I met Maren through mutual friends and our paths crossed every so often. When Maren reached out to me to photograph their wedding I was so excited to meet Jon for the first time and get to know them both. They had told me bits and parts of the details going into their day and that the venue was important to them since they both have family ties in Sweden. I had a vision in my mind how the day might be, but holy cow was it beautiful and so absolutely perfect for them!
Their day brought us to The American Swedish Institute and began with just the two of them. They didn’t have a wedding party but had heavily involved both of their sisters and a mutual friend that officiated the ceremony. The swapped the cocktail hour to have it before the ceremony with passed Swedish bites by FIKA. This gave them a chance to greet everyone so by the time of the ceremony everyone was warmed up. A choir group that Jon’s sister is in, surprised everyone with a song at the top of the stairs and filled the room with chills. They had the dance floor kicked off by Jake Rudh’s Transmission for a night of dancing to post-punk, new wave, and indie music that had everyone cranking out their best moves.
Congratulations to Maren and Jon on their marriage!
