Dakota County Courthouse Wedding Photography | Ellis & Laura | Apple Valley Wedding Photographer

It started off as just two kids who meet in math class at the U of M.

Laura and Ellis got ready at their new home and jam packed it full of their family and friends. The fall day started off with cinnamon rolls, Caribou coffee, and football playing on the TV while people got ready.

Laura got ready in the bathroom overlooking her back yard while Ellis put on his finishing details outside.

They had a first look in their backyard with all their family and friends watching from the deck! They were excited to see each other. It was a contained giddy excitement. We did a couple of portraits before heading over to the courthouse!

The judge was short literally and sweet. She read the vows and made it official- Ellis & Laura were finally married!!

We all wanted to enjoy Minnesota Nature at its best so we went to Lebanon Hills Regional Park for portraits! Although early for fall, we did even get some of the yellow and red color in the leaves!
Although it started to sprinkle just a little bit, the rain held off and we were able to get all the portraits in without rain!

They finished off the night continuing the celebration at Mannys steak house in Minneapolis !

Please enjoy a preview of their wedding day!

Lodge On The Lake Wedding Photography | Chelsey & Steve | Eagan Wedding Photogapher

Chelsey and Steve had been watching the weather all week and after lots of planning the day was finally here Sun and Cold and Beautiful fall colors. Chelsey was loving how everything turned out it brought her to tears multiple times even before she saw Steve!!

Although it was a colder fall day (it has snowed twice that morning ) the whole wedding party was a amazing and trusted me and we took some beautiful photos in the sun!

One of my favorite parts of the day happened during the ceremony. The ceremony took place at Lodge on the Lake. In an amphitheater style everyone was seated behind the building surrounded by the trees. The wedding party came out on the balcony walked across and down the stairs to where Steven Stood. As Chelsey and her dad Tony came out they stopped and looked out at all their guests for about 30 seconds just to help absorb the sight in. Steve was tearing up a little as he watched his beaming bride walk up to him. I lost it at that point.
The ceremony was done by a family member and for his first one he did a great job! After 9 years Chelsey and Steve said I do and became husband and wife !!!!! They could not have been more excited. We headed inside the lodge for the rest of the party! Chelsey’s table details where seriously giving me heart eyes with all the pumpkins and her flowers were done by Lisa with Forget me not florist and everything was just stunning!!

I loved serving this couple and I hope they feel that too as they honeymoon up north to celebrate their new marriage.

Enjoy their wedding day below!!

Lebanon Hills Wedding Photography | Jenna & Jason | Eagan Wedding Photographer

It was said during the day that this group had seen the highest highs and the lowest lows. But even with what could be called the worst of times God used those to mold the hearts of this couple to come together.

Jenna and Jason made sure to thank the people who stood by them and prayed for them and guided them to the other side. Their day was intimate and once they finally came together during the ceremony all the wedding day jitters flew away with the fall breeze.

Besides marriage Jenna was super excited about the Coffee Cart they had booked! Everyone made sure to get a couple of cups of specialty drinks and I have to admit i made my way one to two times to get the Maple Leaf Latte (aka heaven in my mouth) After the ceremony I whisked the bride and groom away for some portrait time at Lebanon Hills Regional Park which was just bursting with fall colors! They got some much needed cuddle time and whispered their favorite parts of the day. It was some much needed time as hubby and wife.

After heading back we spent the rest of the evening eating and celebrating their love with friend and family. Jason is originally from Nebraska! So you can imagine how excited they were that a lot of his family were willing to make it to be a part of their wedding day. Having those they loved with them made this day all the better.

Please enjoy their wedding below!!
