Brad and Miala’s Clyde Iron Wedding

October 10, 2019City: Duluth, MN Venue: Clyde Iron Works

“If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” -Bob Marley

Brad decided that Miala’s worth it and proposed at Christmas in front of the entire family. They got married at Clyde Iron with the largest bridal party I’ve ever seen and the party rocked well into the night until closing time. Congrats to Brad and Miala #ItsHammondTime!

If only the Fireball could talk at House Hammond.

Dad, you walk beside me every day.

Opie didn’t have a clue what was going on, but he was certainly happy to be there.

I pick you for the rest of my life.

Opie!

Hot AF.

Wow, that’s a large bridal party.

My humans are getting married.

Daniel and Grace’s Great Lakes Aquarium Wedding

October 7, 2019City: Duluth, MN Venue: Great Lakes Aquarium

“Can I be your fixing guy forever?”
“Open it!” he said.
“Are you?…” She stammered.
“Yeah!”
“EEEEP! Yes!”

Every love story is as unique as each couple. Daniel and Grace met through Daniel’s sister. As Grace spent more or more time with Cassie, she also got the opportunity to spend time with Daniel. Slowly the awkward small talk gave way to walks and then official dates. Everyone was thrilled except the cat whole protested in ways only cats can. Gradually, the cat warmed to Daniel, and it was official.

Daniel and Grace were married at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, where Grace had the opportunity to intern before her Ph.D. The aquarium was the perfect backdrop for this eclectic and creative couple. I wish you two all the best and many years of fixing together.

Grace spent countless hours beading her entire bouquet and her bridal jewelry.

Grace’s finishing touches.

Admiral Phineas, the cat, is an excellent supervisor.

Grandparents can easily outclass every twenty-something on the dance floor.

There are many fish in the sea/aquarium, and they are all watching Grace and Daniel.

Justin and Andi Clearwater Grille Wedding

October 2, 2019City: Duluth, MN Venue: Clearwater Grille, Leif Erikson Park

It wasn’t love at first sight, not be a long shot. In fact, Andi thought Justin was an arrogant a-hole. It took a while, but he eventually wore her down in the breakroom at work. On their first date, she wondered if he would be the man of her dreams or her killer. Love makes us do strange things, and fortunately for her, it was the second option. The two were married at Leif Erikson Park by Justin’s step-father in a somewhat irreverent ceremony that fit Justin and Andi to a T.

Justin’s ring has a dinosaur bone inlay. DINOSAUR BONE!

Justin was going to be the man of her dreams or her killer. Fortunately for Andi, it was the first option.

Andi would skin-up her knees as a child so she wouldn’t have to wear dresses. She placed band-aids under her wedding dress as a fun reminder.

The Wedding Party ready to party.

Maybe it should have said STARTING LINE instead of FINISH LINE.

It turns out Justin’s not quite the a-hole Andi first thought. Love makes us do strange things.

Matt and Helen’s ceremony was officiated by Helen’s brother-in-law, he was ordained for just the occasion. The couple, surrounded by loved ones sitting in the round, exchanged vows under the Shasta Tent at Aster Cafe in beautiful Minneapolis. The entire city bustled around them, and yet the world stood still. No one else and nothing else mattered. Simple and joyful, everything a wedding should be.

Matt and Helen were surrounded by their guests in the round.

Dress shoes and dancing shoes!

Jim and Bela North Shore Wedding in the Clouds

September 20, 2019City: Lutsen, MN Venue: Lutsen Resort

The fall colors are peaking early at Mystery Overlook on Moose Mountain. Jim and Bela wanted to wed at one of their favorite places on the North Shore, and Lutsen did not disappoint. The low clouds and fog obscured the view but added an enchanting touch to an already magical moment. It’s always a privilege to shoot elopements knowing you’re one of the few people able to witness the union. Congrats to Jim and Bela.
