As the temps outside are finally dropping, this cool weather wedding days makes us want to huddle around a campfire with tons of blankets! So Derek and Rebecca did just that. As they were surrounded by loved ones, in warm blankets and fires glowing, they said their I Do’s under the romantic arch at The Lakehouse in Clear Lake. The woods are gorgeous to begin with but with the touch of old man winter, we were blessed with hoar frost to make it that much more magical. Please take me to the woods anytime with this great bridal party and I will gladly walk in 2-3 feet of snow to capture these amazing memories all over again.
Hearing people’s love stories always gives me the goosebumps. The first time they met, their proposal or some great love story that brought them together. Michelle and Matt’s love story is very unique and soooo good!!.
Michelle the travel enthusiast from Manitoba is the girl to just jump on a plane and take an adventure. She’s literally been everywhere. She wanted to start a travel blog and capture her journeys. With no such luck and lots of frustration later her brother told her about this website that you can find said individuals who build them for you. She searched through what felt like a million profiles and landed on three designers. As she liked to call them, X, Y, and Mr. Handsome. Mr. Handsome aka Matt the PHD in chemical engineering/digital marketer from Philadelphia received a message from Michelle. The business savvy man that he is suggested they have a Skype call the very next day.
So nervous Michelle, not knowing a thing about all this website material, Skype called Matt. The screens popped up and Matt was blown away by how beautiful she was and uttered the words, “You’re so pretty.” Apologizing profusely and repeating that he never says these things. He was just so captivated by Michelle. Minutes go by and it felt like they have known each other for years. So days go by and they talked day and night, most days not even about the website. It was just random things that they both connected on. It first started to a 1-2 hour business conversation, that ended up to a 4-5 hour conversation about everything else. As Michelle would say, “There is something there, but it is too good to be true.”
Michelle just finished her exams and she decided she wanted to learn more about Digital Marketing so she planned a trip to go to Philly. Primarily because she was mesmerized by Matt. Excited is an understatement because she is about to go see a stranger, who doesn’t seem like a stranger over 1000 miles away and has gotten to know over Skype and phone calls because she feels this is something…. different.
Walking through the airport gates, her heart is racing. She knows he is waiting for her. He has no idea what to expect. He knows this isn’t normal. Usually people who want a website built for them don’t show up, wanting to meet him.
And then…. She saw him, and he saw her. The rest is history. <3
They wanted to gather friends and family to celebrate their love, revive connections, and create lasting memories in the forest with all of our favorite people. That was Jodi and Devon’s mission, and that’s exactly what they accomplished with their incredibly fun Clear Lake wedding!
The entire wedding had a distinctly bohemian and care-free feel that was incredibly dreamy given the forest setting. And the fact that they and their family and friends DIY-ed nearly every detail made it all the sweeter! This couple stayed true to their mission statement and, in doing so, created a picturesque wedding in Clean Lake complete with floral rings, textural place settings, beautiful banners, and lets not forget all the sweet dance moves at the end of the night.
Melissa + Jody’s Clear Lake wedding at RMN Park had all the elegance of a fairytale wedding with hints of Disney charm that made it truly remarkable. Their wedding was inspired by feminine details, and classical elements, making for a lovely and comely celebration.
There is something about a snowy winter wedding that is so very timeless and magical. Set in the Riding Mountain National Park just outside Dauphin, Mb, Jodi + Dustin’s wedding was the picture of a fairytale.
After a traditional ceremony in a striking arts museum venue, the couple spent time in the gorgeous landscape of the park, in amongst the trees, before heading back to the reception decorated with glittering sequence and glowing with the warmth of their loved ones.
