Neither had really been looking for the other. Anne was on Bumble one night and showed Logan’s profile to her sister. She swiped away and the two ended up going out on their first date which became another and another until the two were a couple.
One beautiful afternoon, Logan decided to surprise Anne with a trip to Stillwater. After walking the town and just being together, the two climbed to the top of the “stairway to heaven” staircase that overlooked the city of Stillwater. Once at the top, Logan got down on one knee as asked Anne to marry him!
Their fall wedding day was filled with all kinds of weather, from mist and cold, to a beautiful golden hour and sunshine. It was truly a day for friends and family to travel to the beautiful Grands at Mulligans to celebrate with the couple.
Happy tears were shed when Anne’s father saw her for the first time and as the two walked down the aisle. Even her brothers had a hard time holding tears back!
Anne’s beautiful lace wedding dress from the Wedding Shoppe paired perfectly with the periwinkle dresses that the bridesmaids wore. The baby’s breath and greenery bouquets popped when paired with the navy suits that the men wore.
Being that both families are very close, most of the wedding party consisted of siblings and in-laws. We all laughed though the misty rain and spent time toasting and making the most of the weather throughout the day.
The sun came out in all it’s glory at the perfect time of the night to being us a stunning golden hour!
Anne and Logan, what a joy it was to spend the day with you. I was so honored to be able to capture this incredible day with your family and friends and wish you so many blessings as you walk into married life!

1) Use the veil. There are so many times while a bride just wants to take out her veil when the wind is gusting, but my advice to you would be to keep it in (at least for a while!) Use this to your advantage, to wrap up in, let it fly and open it up to create leading lines to a face while helping clients remember what the elements of the day felt like!
2) Walk or face into the wind. Hair will fly backwards and veil will fly upwards or sideways. Use this to capture movement and memories.
3) If you are photographing clients, specifically girls, I LOVE having shots of hair flying all over the place. Oftentimes this brings a carefree look and feel to the photo that I think perfectly captures the age. 
Hope that helps a bit as you prepare to use the elements that the day brings you and helps you see why even a windy day can bring out some of the most beautiful photos.
Their July day was full of family and friends that gathered from all over the central Minnesota area. The couple decided to have their ceremony at their home church,
Chelsey’s lace 
Because Chelsey and her family grew up where they had their reception, we utilized so many meaningful places.
The old school house, where she and her siblings used to play, created a beautiful backdrop for photos.
We were also able to jump into the horse pasture with some of the horses that Chelsey still rides when she is at home.
