lasting impressions weddings is an award-winning minnesota wedding planning and design company

I am so excited to share with you TWO new videos for Capture Studios!! We always love working with these VERY talented guys and it is amazing to sit back and watch all of the details through their eyes!!!

Jaclyn and Mark’s video is first up and you can see their wedding photo blog here!

Michelle and John were married on July 9th and I still need to post their amazing photos from their wedding!! But for now here is their video. I think that the Best Man’s speech says it all.. “Its like you have always been together and knowing you always will be together”!

One of my favorite parts of my job is working with the families of my couples. I feel like it is such an honor to be asked to be a part of one of the most important days of someones life. The only thing better than “becoming part of the couples families” is getting to work with the family AGAIN!! I had the pleasure of working with Jaclyn’s family for the 2nd time this past April. A few years ago I was involved in her lovely sister Melinda’s wedding, so when I got the call from Rita, Jaclyn’s mother, letting me know their would be another Hallstrom wedding I was elated. Rita is a very organized and very loving mother and it was such a pleasure to get to help her and her daughters with both of their weddings! The Depot provided a beautiful backdrop to this amazing spring wedding!

As you can tell.. I have not been blogging very often as we have been busy creating and coordinating wonderful weddings every weekend since April… But I am getting very anxious to share these wonderful weddings with you. Matt and Claire started their planning about a year ago when they called me from New York and told me all about their wonderful ideas and I explained how I could help turn their long distance planning into an easy process!! To see this vision become reality is my favorite part of my job and I am still in awe of how some ideas can really transform a space! Enjoy the photos by the wonderful Gina from A Truth Be Shown… Not only does she do an amazing job, she is very quick getting me photos!
