I didn’t get the pleasure of meeting Lt. Alex + Kate in person until their wedding as they did all of the planning out of state. I anticipated the wedding was going to have great details when Kate emailed some of the ideas she had in the works. Not only was the wedding beautifully + elegantly planned, but they were great to work with. The ceremony was held at St. John of the Cross and then the party moved to a private estate. Incorporating military influences throughout, the captain’s hat making its rounds (is that what it’s even called?) and a packed dance floor, this wedding was such fun. I’m excited to share with you my faves from the day.

Always a pleasure working with the girls from Larissa Laake Makeup Artist & Co.
