North Oaks Golf Club Wedding:: Brian and Kelsey

Posted in Classic, Fall, Minneapolis, Minnesota wedding, WeddingsTags: , , , , , ,

Each June, Brian and Kelsey go up to northern Minnesota to camp, followed by a stay in Duluth. In June of 2018, when the couple was in Duluth, they had just had dinner at a Japanese restaurant on Lake Avenue. Brian said it would a great idea to go down to the lift bridge one more time and walk down the pier to see the sunset. It was so much colder than both of us had planned for and the rain jackets they brought couldn’t withstand the wind, so they huddled together. Before deciding to head back to the hotel, they watched the sun go down. Brian stopped Kelsey before they went down the stairs and she thought he was tripping. As it turned out, he was getting down on one knee and pulling a ring box out of his pocket. Surprised and overjoyed Kelsey answered yes!

Their October wedding day was full of surprises. An early snowfall and unusually cold day did not keep us from being outside in the beautiful fall foliage. Kelsey and Brian were wed in the beautiful Church of Saint Pius X where Kelsey leads the church in music. Because the couple are both highly involved in lives of music, Kelsey an elementary music teacher and Brian a highly skilled music technician, there were beautiful pieces within their ceremony.

After the wedding, we headed to a beautiful park that Kelsey and Brian walk at frequently and was full of beautiful colored trees. Despite the weather, we managed couple and wedding party photos outdoors as their southern based bridesmaids were troopers amidst the cold!

North Oaks Golf Club provided a beautiful wedding space for the couple, and we were able to use many of the green space and side paths for wedding party photos.

What a wonderful October day it was, congratulations to both Kelsey and Brian!

    Boom Island Engagement Session:: Robert and Rachel

    Posted in Engagement, MinneapolisTags: , , , , , , , ,

    Rachel and Robert have been high school sweethearts, so it was no surprise to anyone that they would be getting married. It was only a matter of time! Mid fall Robert decided to take Rachel up to one of their favorite places in Minnesota, the North Shore. He sneakily had his good friend and sisters in on the plan and they drove up ahead of him and Rachel and headed to the scoped out area they had talked about.

    It was a cold and rainy day and Robert suggested taking a walk. Rachel wasn’t super interested in it but she was happy to be with Robert and the two set out.

    As they walked, Robert kept his calm and conversation until they stopped at a beautiful location mid walk. He then got down on one knee and asked Rachel to be his wife. His friends, hidden in the bushes, snapped photos of Rachel saying yes, and then they all popped out to congratulate them!

      This past fall I had the honor of meeting the Hoeft Family. A beautiful fall evening greeted us as we walked a park in Maple Grove. Her sweet son smiled the session away and his hair was something I could not get enough of!

          Silverwood wedding:: Brenna and Jake

          Posted in Classic, Minneapolis, Minnesota wedding, Weddings, WinterTags: , , , , , , , , , ,

          Jake & Brenna met in Rapid City, SD where they were both working as resident assistants (RAs) at the South Dakota School of Mines during college. It was Brenna’s first year as an RA and she was ecstatic to be placed on the same floor she had lived on as a freshman. She later learned that Jake was also ecstatic… to be RAs on the same floor as a “cute girl named Brenna”. Being a year older and thus a more experienced RA, Jake was responsible for showing Brenna the ropes – how to do nightly rounds of the dorm, planning events, and submitting paperwork. The two spent a lot of time together getting to know our residents and each other as we attended RA meetings, planned events for our residents, and studied together.

          As RAs, the two were encouraged to follow the “open door” policy, where we kept the doors to our dorm rooms open the first few weeks of class to encourage our residents to swing by and say hi. This made it easy for Jake and Brenna to get to know each other. Every time she passed by his room, they’d stop and chat, play his Nintendo 64, or feed our floor’s beta fish, Moses.

          As both Jake and Brenna got to know their residents, they constantly called us “Mom” and “Dad” when they took care of them by feeding them free food, and even reading them a bedtime story. As time went on, the idea of being a couple felt more and more natural – they already had 96 residents calling us “Mom” and “Dad”! In April of 2015, to none of our residents’ surprise, Brenna and Jake began dating. Since then, The two have survived over 2.5 years of long distance and are unbelievably excited to reside in the same city and home after their wedding. (Written by Brenna)

          Jake and Brenna’s winter wedding day was filled with all the winter elements ranging from Ice to snow and sleet to even rain. Despite all the weather, the two still braved the elements and went outside between bouts of rain and snow.

          It was a beautiful day for this beautiful couple and their joy was contagious. Thank you so much for making me feel like a life long friend and for all the joy you expressed on your wedding day! Congratulations!
