Janet and Tim

Wedding Date: July 6th 2024

Sometimes I have the privilege of witnessing a union that feels like it was written in the stars, Janet and Tim's wedding was one of those magical days. It was clear from the moment I met them that their connection was something special. You know that classic saying, "when you know, you know"? Janet and Tim are the perfect example of how timing and fate can come together to create something truly beautiful. 

Blending families can be challenging, but this union was a celebration from the start. Friends and family had been eagerly awaiting this day, and when it finally arrived, you could feel the love and excitement in the air. Janet prepared for her big moment, surrounded by her closest loved ones. She stood in front of a window at Windows on Minnesota, taking in the breathtaking view of the city skyline, and with one last deep breath, she was ready.

The ceremony was nothing short of a dream. Janet and Tim’s love for music is a big part of who they are, so it was no surprise that their wedding would reflect this. Jenna Culley went above and beyond and arranged for Sons of Serendip, a band they adored from America’s Got Talent, to perform at their ceremony. As Janet walked down the aisle toward Tim, the band’s music filled the room, setting the tone for a one-of-a-kind celebration.

What made their ceremony truly unique was that it felt more like an intimate concert than a traditional wedding. The couple joined the band on stage to exchange their vows, with their favorite songs playing in between the meaningful moments. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience with these front-row seats reserved for one night only! The highlight of the ceremony was when they performed "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours" as Janet and Tim signed their marriage license. It brought the house down.

After one of the most epic ceremonies I’ve ever photographed, guests gathered outside for a lively cocktail hour before heading back inside for the reception. Janet and Tim had carefully planned every detail, including the seating chart, which was wrapped around stunning pillars featuring their favorite engagement photos. The reception was a continuation of the great energy that started during the ceremony. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, with friends and family of all ages enjoying the music. The only thing that could pull people away was the incredible late-night snacks.

From the heartfelt toasts to the unforgettable music, Janet and Tim’s wedding was a win in every way. It was a celebration of love, family, and the joy that comes from knowing you’ve found the person you’re meant to spend your life with.
