Debbie and Andy's all-day wedding coverage started at the Marriott in Bloomington for getting ready and yummy breakfast.
After hair and make-up, everyone made their way to one of my all-time favorite venues, the Little Log House Pioneer Village in Hastings. The venue is a huge collection of antique buildings from gas stations to saloons, barns and homes. The bridal space has gorgeous natural light and is a perfect location for finishing touches.
Debbie made hangers as her gift to the bridesmaids and mothers; they were so cute!
As usual, my second shooter (Kristina this time) was rocking the sneaky shots :)
Guests were shuttled from Boloomington just as the sun was setting over the tops of trees and buildings, which made for a warm atmosphere in the chilly fall air as parents greeted everyone before the ceremony.
Debbie and Andy did a tree ceremony, which I had never seen before. Extremely elegant! Mothers carried dirt from the family home during the processional and the bride and groom added the family soil to their own tree -- so lovely.
Social hour was held outside as Debbie and Andy greeted guests and served goodies and hot apple cider (there was even a bartender adding rum to some of the cider ;) Deca catering made snacks and dinner absolutely wonderful!
Devon Nelson, the day's wedding coordinator, pulled together beautiful decorations that completed the day's Autumn-Cinderella feel -- from pumpkins and candle-lit lanterns to abstract pumpkin creations hanging from the high ceiling to my personal favorite, the little owls that inhabited the tree-like centerpieces.
Debbie and Andy's super-creative photo wall took the spot-light after the first few dances and kept guests (and myself!) entertained well into the night while a live band kept the dance floor full and swinging right until the end.
Debbie, I think you found yourself a new calling -- this wedding was beautiful and thought-out to the last detail. Congratulations!
