Okay, so I can’t help that I get a little teary, on occasion, when we’re photographing a wedding. I mean, how can I help it? We see people who love each other so much that they are committing their lives to each other. And the fact that we get to witness that? Pretty special, I’d say.

I may or may not have teared up a little during Sara and Al’s wedding. I’m not gonna tell you for sure, but I will say that I probably (maybe) had to search around in my camera bag for a kleenex. It’s pretty special thing to be part of something so special and these guys are no exception. One part of their day that really stood out to me were the minutes before they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. They had written letters to each other to read before their first glance. You can see a few photos of that moment in the post below… they were each on their own side of the corner of a building, reading the words they had for each other. Then they held hands, peeked around the corner, and boom: Love.

Their lovely ceremony was at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Courtland, MN and their reception was at the Holiday Inn in New Ulm. We started out the day photographing at Schells Brewery in New Ulm (such a cool place!). It was a wonderful (warm, but wonderful) day!

P.S. Excuse my sentimentality, folks. Cory just made me coffee for the hundred millionth time, and I started thinking about love.

Sarah and Adrian’s wedding was so elegant and beautiful! Their ceremony and reception were at Midland Hills Country Club in Roseville, MN. Even though there was a chance of rain all day, the sun came out and they ended up having the perfect day for a wedding.

Congrats, Sarah and Adrian! We loved photographing your day!

Tricia and Jake’s wedding was so much fun. It was a very hot, humid day, but despite the heat it was an amazing wedding with a beautiful couple. Their ceremony and reception were at Millennium Garden and Plymouth Creek Center in Plymouth, MN.

Every where we turned there were great moments to photograph… we were so happy to be part of their day!

Jon and Nikki’s wedding was a definite blast. They have such a great sense of humor with each other and had a lot of fun on their big day! Their ceremony was at St. Casimir’s Church in Wells, MN. Their reception was at the Kato Ballroom in Mankato. The weather was amazing, the wedding party fun, and the details beautiful.

Congrats, Jon and Nikki! It was so much fun being part of your day!

Abbey and Jeff’s wedding was full of gorgeous details (most of them handmade by Abbey!). Their ceremony was at Immaculate Conception Church in Pine City, MN and their reception was held at Tobies in Hinckley, MN. It’s always fun being in the presence of love, and this day was full of it.

Congrats, guys! You’re a special couple and we were so honored to be part of your day!
