Melissa + Gavin | Lake Superior Yacht Yard Wedding
Let’s begin with a few hard facts: Melissa made her own wedding dress-skirt. Melissa made her own dress-top (with the help from mom to finish it the morning of the wedding). And Melissa made her own bouquet (the morning of the wedding). On a day where many people have a hard time even remembering to feed themselves, Melissa and Gavin, with their family and best friends, put together one of the most relaxed, joy-filled, lovely wedding day’s we have ever experienced – all while planning it from afar or doing it the morning of!
Melissa + Gavin chose to say their vows (with Gavin’s best man officiating, of course) and celebrate their wedding at the Lake Superior Yacht Yard, a destination location for everyone involved. The day was perfectly warm and gorgeous, guests enjoyed dinner from local food trucks, and the evening was capped by releasing Chinese lanterns into the night sky (and thankfully, no trees were set on fire, not that anyone was worried or anything…).
Thank you, Melissa and Gavin, for allowing us to capture your stunning day!
