The Princess Bride
Ally & Jesse's Como Conservatory wedding... Where do I even begin? It was lovely. The beautiful crisp greens, the warm weather, and the exotic flowers perfectly accented the Enchanted Garden at their ceremony. "Storybook Love" by Mark Knopfler is still dancing around the back of my mind each time I go to edit more of Ally & Jesse's images.
Ally took so much joy and intentionality in curating, designing, and crafting each part of their wedding, from the colors she selected to each of the table settings and details that were carefully crafted and perfectly fit her and Jesse. These two wonderful and delightful creatives and old souls are fellow friends from college. It felt as though each guest and vendor was allowed glimpses into Jesse and Ally's relationship; their joy for life, down-to-earth personalities, and their skill for dreaming and writing of far-off lands.
Apricot Orange with Teal and Blush Accents
Ally carefully paired her colors which were a beautiful statement and blended with the rest of the exotic and tropical greenery surrounding them at the Conservatory and gardens. For those who are lovers of nature and literature, this wedding will be one to inspire.
Not only were the details bright and cheery, but the people were what made that day special. Jesse and Ally met at the University of Northwestern - St. Paul and have forged a close-knit friend group since day one that is still evident. Coming from being friends with this crew during our days at college together, I knew there was a tight bond, but I was truly able to experience the magic of a UNW connection that day of funny, down-to-earth, goofy people who adored this couple so fiercely.
Ally and Jesse, thank you so much for the honor of photographing your wedding alongside Alicia Korpi from Ignite the Light Photography. You both radiate such joy and love for each person you encounter. Thank you for the blessing that your friendship has been in my life and for always being the kind and welcoming people that you are. Your intentionality and welcoming nature has made me and so many others feel so loved. Blessings on your marriage & cheers to many many wonderful years!
Warmly,
Emmy
