Mr + Mrs Larsen | 07.29.23 | and together they’ll keep on flying ✈︎
// a teacher. a pilot. a dog named charlie. a morning rain + sign of good luck. a fresh bouquet of flowers. a cubs/cardinals rivalry. a type a personality. a type “I’ll take care of it for you honey” personality. shades of dusty blues and kicking off the dancing shoes.
I first met Mallory at her sisters house to get ready. While she travels a lot for work, if there’s one thing about her, she’s got it all put together. Of course, having three loving older sisters & her mother certainly helped.
Every dress was hung with care & a personalized hanger. The backdrop was set up & prepared. The bus was stocked for our afternoon journey.
After we finished up our details & getting ready, it was time to head to Elmwood Park. Where the couple would wed in the hot summer sun at 2pm.
The location felt like a hidden garden amongst the park. Gorgeous green trees like the pathways & added a touch of romance.
The ceremony was short + sweet and truthfully, just cut to the chase. But was lightly full of tears & laughter.
“The appropriate answer is to just say “I do” per their friend & officiant.
As the couple gave their last kiss in the middle of the aisle, the bride lifted up her arm with her flowers… directly covering my shot.
Without a moments hesitation, Andrew grabbed her arm and casually brought it down to her side.
And that’s when I realized who else had it all put together.
You see, all those times when Mallory couldn’t make it to the cake or food tasting or needed help; Andrew stepped in. To make sure his bride had exactly what she wanted. 🥹
Eventually, we made our way to the bus.
And it was time for some light hearted fun. We found our way to Billy Frogs, a spot went on their very first date. And made our way back to the bus through the Old Market.
At last it was time for the grand finale.

A delicious meal by @attitudeonfood (and can we talk about that amazing cake?) with a whole lot more dancing.
Congratulations you perfect two. 💍
