Jenna & Camilo:: Columbia Manor Wedding

She was touring the world by herself.  Independent and free, the natural born swimmer, turned rower, Jenna, found herself in the country of Colombia.  With its beautiful beaches, she had to row in its waters and it was there that she met Camilo, a rowing coach.  Kind and humorous, she fell for him and began seeing him daily.  The two hit off a friendship and eventually began dating.

With a long commute from one end of the city to the other, and unsafe for a woman, the two decided upon a civil marriage.  Wanting to abide by the country’s laws and customs, Camilo and Jenna, in shorts and t-shirts were married in a court house in Columbia.  Their growing friendship later became love and the two moved to the United States.  Always wanting the fall wedding, they decided on a vow renewal/ larger ceremony in October (because legally they were wed in the United States in May).

It was a glorious fall day; the air was crisp and the leaves were at peak.  The vegan food they both love was incredible, as was Jenna’s grandfather’s song in the middle of their ceremony. The couple joked that they were now pushing for one more ceremony, just to complete the four seasons, but in all reality they threw a great party that I was thrilled to be a part of.

Thank you Camilo and Jenna for allowing me into your beautiful day; it was a joy and honor to celebrate with you!

Bryan & Alison:: Grandview Lodge Wedding

He stepped into the Chicago coffee shop not knowing who he was looking for.  In the corner, he spied a beautiful blonde woman who looked up and waved.  He knew from that minute, that Alison was different than all the rest.  He smiled back, sat down and ordered a latte.  She in turn ordered a mimosa.  The two hit it off, sharing their love of the outdoors and hockey.  One date became many, and then a friendship, and finally a beautiful relationship where eventually Bryan found himself on one knee asking this beautiful woman to be his wife.

Alison and Bryan knew they wanted to have an outdoor ceremony along the waters of the midwest.  Moving back to the Minneapolis area from Chicago, they found themselves drawn to the North Shore and the lakes of Minnesota.  The two eventually decided on Grandview Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota where their friends and family from out of state could enjoy the picturesque lakes and fall colors, as well as stay a long weekend at a relaxing resort.  Alison wore a Paloma Bridal dress from the Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul while Bryan sported a Joseph Abbound navy suit and bow tie.  Bridesmaids wore navy dresses purchased from David’s Bridal and peach shawls to keep them warm on the brisk fall day.  Gull Lake was perfectly still and scenic as the couple posed with a garden style bouquet from Bloom Designs that contained home grown dahlias, garden roses, astilbe and pepper berry.  Friends and family dined on walleye (a fish local to MN lakes) and different flavored cakes created from Daniela Sutin.

It was one incredible fall day, perfect to capture the essence of October in Minnesota.  Thank you Alison and Bryan for including me in your beautiful wedding day! Many blessings as you walk this new road of marriage!

    Dan & Laura:: The Firehouse Chicago Wedding

    The two met while working at the Apple store in Chicago. Both being from the midwest, they just clicked.  Not that Dan and Laura were anything alike, Dan being very logical and Laura more artistic with a bohemian flair. But maybe it was just that.  They complimented each other well and balanced one another out, and that is exactly what led Dan to propose to Laura.  While woking on the garden plot the two share in the city, Dan asked Laura to be his wife, and they two set out to planning their September Chicago wedding.

    Because the wedding held lots of out of town guests, Laura and Dan wanted a smaller outdoor venue where they could mingle with friends.  They found the Firehouse in the Edgewater neighborhood to be the perfect mix of historic architecture along with a boho vintage flair.  Vines trellised around the building which was centered in the middle of a beautiful Chicago neighborhood that their wedding party perused together for photos before the ceremony. After their beautiful outdoor ceremony at dusk, guests were given appetizers from a local Chicago restaurant, which consisted of their favorite foods, Indian, Mexican, and German.  Signature drinks with whisky, Dan’s favorite, were at the bar.  Laura’s bouquets and flower crowns were from local flower gardens and her grandmother had brought in Zinnias from her Iowa farm that Katie from Art Farm Blooms incorporated into the organic bouquets and table arrangements.  The bridesmaids chose their own dresses from Zara and All Saints, to compliment Laura’s Amanda Archer Romance gown made by Mignoette Bridal and her John Fluevog shoes.  The couple was introduced as Laura slid down the fire pole and took off her veil to a floral crown of her own and danced to the tunes pulled together by Toast and Jams.

    It was an gorgeous day to spend with these two amazing people and their guests.  I was so honored to be a part of it and hope that your honeymoon to Ireland is incredible!

      Corey & Kelsie:: Courtyards of Andover Wedding

       

      Moving and going out to Mankato State University, neither of them were looking for one another, but that is exactly how Corey and Kelsie ended up with each other!  While working a side job at CVS Pharmacy, Corey and Kelsie’s paths crossed and it wasn’t long after the two began dating.  Both knew it was serious after three months and Corey began plans in asking Kelsie to be his wife.

      One beautiful afternoon, the two decided to head to Minnehaha Falls in Minnneapolis.  Corey suggested they go to the bottom to get a better view and when they reached the base of the waterfall, he got down on one knee and asked Kelsie to be his wife.

      Their September wedding day at The Courtyards of Andover was gorgeous. Kelsie wore a Stella York dress with JJ House purple shoes to match the decor of the day.  The eggplant David’s Bridal bridesmaid dresses were elegant and stunning on each of the bridesmaids.

      It was such an honor to be able to photograph Kelsie and Corey.  Kelsie and I grew up in the same church and I was fortunate enough to be one of her youth leaders when I was in college and she was in high school.  Seeing her family and friends were such a blessing, but being able to witness and meet Corey as her husband was an even greater gift. I couldn’t have asked for a better fall day to spend with these two kind people and their wedding party.  Kelsie and Corey, thank you of allowing me to be a part of your wedding day.  I wish you much joy and happiness for years to come!

        Matt & Jenny:: Territory Golf Club Wedding

        When Jenny and Matt were set up by their co-worker and friend, neither one of them imagined that they would end up together. It was no surprise to many that the competitive hockey player and figure skater would make a good match, it was pure Cutting Edge style and the two fit the parts almost perfectly! After dating for a few years, Matt took Jenny to Jax Cafe and proposed,  then took her on a European vacation to celebrate!

        Their September wedding day was incredible.  The two decided on a Friday wedding, so that their out of state friends and family would be able to enjoy the long holiday weekend and stay to celebrate more.  We ventured around the area of St. Cloud for photographs and ended at the Territory Golf Club where the two were married on the green late in the afternoon.   The evening was filled with laughter and kindness as the two emanated that to all around them.  Thank you Jenny and Matt for allowing me to be a part of your day, you are both beautiful people inside and out!
