Gabrielle + Tyler | Married

Walking into the Depot for Gabrielle and Tyler’s wedding was like stepping into a royal winter wonderland! I love shooting at the stunning Minneapolis Renaissance Depot, yet I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the ceremony space! Florals from floor to ceiling along with beautiful textures and macaroon’s as far as the eye could see! It was the same awe when they opened the reception hall for dinner, the feeling of a starry night + lush floral + pink!

The day truly had the most perfect mix of gold, blush pink and black! There were so many incredible pieces to this day! From Gabrielle’s Marchesa, purchased at Annika Bridal that was divine, to the sparkle of each dress her girls had!

My favorite parts of the day included the many surprises and sweet moments! Gabrielle seeing her dear Grandmother was so incredible and many tears were shed. To the first surprise of her mother singing during their ceremony, to the end of the ceremony where Gabrielle’s mom coordinated a group of 20+ singers and trumpets started singing All You Need Is Love right after the first kiss! Gabrielle was the only one in the bridal party that didn’t know and you can completely tell on her face how BIG the surprise was!

Secondly, this gorgeous couple has the sweetest kitty Shouli! He was so fun during our engagement session! It was such a thoughtful touch that Gabrielle’s grandmother snuck a look-a-like kitty on their cake! Their faces when they saw it were incredible! It looked SO much like their Shouli!

Lastly, the connection of sweet Gabrielle + her mother was just so inspiring! Throughout the day there were just exchanges of smiles and happy tears. Gilah’s speech had us all teared up and laughing at the same time! Pure Magic.

Gabrielle + Tyler,  your day still feels like a dream!  I am wishing you both ( + Shouli) the most magical real life dreams in the many years to come! So much LOVE! Enjoy your blog story sneak!
