When asked to rate their wedding John said “Well – I am a solid 6 (+/-1) and my fiancé, Anna, is a stone cold 10. . . So, I would say our wedding is going to be a strong 15, at least.” It was that moment I knew these two were going to be a fantastic couple. Our engagement photos at Lester Park and Brighton Beach just happened to land on the most beautiful day of the spring up until that point, and just 48 hours earlier there were several inches of snow and ice on the ground. 


John and Anna met at camp and went their separate ways for several years before making it official. Now the couple is planning a destination wedding up the North Shore at the Lutsen Chalet overlooking Lake Superior. If their wedding is anything like their engagement photos, it’s going to be full of laughter, fun, and dry, sarcastic humor. Perfect.

A little romance along Lester River in Duluth.

John loves Anna and his Grandpa’s blazer. 🙂

Shortly after his swim, Rory thought it would be a good idea to roll in the sand.
