If you want to see a DIY, absolutely hot dang bomb type of wedding, this is it. Mackenzie and Kevin and their amazing magical wedding helpers pulled off a day that encapsulated their entire love story. As many of my couples do, they tinkered their reception venue (Happy Days Lodge) with bits of themselves, inviting guests to enjoy some things they do.

From commemorating their kitties, to an entire popcorn bar, to homemade beer cookies and an ever-flowing tap. Not to mention the bride / groom steins and table decor, flaunting the growlers from some of their favorite local breweries.  They had a photo booth and string lights (you know that makes my heart flutter). Even though this wedding was in early November, we even had a small layer of snow to accompany the outside! Soooo scroll on down to see some of my favorite details!
