Lara and Michael’s fall wedding at the JX Venue was absolutely incredible from start to finish, and One23Events ensured every detail was stunning!  We can’t believe it’s been a year since Lara and Michael’s engagement session, and their big day was every bit as beautiful as we had imagined.  The morning began as the ladies finished up hair and makeup with Lady Vamp Artistry while we documented all the gorgeous details including rings from Shane Co.  Lara’s mom helped her into her beautiful gown from the Wedding Shoppe, and she shared the sweetest first look with her father before walking down the venue’s iconic staircase to meet her groom.  We captured a few portraits and then traveled to St. Michael’s Catholic Church for family photos before guests arrived.

Lara and Michael exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends and exited all-smiles as the newest Mr. and Mrs.!  Following the ceremony, we headed downtown with Stillwater Trolley for photos alongside the St. Croix.  The wedding party looked amazing in their Kennedy Blue dresses and Milbern Clothing suits.  We had such a great time with this crew and can’t wait to see all of the fun that Eric of Olsen Media captured on video!

After dodging a bit of rain for a few portraits overlooking the valley, we returned to JX Venue for cocktail hour and the reception.  The space looked incredible with florals by Ashley Skeie, and guests enjoyed dinner by Bella Vida Catering, speeches, and a delicious array of desserts from Dorothy Ann Bakery.  The evening came to a close with dancing hosted by Jordan of tornadojally.  Lara and Michael, it was an absolute joy to be a part of your wedding day!  We hope that Cabo San Lucas is the perfect way to celebrate life as newlyweds this winter!
