Ben and Nikki got married last month in Cabo, Mexico. When I asked Nikki how it was she said “Perfect”

I love that answer, isn’t that how every wedding day should be.

Since Ben and Nikki did a destination wedding not everyone was able to attend. So when they got back to Minnesota they planned a big party to celebrate with all their family and friends.

I dont know about you but I think being able to wear your wedding dress more then once sounds pretty awesome.

They held their reception at the beautiful Elm Creek Park Reserve Chalet and the weather was magnificent! You couldn’t have asked for a better Minnesota day.

Congratulations Ben and Nikki!

Sweet Baby Hazel

I just have to share this session!!!! I love all newborn sessions so much, but I especially love when they are full of baby details! I am a self-proclaimed detail junky- I love homes and the things inside of them that tell the stories of the people who live there.

The walls covered in photographs of families and friends. Or art that means something. In our home, we have a small painting that was hand painted by Jason’s grandfather on our wall. It’s one of my favorite things. These are the little things that make a house a home to the people that live in it.

Hazel was born August 23rd, 2016. She is such a sweet little baby and so very loved by her mama, daddy, and big brother. Today, take time to enjoy the little things that make up your home, and this sweet session.

A classic story of boy meets girl! Boy is with a group of friends and so is girl. Those friends all happen to be at the same place, Zorbas on the lake for the weekend. Boy and girl lock eyes and there starts a love story!

My favorite moment of Evan and Trisha’s wedding day was the look on Evan’s face when he saw her for the first time. Trisha looked stunning in her lace dress. It was the perfect dress for her. His eyes lit up and I have never seen a smile so big!

The day was cold and windy but everyone in the wedding party were troopers, braving the cold for pictures. I guess though here in Minnesota it could have been so much worse. The day was perfect and so well done by Trisha and Evan. I loved that both the ceremony and reception were held at Rockwoods in Otsego, MN. It made for an awesome guest experience, especially for those who had traveled a long distance to be there.

My favorite detail of the day was the penny that Trisha placed in her shoe. The note and penny holder where passed down from her grandmother, the penny was from the year that Evan and Trisha met. It stood for good luck, was her something blue, something old and something borrowed. Those kind of intimate details get me so fired up.

Congratulations Evan & Trisha and thank you for inviting me into your story.
