Jubilant Industrial Chic Wedding at The 4 Eleven

May 8, 2023

Mark and Mikaela are two thoughtful, real, genuine people. The couple are both nurses, and they brought their care and kindness with them into their wedding planning. 

They’re both half Mexican, so they incorporated their culture by including a mariachi band! They also brought in their history as a couple by using real playbills from all the plays and musicals they had seen together as centerpieces.

Between the mariachi band and music from Hamilton, the night was a SUPER fun dance party. 

I also loved their coed bouquet toss. I’m always here for when couples update traditions to fit what works for them and their style. 

It’s always an honor to be a part of a couple’s story by photographing their wedding, and Mark and Mikaela were no exception!

Are you planning a wedding where you’re looking to express your own story, culture, and interests? I’d love to help make it happen!
