A perfect October day for a wedding. Registering a bit on the warm side, the sun was shinning and the clouds billowed and floated as if they had nothing else to do.
A perfect day to be in love.

I love when my couples opt to see each other before the ceremony for one main reason: their expressions are priceless and it really creates time for the two to absorb the day and have a few precious moments to themselves. After all, a wedding isn’t about how fantastic the cake is or how elaborate the planning, but a celebration of two people coming together, vowing commitment, honor and love. Forever.

How cute is this little guy!!?!?!

Waiting for the ceremony to begin

Married!!!

After the ceremony, we went to Rice Park in St. Paul for some more relaxed photos. What a great wedding party (and good looking, to boot!), I think we laughed the entire time!

Some behind the scenes laughter…

…as the girls try to pick up Mike!!

Love. Love.

Congratulations, Abbie & Mike!!! Thanks so much for having me document your day. Everything went perfectly, I couldn’t be happier for the two of you!!
