Christopher & Alissa; Columbia Manor Wedding

A tour is where it began.   Alissa came to the University of Minnesota looking into graduate school.  Chris, being a grad student in music theory and Alissa looking into studying it as well, hit it off right away.  Chris showed her around the campus, answered questions that she had and told her more about the program.  Little did they both know that they would be studying in the same classes that next year.  The reconnected in a class together and quickly became friends.

Fast forward a few years, Chris took Alissa to one of their favorite spots in Connecticut where they were living called  Lighthouse Point Park.  Pretty early on into the walk, Chris took Alissa out to a dock where he got down on a knee and proposed while Alissa worried that the ring might fall into the water!  After a short picnic and a drive along the coast, the two happily called friends and family and celebrated for dinner.

Their wedding day was filled with musical inspiration. Both being musicians, the ceremony and reception were filled with beautiful musical pieces!  Chris and Alissa, it was a joy to work with you.  Blessings to you as you start off your new life together!!!

        Andrew & Christina; a Trellis wedding

        Boating on the lake sounded wonderful to Christina.  After many long, indoor hours of working at Von Marr, spending a hot summer day outside would be a treat.  Andrew had been all over the state that week.  His job forced him to be on the road throughout the dog days of summer as well, so when he was invited to spend an afternoon on the boat, he jumped on the opportunity.  The two met there, and as they chatted the afternoon away with mutual friends a connection was made.  And when Andrew mentioned his love of Corvettes and the one he was restoring, Christina knew it was fate for she too loved Corvettes, and even owned one.  A deep friendship evolved and eventually Andrew popped the question.

        Their wedding day was incredible both the ceremony as well as the late June weather.  The couple chose not to see each other until walking down the aisle and Andre’s eyes wet wet as he saw his bride for the first time.  A song that Christina’s grandmother sang to her husband on their wedding day was played in the ceremony and instead of doing a sand or unity candle, they chose a water ceremony.  The weather stayed a consistent 80 degrees and the lighting was amazing as the two said their vows.

        Thank you Chris and Andrew, it was a joy to spend your day with you!  Congratulations!

            Hi Chris and Andrew,
            Wow, what gorgeous pictures, you really had a good photographer. It was such a treat to look at each one. Isn’t it great that you can have everyone see them. You must be so pleased, you both looked terrific. Did you have a good trip?
            It’s very hot here today and I haven’t had many customers so I’ve been pricing books.Now I have to make potato salad.
            Have a good weekend! Love you, Aunt Sally
