from how they hit it off right away to the way she planned the perfect circumstances for his proposal without evening realizing it, until he popped the question with both of their families surrounding them at their favorite Irish pub.
So it’s no surprise their wedding also came together flawlessly. About their vision for it, Marie shares:
We had so much fun planning our dream day! I had dreamed of having the reception at Mildale for quite some time, and when I showed Alex, he agreed it was perfect. We also agreed on dark hunter green and gold as our colors and each had our individual must-haves: For him, donuts and Chinese food (We had the Chinese food at our rehearsal dinner), and for me, beautiful flowers and special touches to make our wedding different from the rest — including a father/daughter duet I shared with my dad at the reception.
We really wanted this day to be enjoyable, stress-free and relaxing for our friends and family and were so overjoyed to be surrounded by all of the important people in our lives. We feel so blessed to have had the wedding we always dreamed of.
Marie and Alex: Those out-of-the-ordinary elements you took care to include in your day definitely stood out and made this milestone that much more fun to capture. Thank you so much for letting us share in it and document this beautiful beginning to your marriage!
