Dan and Lauren
August 3rd, 2019
Background of how they met:
“Dan and I met at Normandale Community College where we both work, but it wasn’t until we saw each other at Vertical Endevours (rock climbing gym) that we started talking. I work in Disability services and he is an economics instructor.” – Lauren
How he proposed:
“Dan proposed to me on our weekend trip to the North shore right on Lake Superior. I love the outdoors and water, so I couldn’t have asked for a better proposal. He also surprised me by booking my dream venue, and writing up a journal of the proposal process.” – Lauren
What they love to do together:
“Dan and I are adventurous people we spend our free time doing acro yoga, rock climbing, hiking, and being outside. We love the outdoors and I especially love the water.” – Lauren
The Wedding Day:
Dan and Lauren’s wedding day was located at the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their wedding was inspired by the Beauty and the Beast so it was full of romantic and elegant details! Dan and Lauren’s wedding was filled with grand entrances down the staircase, tears of love and happiness, and laughter all around.
After the ceremony, we tried to do some bride and groom portraits at the Lake of the Isles until it began to DOWNPOUR, despite the forecast saying nothing about rain! This left us with only 5 minutes of running into the rain for a few photos in front of a willow tree. SO. WORTH. IT.
My favorite moments of the day was the father-daughter first look when Lauren and her dad shared some tears, the grand entrance of Lauren walking down the staircase with her dad, the deep and heart-felt speeches, and the special moments Dan and Lauren shared together during portraits as they just wanted to get all the photos together that they could.
Lauren, I’m so happy that you found your prince. Dan, I hope you always remember to dance with your princess as you both climb into your future together!
