Vanessa and Al planned a fabulous Friday wedding with their closest family and friends invited for their celebration. The preparation took months, as Vanessa hand made each detail with great care. The bouts? Vanessa. The candy bar? Vanessa. The fabric flowers? Vanessa. The knit shrugs? Vanessa’s Mom.

I love when the wedding day is such a personal representation of the couple and indicates so vibrantly their relationship! My favorite photos of the day were taken at the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. They’re everything to love about fall weddings in Minnesota!

It’s such an honor to shoot for friends, especially when they are the bride and groom and bridal party! You might notice Gina in the pictures, rocking it out per usual.
