Married! // Jenna + Darrin Part 2

 

Jenna and Darrin's wedding day was 13 1/2 years in the making. These two met when they were in algebra class and have grown together over the years to become a really strong couple.

One of my favorite parts of their wedding day was the speeches. Every person gave a phenomenal speech, but the coolest part is that everyone touched on Jenna and Darrin's character. They are hard working, dedicated, loyal, committed and fun people. They care so much for their friends and family and all of these traits were at the forefront of their wedding day. Not to mention their impeccable style. 

The couple chose to get married in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota and it was truly a perfect day filled with unforgettable moments! We've already shared in Part 1 about their amazing rehearsal dinner - now it's time to share the wedding! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Dzuck - thank you for leaving us all feeling inspired about love!

LOVEe

Married // Marcus + Katherine

 

Marcus and Katherine met while studying abroad in Sweden - he was from Germany and she was from the United States. Over the course of their relationship, they effortlessly committed to long distance, until finally moving to Minnesota to officially start their lives together. The couple's wedding took place in Katherine's hometown of Duluth and many of Marcus's family and friends traveled from Europe for the festivities. 

I absolutely loved their wedding weekend. It was full of culture, fun stories, boat rides, great people and one absolutely stunning wedding. Marcus and Katherine are a gorgeous couple, but the moments of their day was what got me the most - and what I enjoy most while looking through their photographs. 

Congratulations to Katherine and Marcus on tying the knot and starting your next adventure!

LOVEe

Married // Laurie + Tim

 

There is no greater honor, as a photographer, than to be asked to document another photographer's wedding. Laurie is an absolutely amazing photographer herself, so I was very humbled when she asked our team to document her day! 

Laurie and Tim are incredible and it has been so great to connect with them on a more personal level this last year. They planned their wedding exactly how they wanted it: A small ceremony on family land in Northern Minnesota and then a reception in the city at 514 Studios! Both events were entirely magical and the perfect mix between intimate and celebratory. Everyone who touched their wedding was a close friend or family and it made for the most thoughtful wedding!

Congratulations to Laurie and Tim! I am so excited for you!

LOVEe
