Wedding Date: December 6th 2024

Phoebe and Adam’s wedding day felt like stepping into a timeless holiday novel. It was cozy, romantic, and full of heartfelt moments. With the Saint Paul College Club already dressed in its holiday best and the sun setting early this time of year, everything felt soft, glowing, and extra magical. The Saint Paul College Club, with its festive decor and warm, historic charm, was the perfect setting for their winter celebration.

Phoebe and Adam chose to begin their day with a first look, and it was the sweetest moment. They saw each other for the first time at the bottom of the grand staircase decorated with beautiful flowers and greenery. Adam’s face when he turned around to see Phoebe was absolutely unforgettable. She looked stunning, and the moment between them was full of joy, love, and just a hint of that pre-ceremony giddiness. They took a quiet moment to exchange handwritten notes. With no rush and no crowd around them, they read each other's words in the soft glow of fading light, and it felt like the world slowed down just for them.

There was no traditional wedding party, just a few close friends who joined in for portraits shortly after. The energy was light and full of laughter and exactly the kind of company that makes you feel loved and celebrated. We then moved into family photos as the evening settled in. With the holidays just around the corner, there was an extra layer of warmth in every hug, every laugh, and every group photo.

By the time guests began to arrive, the Saint Paul College Club was glowing. Candles were lit, greenery tucked in every corner, and the florals were truly incredible. Romantic and rich, they filled the space with color and softness. When the ceremony began the room fell quiet as Phoebe walked in. Adam waited, calm and glowing, and the space filled with the kind of hush. Their ceremony was heartfelt and intentional with every word chosen with care. When they were finally pronounced married, their smiles could’ve lit the room on their own. After the recessional, they took a few minutes alone just the two of them. No cameras, no guests, just a breath to soak it all in together. These quiet little pockets of time often become the most special.

As the evening continued, guests were welcomed into the reception space, now entirely transformed. The candlelight flickered against the dark windows, the room filled with soft music and the clinking of glasses. Phoebe and Adam made their grand entrance, greeted by cheers and big smiles. Toasts followed, filled with laughter and touching stories, the kind that make you feel even more in love with the couple than you already were. After a lovely dessert, it was time to shift into the dancing portion of the night.

Their first dance was slow and sweet, with candlelight wrapping around the room. Right before the night fully swept them away, we snuck outside for a quiet evening stroll. The cold air was crisp, the lights from inside twinkled through the windows, and Phoebe and Adam walked hand-in-hand under the stars. It was peaceful, romantic, and the perfect way to close out such a beautiful day.
