Kayla + Andy // married

Kayla and Andy's wedding was truly the most beautiful day.   So many thoughtful details sprinkled throughout the day really made it one of a kind.  From the "his and hers" pickle jar favors (both cherished family recipes!) to the vintage mismatched plates, every detail was a perfect fit - just like the couple.

The couple decided to forego a "first look" for the more traditional option and Kayla's entrance was beautiful and emotion-filled.  We followed the ceremony with photos outside the country church  and also managed to squeeze some in at Kayla's family farm which was extra special!   

LuceLine Orchards is the sweetest place and was a lovely setting for their celebration.  The silky white tent and impeccable blooms gave the country wedding just the right touch of elegance.   A special mother-son polka, tearful toasts, one very entertaining dj, a very cool band - just some of the highlights from a fun and memorable reception!   And of course stealing the bride and groom away to photograph among the vines was a treat (it's not too often a MN girl gets to photograph in a vineyard!)

Kayla + Andy - it was an absolute honor being there to document your special day!!  Wishing you many many happy years ahead! 

Lindsey + Nate // Riley Jacques Barn Reception

A hot Summer night, music & food trucks, cocktails & yard games...  does it get much better?

Louis is ONE // a birthday celebration

Such a special day celebrating a very special boy.   Family came (from states away!) to celebrate sweet little Louis.  He stole the show (and rightly so!) with his clapping, walking, giggles, and the cutest dimples I've ever seen!  Louis - you are so loved and it makes me so happy to know you'll have these memories to look back on as you grow :)

Emily & Kirt - thank you for having me there to document this very special day!!
