Hooray! The first photos as Mr. and Mrs. are the BEST! | MN Wedding Photography

THIS! A photo can capture the best of all the feelings of your wedding day, and what all that (sometimes grueling) work of preparing for it is for. It takes months and months of countless hours toiling away with wedding plans, decisions, plan Bs… and then, Boom! You’re married. You have become one with your soulmate and boy, does it feel good! It’s all official, the logistics are taken care of, and now it’s time to really celebrate! These are the moments that you want to remember forever.

Mr. & Mrs.... It's official!
Mr. & Mrs…. It’s official!

 

 

This picture of the bride and groom seems to capture that hoo-rah camaraderie with friends and family that, “yes, we are in this for the long haul.”

Z + A Carlson Wedding, Ruttger’s Birchmont Lodge, Bemidji Town & Country Club | MN Wedding Photographer

Z + A had an absolutely beautiful day for their wedding. With a quick passing thunderstorm, the showers brought a beautiful rainbow out to encourage them to wait out the sprinkles and say their I Do’s just they way they had planned them! They were married under the pergola at Ruttger’s as the sun glistened around them. Then we all rode across Lake Bemidji on the pontoon, for a fabulous bridal party excursion before the reception. They arrived in the sunset glow to their reception at Bemidji Town & Country Club. It was decorated splendidly and everything tied together so lovingly with their themes of love and togetherness.  DQ Dilly bars topped the dinner off and the dance (led by Jamie with Extreme DJ and Karaoke Bemidji) rocked away all night!

Wedding Day for the Weigels | St. Philip’s Catholic Church and The Sanford Event Center in Bemidji, MN. Paul & Babe, Lake Bemidji Waterfront | Amy Kastenbauer MN Wedding Photographer

Congratulations to the ravishing Trevor & Liz! These two charmers held a lovely ceremony at St Philips Catholic Church in Bemidji, and then received their guests at the Sanford Event Center in a gorgeous Ballroom, as well as entertaining their guests in the lobby and out on the patio (which overlooks Lake Bemidji)! These two love doves are a perfect match, and I was glad to get to photograph their wedding day with them.

Beautiful Outdoor Wedding | Pink Flowers, BWB Ranch, Rustic Barn, Grey Dresses, Bride & Groom MN Wedding Photography

I am honored to share some photographs from the Lind’s beautiful June wedding. The bride chose some special touches to make the day absolutely stunning.  Her dress was found at an Allen Evans Bridal shop in Moorhead, the flowers were from her friend Poppy Lane in Minneapolis, and the rings are from Riddles Jewelry.  They hosted their outdoor ceremony and barn reception at the lovely rustic BWB Ranch Party Venues. It was a tremendous day. I am grateful I was able to be their photographer! Congratulations to #thelindsinlove!
