Kia & Keng

Celebrated their big day at Keystone Wedding and Events Center located in Hugo, Minnesota. They had a beautiful mix of traditional Hmong and American features for their wedding.

Beauty & Beast Themed

The bride absolutely loves Beauty and the Beast and did an incredible job showcasing her love for the Disney Movie. I also loved seeing the pre-wedding session printed and showing as the guests arrived.

two dresses

The bride had two dresses that she wore for her wedding. The one on the left was for her reception and ballgown dress for the dance. The one on the right was for the ceremony. She also had two beautiful pairs of shoes that she wore with these two dresses. The roses that you see in these photos were her ring holders which was a nod to the theme of Beauty and the Beast.
