dana + jeremy // the wedding // mayowood stone barn // rochester, mn wedding photographer

so so sooooo many things that i loved about dana and jeremy's day that i'm not even sure where to start. i guess why not start with them?! they are so genuine and sweet, loving, caring, fun, adorable, and the list goes on and on. i fell in love with both of them immediately and everyone who knows them can easily understand why. the day was like a dream come true. so much beauty everywhere you turned. and the venue. oh, the venue. it was the essence of history and beauty from the historic brick buildings and stable/s to the breathtaking trees and tall grass field and everything in between. this venue was simply stunning. someone please, please, please take me back there!

some weddings you just don't want to end and this was one of them for me. i would have stayed all night if i didn't have a two hour drive and my sweet four-month-old babe to get home to.  congrats again to the newlyweds and may your future endeavors be filled with so much joy and happiness because you deserve it.

and i definitely can't forget a shout out to one of my dear friends, tiffany of TLA Photography, who joined me for the day. it's always a good time when you're in the company of such good friends to share and oogle over it all together. xoxo

love these.

dana also did a first look with her dad <3

tiffany and i were just talking on the way up to Rochester that it would be neat to see something done besides the normal unity candle or sand and what fun options there are. little did we know, we were about to see one. i super loved this "love fern" idea.

 the groom requested these photos. love it.

i can't say enough about all the gorgeous details. little fact about me - i am a huge, huge lover of heavenly smelling flowers so i pretty much wanted to steal these centerpieces along with the wood circles that were right up my alley!

 such a fun idea for a dinner game!

 a cricket photobombed our time in the sunset :)

hey, look it's me! {on the left, tiffany on the right}. i was a sweaty hot mess at the end of the day but that just means the day was a success and no one cares when you're having that much fun ;)

 

hugs,
