Mellie and Hamish’s Norwegian/Australian wedding at Lageret Studio, a converted paper factory full of raw industrial beauty, was a roller coaster of emotion and celebration. The bride started her wedding day in the hospital but didn’t let illness hold her back, discharging herself, getting ready as quickly as possible and surprising her groom at their beautiful ceremony on the forest’s edge overlooking a lake outside of Oslo. Huge windows, bright white, and open spaces decorated with a cozy bohemian ambiance by wedding planner Trine Thorsen created a carefree fusion of the forest ceremony and urban reception. The bride’s Grace Loves Lace wedding gown echoed the relaxed ethereal atmosphere with flutter sleeves, a romantic open back, and delicate French lace.

The Shannons Photography captured so many truly beautiful and emotional moments of this stunning couple and their guests looking happy and healthy. The Couple:
