Luis and Cara went all out for the decoration at their Harry Potter themed wedding. More images from the reception down below, but even the invitations and paper flowers I saw during bridal prep were exquisitely done.

Photographer Kerrie was with the guys while I handled bride and bridesmaid getting ready images. This all lead up to our wonderful first look on the third floor of the Old Crown Point Courthouse.

Make up artist Myra Crawford was on hand as was Under the Veil for hair.

The First Look…

Cara and Luis chose to have a first look so they could enjoy their day and not rush around for photos after the ceremony. It was a beautiful moment as they came together. We then snuck outside before thunderstorms hit and we also went back inside the historic wedding venue for more romantic wedding pictures of the happy couple.

The ceremony was held in the old courtroom on the third floor. Cara was all smiles being escorted down the aisle and the groom celebrated with her as they exited.

This is just a small sampling of the Harry Potter themed decor of the wedding reception inside Maki Ballroom. We did our usual candid wedding photography coverage for the cocktail hour and reception - capturing real moments as guests interacted.
