The Lumber Exchange Event Center was the perfect setting to host Michaela and David’s incredible summer wedding, and Events by Melody ensured every element was stunning from start to finish!  From the moment we first met at their Minneapolis engagement session, we knew their big day would be an absolute dream to capture!  The morning began as the ladies prepared with Beauty by Heather and Makeup by Mindie while we documented the details including rings from Royal Jewelers.

Michaela put on her gorgeous gown from Annika Bridal, and shared first looks with her father and bridesmaids before meeting David by the marble staircase.  We stepped outside to explore for portraits of the two of them followed by wedding party and family photos.  Guests arrived and enjoyed champagne as they gathered for the ceremony in the Fountain Room.  Michaela and David exchanged vows and exited all-smiles as the newest Mr. and Mrs.!  They mingled throughout cocktail hour before heading in for the reception.  The space looked amazing with linens from Apres Event Decor and breathtaking florals by Studio Fleurette!

Family and friends enjoyed dinner and speeches followed by the most beautiful cake designed by David’s aunt.  The evening came to a close with Time into Pixels’ photo booth and dancing to live music with the Bluewater Kings Band.  We topped off the night with golden-hour photos with the skyline and were incredibly honored to hear the sweetest words from Michaela when we shared her sneak peeks! “They look amazing!!!! We are obsessed with these. Thanks so much for making the day (and whole process) so great.  We’d like to write a stellar review for your services, Thank you, thank you, thank you!”  Michaela and David, you were an absolute joy to serve, and we hope St. Lucia is every bit as gorgeous as your wedding day was!
