Bryan + Hailey >> Fun + Outdoor Golf Course Wedding (Prior Lake, MN)
To me, asking people what they do for work has always seemed so flimsy. (Hello, fellow INTJs!) Especially when there are more important things to get to the bottom of, like if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go? (Side note: real excited to see honeymoon snaps from St. Lucia from these two.) Ordinarily I wouldn’t ask or retell that kind of thing…
Nate + Annie >> Joyful + Timeless Mayowood Stone Barn Wedding (Rochester, MN)
Nate is the kind of guy that makes you imagine his former schoolteachers referring to him as a “good kid” who was probably either voted most likely to succeed or most charismatic.
Meanwhile, Annie is the kind of person that was probably always wearing 16 different friendship bracelets on her wrist at any given time, so full of joy and undiscriminating warmth. Also, probably the Homecoming Queen that everyone actually liked.
Shannon + Nate >> Elegant + Fairytale Stonewall Farms Wedding (Willmar, MN)
“No one is going to believe that this is a real wedding,” I told her as she stood in front of the mirror, minutes before the ceremony. She laughed in response, make-up brush in hand. (Look for it in the scrolling below; it was ridiculously adorable.)
Kallie + Jason >> Heartfelt + Relaxed Llama Farm Wedding (Golden Oak Farm; Webster, MN)
I’ve never felt so nervous to hit publish on a blog.
Not because I’m worried about the quality of the work, but rather the opposite, in a strange twist of feeling.
I connected to this wedding so well, that it also feels as if a piece of me is on display.
Joe + Karla >> Fun + Formal Greysolon Moorish Room Wedding (Duluth, MN)
A wedding is never “just a wedding” to me.
Not during nor after.
Lauren! >> Class of 2019
After years of photographing the Louks ladies, there are a few things I’ve learned to expect—
Ethan + Alexia > Intimate + Emotional Larsmont Cottages Wedding (Two Harbors, MN)
It was the perfect August day in Duluth.
Reeeeally.
As a personal amusement, I decided as I arrived at the lake that morning that I was going to keep count of how many times I overheard anyone express the same sentiment.
And what I got was three.
THREE!
(And I'll admit, the last one was someone agreeing with me as I tried to coax them into marveling.)
Kyle + Megan >> Engaged!
A couple that plays together, stays together.
Isn't that what they say?
Lisa + Matt > Elegant + Outdoor Florian Gardens Wedding (Eau Claire, WI)
It seemed pretty obvious to me that the Haley/Tschann shindig would go off without a hitch.
Nastassja + Andrew >> Intimate + Industrial Lageret Wedding (Stoughton, WI)
What they asked for was movement.
What we got was pretty moving.
Johnny + Amanda >> Engaged!
Gahhh, cue the 😭😭 emojis!
Guys, every engagement is special.
Because truly, every couple is special.
But it gets a little cry face emoji extra when…
