Mia & Aaron
When the rain joined the party
November 8th, 2025
Our OMG moment:
Mia and Aaron brought so much warmth to a chilly November night. From the start, you could tell how intentional they are — every choice had a story behind it. The guys wore thrifted brooches, each one personally chosen by Mia for its meaning. Their sunset ceremony was timed perfectly because it’s their favorite moment to watch the sky together. Little things like that said a lot about who they are.
And just when it looked like the weather might mess with the plan, the universe had other ideas. A little rain turned into something beautiful — portraits under a rainbow. Like their photographer Molly said, “They surrendered to the universe.” We couldn’t have said it better.
What we’ll remember:
This wedding had a perfect mix of heart and fun. A surprise Mamma Mia flash mob (organized by Mia’s sister) turned the night into a full-blown party, and the Umbrella Photobooth team made sure everyone left with Polaroids and laughs.
Once the music kicked in, DJs Spencelove and Riche Niche from @alternativeweddingdjs took it from heartfelt to hype — blending personal picks with dance floor favorites. Between the Husker football buzz, the wine, and nonstop energy, it was one of those nights that just kept going.
The Playlists:
Their list was the perfect blend of “these are our songs” and “okay, let’s get this place moving.” Nothing felt out of place — it just worked.
A little note from Mia:
“Everything was amazing — and I’m still physically recovering from dancing all night. I still can’t walk normal. Spencer and Erin totally killed it!!”

We left that night reminded of why we do this — couples who don’t just plan a wedding, but create a whole experience around love, laughter, and their favorite people. Rain and all, Mia and Aaron made it magic.
