~Z~ Wedding Oct. 3, 2015 {Southern Minnesota Wedding Photographer}

Oh weddings. I love them!! Especially fall weddings, there is just something about them! This was a perfect day in October. A little breezy, but otherwise gorgeous. A quiet country church, a fun group and we were good to go!!

I loved this church. 

When the bride has a seven foot train...you get giddy. At least I did!

I had to!

Oh these boys, they were a hoot! And thankfully knew what poison ivy looked like ;-) 

I love capturing the congregation as they wait for the wedding to begin. 

Lots of smiles during this ceremony. 

First time shooting in a cemetery, but was interesting. 

And then the car....

Such a lovely couple, inside and out. 

Oh I love the light in this photo!!

The couple met being a part of a jazz band, they played their first song they ever performed together, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" so cool. 

Proud parents. 

It was a rainbow chip cake, and delicious!

Perfect.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day D & L!!! May your lives bring much happiness and many blessings!

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding to kick off the 2015 season! The weather was threatening rain, but it held off and it wasn't too hot or humid. Simply perfect.

Oh first looks. I love them. My traditional side also loves having the suspense of the groom waiting at the end of the isle. Either way, the emotion is what gets me every.time.

Could there be a happier bride? 

I have a love for outdoor photos, it's in my blood. But I am starting to love the challenge of the church portraits. 

I had to get a silhouette in there! 

Ring shots are my weakness.

Waiting patiently with dad during portraits. 

What a good looking bridal party! 

We took a moment before the ceremony to drive to a park and get some outdoor portraits, so glad we got the chance! 

Love this shot of A 

These two are so sweet! 

I love the light streaming in 

Oh emotion!! 

As I got up to the balcony I caught this quick little tap that A gave D, was so glad I had the timing right!! This is one of those shots that you only get once a year if that! 

Such a gorgeous church! 

The reception site was beautiful, and with little county accents. I loved it! 

How great is this idea? 

Again we headed outside at the reception site and got some shots. 

This cat became an honorary groomsman

Beautiful flowers! 

I finally got a goofy shot out of this group! 

Their favors were beer cozies, too cute! 

So happy! 

I want to thank these two for allowing me to capture their day! I had so much fun working with you! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and I hope to work with you again soon!
