ARRIVING early the ladies started their day getting ready in Blaisdells getting ready room. The Blaisdell is a Minneapolis Mansion Wedding venue in the Twin Cities of Minnesota! Amanda and Luke made sure to surround themselves with their best people for their wedding day! Everyone had such great high energy all day. It made the day so enjoyable! Amanda's wedding dress fit like a dream and her and Luke had their first look just outside the front of the house. (The ladies inside enjoyed peaking through the window to see it too!) Luke had seen the dress before, but he admitted he forgot what it looked like, which Amanda figured that would happen. They were excited to see each other!
For more portraits off site, we made our way to Minneapolis Institute of Art. Some of my favorite photos of the day were taken here! After a good amount of portrait time that ended with a little rain, we headed back to The Blaisdell for the rest of the day! Apparently the rain can't get enough of Luke & Amanda. (It downpoured at their engagement session link at the end)
Their good friend Eric officiated their wedding. He talk on their love story and how fun it was to see them grow and sacrifice for one another. They grew to love each other's interests- anime, dungeon & dragons, cats like their Loui. When it was Amanda's turn to read her vows she welcomed everyone to their self-proclaimed “nerd” Wedding. One thing they uniquely did for their ceremony was they had the wedding party on the opposite side so the bridesmaids could she Amanda's face and the Groomsmen could see Luke's face. Before you knew it they were husband and wife and did one of the best dip kisses in the aisle! It is a must see!
Amanda and Luke are travelers at heart so for their tables they did different locations they had been all over the world instead of table numbers! After Speeches and food, the night ended with one of the best dance parties I've ever photographed! Everyone was having an absolute blast!
Please enjoy Amanda and Luke's wedding day at The Blaisdell!
