Wedding photogrpher

Alex and Kelly were married on June 17th, 2017 in Taylors Falls, Minnesota at the beautiful Maple Ridge Farm.

I have been looking forward to this barn wedding for months. The moment I saw that big swing in the barn online my heart skipped a beat! It was everything I thought it would be.

Alex and Kelly have known each other for years! Their relaxed relationship with one another is going to make for a wonderful marriage. They are that kind of “friend” to one another that you always imagine yourself growing old with. They share a mutual love for things that go vroom; Motorcycles, fast cars, jeeps, and all cool engines. You know when your bride pulls up in a bright yellow mustang looking like Hollywood that it’s going to be a great day.

Kelly had driven her mustang to one of our meetings before the wedding day and, as she was leaving, our daughter Paisley yelled out, “Wow, that car is awesome!!!” That comment made both of our days!

The day started with Kelly and her girls all getting ready at the hotel. The guys had spent the night at the barn house and were getting ready there! Alex and Kelly had chosen not to do a first look but to see each other for the first time that day when Kelly got down the isle. My favorite moment of the day was when Alex read a letter that Kelly had written to him. His face says it all in the images!

It was such a beautiful day full of joy and happy tears. Alex and Kelly danced the night away with friends and family. They will soon be on their way to Alaska on their honeymoon to travel the state and fish. It sounds delightful.

Thank you so much Alex and Kelly for having me, it was an honor.

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.
