Ashley and Olyvia splashed around Maui with Preston this winter for some oh-so-adorable mother daughter photos. Though you’d hardly know that it was winter with their cute purple dresses and not a bit of snow on the ground! This duo is goofy, loving, and a blast to be around. Their bond was truly special to witness and capture.

Individually, these two are awesome. Yevgenia is a 3rd degree black belt who loves rock climbing, and Eugene is a video game master who can identify a bunch of species of birds. Together though, these two thrive. Playfulled dubbed “Eugeni” by their friends, these two have known each other just shy of fifteen years. They deeply admire one another, and it shows.
There is so much to talk about in regards to their wedding. Not only did it take place at one of our favorite venues, but it was unique in every regard. We’ll get to that in a second, but Yevgenia’s iconic dress deserves its own moment of praise. The flowing Galia Lahav gown has taken the cake for our favorite dress of 2018, and will likely remain our all-time favorite dress.
If you keep up with our social media, you probably know that we are obsessed with Aria, so we were beyond excited to spend an entire day in their space. Linen Effects, Richfield Flowers and Events, and Mi Mi Design were just a handful of Yevgenia and Eugene’s rockstar vendors that turned Aria into a sparkling wonderland, utilizing many of the same decorations for both the ceremony and reception while still completely transforming the space. Yevgenia and her mother were involved and invested in the decor, and the outcome was truly a testament to what can be created when two people are entirely on the same page and have a team behind them that they can trust.
Yevgenia and Eugene’s reception was out of this world, and not only because of the incredible decor. The evening was a whirlwind of speeches and dances, led by Marat Sidelsky of Marat World Entertainment, an energy-filled entertainer who came with five costume changes and fluency in Russian, Hebrew and English.
Yevgenia and Eugene, it was a blessing to be a part of your wedding day! Mazel tov, you two!

Megan and Ben’s wedding day fell just before Halloween, so of course Megan had to break out a scary mask for her and Ben’s first look! The laughs the two shared during their first look was a glimpse into the rest of their day, and the rest of their lives, together. Megan and Ben have the immersive, can’t-stop-smiling, wouldn’t-rather-be-anywhere-else kind of love that everyone hopes to find. They are so joyful in each other’s company that what is supposed to be the biggest, and potentially most stressful, day of your life was a breeze for them. Being so wholeheartedly happy in each other’s company, Megan and Ben navigated their wedding with smiles and grace, and everyone in attendance followed suit.
Weddings are ceremonies based on tradition, and each wedding comes with its own family history. In the case of Megan and Ben’s ceremony, this meant the handing down of “Grandma’s hankie,” which was created in 1906 and has been passed down through the McGill family. Through adding her name to the list of brides who had previously carried the hankie on their wedding day, Megan and Ben’s wedding found its place in history.
This was such a beautiful and lively wedding to end the year on, we’re already waiting for weddings to pick back up next year! Megan and Ben, thank you for including us in your excitement! Couples like you two are the reason that we love our jobs.

For Stephanie and Loren’s engagement shoot, they decided to do one of their favorite things: take their dog Reba to the park! Reba is a character, smiling along with her parents and getting in on the kisses. She seems to love Boom Island Park as much as we do, even a dog can appreciate those gorgeous fall leaves!
Stephanie and Loren are people who care deeply about their passions, and each other’s passions! And rightfully so, these two have awesome, unique interests. Stephanie’s love for the environment brought her back to school to pursue a degree in graphic design with the intent of visually encouraging others to take steps to protect the planet. Loren is a basketball coach who spends his time learning about early humans and catching matinee superhero movies on their opening weekend.
Stephanie and Loren (and Reba!), we are so excited to capture the rest of your story. You two are a perfect match!

.jpg "Hannah & Jason's Minneapolis Wedding at the Machine Shop in St. Anthony Main featuring balloons by Girl Friday Creative photographed by Preston Palmer of Brovado Weddings-01.jpg")
Hannah and Jason’s wedding day had all the elements of a gorgeous day: a unique dress, a historic venue, and TONS of balloons! All of their special moments throughout the day, the first look, ceremony, and first dance, all had their own accompanying balloon installation, supplied by Girl Friday Creative! Hannah’s favorite part of the day, besides getting married to the love of her life of course, was the balloons that brought her vision alive.
Hannah was not only the bride at her wedding, but the wedding planner, meaning she got to see her dream come to life in more ways than one. Their venue, Machine Shop, is a super open, spacious venue, giving clients lots of room to play with the setup! In addition to the aforementioned balloons, the venue was full of glowing candles, enormous floral arrangements, and tons of sparkle. The venue’s simple structure adorned with glitz and glamour mirrored Hannah’s look for the day, who wore a simple by elegant dress amped up by bejeweled accessories! Her dress was a fun departure from the lace wedding dresses that seem to be having a moment right now and seemed oh-so-Hannah.
Hannah and Jason’s entire day was marked by tears, laughter, and lots of smiles. If we had to pick one highlight of the day, it would be their first dance. There is nothing more magical than balloons cascading over you and the love of your life as you share your first dance as husband and wife! We know that once all the balloons have deflated and the candles have been blown out, these two will continue to find magic in their everyday. Congrats you two!
