Nicole & Steph | Duluth Minnesota Wedding Photography

Nicole and Steph's Duluth wedding cracked open a beautiful idea. The couple is the main focus of the day, followed by the community that surrounds them, but there was a third subject their wedding so wonderfully brought to life, PLACE.  

The day started at the salon down the street.  Nicole got her make-up done by someone who knew her since she was three.  Then Nicole and Steph caught up over lunch, relaxed and got ready together in their own home.  Follow that up with a first look at their high school where they had first started dating 6 years ago.  Their day also included a surprise trip to the hospital (conveniently enough where they both work) to visit their new niece that decided she too wanted to be around for their day.  Everything, from ceremony and reception location, the local jewelry and wedding band, and a sunset stroll along Lake Superior, so perfectly highlighted the city in which they found love.

that grew together, roots entwined" ― Pablo Neruda

Jordan and Grant. This is a couple who have truly become dear friends and I don't know how to put into words their wedding day.  I stumbled upon this quote and saved it for when it rang truth.  Witnessing Jordan and Grant's day, roots was the perfect word.  Their relationship has weaved together the most beautiful community who have watched their love grow for each other for years and years.

Sabrina & Jefferson | Minnesota Wedding Photography

My friend Sabrina fell in love while teaching in Columbia.   On July 3rd her and Jefferson said "I Do" here in Minnesota.  Meeting all of the Columbian family that made the trip and capturing the melding of their two cultures was such a joy.  They so beautifully tied in bits and pieces of each of them from the invites, to the wedding readings being done in both English and Spanish, to ending the night with a whole lot of Salsa dancing!  I am still swooning over ALL these images and could not feel more blessed to have been able to photograph their wedding day.
