Yesterday was an absolute dream! I don’t think there are any words to describe how incredible it was. Chrissy from Special Occassion Design and Lora and Amanda from Magical Moments Event Planning brought together an amazing group of vendors to create a beautiful upscale styled wedding shoot at the Allison Mansion on Marian University’s campus.

I had never heard of the Allison Mansion before, but my goodness, this place is one of the most gorgeous venues I’ve had the pleasure of shooting in. The stunning architecture, the white marble walls and floors, and the unbeatable natural light from all of the windows and the stained glass ceiling make for a wedding photographer’s dream location! I’m hoping some of my 2019 and 2020 couples decide to get married here!

Special Occassion Design by Chrissy created the most beautiful florals! Can we just talk about how good she is at what she does?! My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the elegant, high-end florals she created. They complimented the vintage feel of the venue so well. And I love how much color Chrissy likes to use in her designs. Check out the amazing floral “arch” that we used as a backdrop for the ceremony set up as well as the sweetheart table.

This shoot was honestly one of my favorite styled shoots of all time. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do. Scroll to the end to see the entire list of amazing vendors! And stop by the blog again tomorrow to see the behind the scenes of all of the vendors in action during the shoot (including one of me)!
