Naastad Acres Wedding Photographer - Beautiful Outdoor August Wedding In Hatton, ND With Sande And Jeff

Naastad Acres Wedding Photographer - Elegant Outdoor Summer Wedding In Hatton, ND With Sande And Jeff

I met Sande and Jeff for drinks at The SPUD Jr to chat about their big day and quickly realized what an awesome couple they were and how excited I’d be to photograph their wedding. Planning their wedding was so fun…they live in Colorado so most of our planning was via zoom…but they were always super cool to chat with and I enjoyed every minute.

When their wedding day arrived…it was such a perfect day out for a wedding! Their wedding would take place out at Naastad Acres in Hatton, ND and I always joke with the venue owners that whenever I photograph a wedding at their lovely venue…it’s ALWAYS 95 degrees out with 200% humidity!! But the day of Sande & Jeff’s wedding was sunny and in the high 70’s! Can’t ask for much better!

Everyone involved in the wedding, from the bridal party to family or friends, were all fantastic to work with and most of the afternoon flew by as we were able to capture some amazing moments.

The ceremony was beautiful and filled with laughter and special moments. Sande & Jeff walked back down the isle as newlyweds and were smiling ear to ear as their family & friends cheered them on!

The reception and dance were action packed as I worked up a small sweat playing the FREEZE FRAME game as we had to take photos with Sande & Jeff at each table of guests all within the span of 1 song! Harmon Entertainment kept the place moving the rest of the evening and I was even able to steal the couple away for some epic sunset/nighttime photos!

Naastad Acres finished the night with a BANG as they put on a spectacular fireworks show in honor of the newlyweds!

I had so much fun with Sande, Jeff, and their closest family and friends and I was so honored to be the one trusted to capture their wedding day memories!

Naastad Acres Wedding Photographer - Beautiful Late Summer Wedding In Hatton, ND With Eden And Daniel

It was a beautiful mid-September day out at Naastad Acres in Hatton…the perfect kind of day for a wedding! This particular wedding day belonged to Eden & Daniel. I got the chance to meet and work with the couple last Fall for their engagement session which also took place at Naastad Acres. It was a super chilly afternoon but I had a ton of fun with them and we captured some awesome engagement photos. I knew we’d have a blast on their wedding day!

Their wedding day was just that…a blast! We had perfect weather and Naastad Acres is filled with so many fantastic locations for photos so the day pretty much flew by!

As the ceremony began, Eden & Daniel’s closest friends and family watched as “Rev D” entertained and conducted the service. Eden even prepared a song to sing which blew everyone away! The couple then exchanged rings, vows, and a first kiss and walked back down the isle as husband and wife to the cheers of everyone in attendance.

Then it was time to celebrate…which is ALWAYS a fun time at Naastad Acres! The music was great, the food was delicious, and Eden & Daniel’s day could not have gone any better!

Congrats to the new couple! Thanks so much for choosing me to capture your wedding day memories!

Grand Forks | East Grand Forks | Fargo Wedding Photographer - Beautiful Summer Wedding In Moorhead, MN

I first met with Heidi & Lexi at Rustic Oaks during an Open House event in 2019 at the beautiful rustic venue. I quickly knew that they would be an ideal couple to work with. We had tons of fun on their engagement session at Rustic Oaks and captured some wonderful memories. The wedding couldn’t come soon enough.

But then…the Pandemic burst in and threw the entire world into chaos! Just like all the other 2020 couples, Heidi & Lexi weren’t sure if they could have their ceremony in August. As the date approached and some of the venue restrictions in the state opened up, we decided to go ahead with their ceremony as planned.

After it raining most of the morning, the weather cleared up and we had a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding!

The ceremony was beautiful with lots of fine details spread about the space as family and friends got to witness Heidi & Lexi exchange vows, rings, and a first kiss as a married couple.

Guests then piled into the stunning reception hall at Rustic Oaks and the afterparty kicked off with a bang as Harmon Entertainment kept the place swinging! There was incredible food, drinks, music, dancing, and lots of laughter as everyone celebrated the newlyweds!

Congrats to the new couple! Thanks so much for choosing me to capture your wedding day memories!

I first met Shelby & RJ when I drove down to Fargo to shoot an engagement session with them. It was a super hot day out but I had a blast with them as we trekked around the countryside and captured some amazing shots! I knew right away that their wedding day was going to be special and a ton of fun!

Their late October wedding was set at The Pines right outside Fargo in Davenport, ND. The Pines is a truly amazing venue and we couldn’t have asked for better weather in late October for an outdoor ceremony. There were plenty of pre-ceremony special moments such as a groomsmen gift opening, a couple of emotional “first looks” and tons of laughter between all of the family and friends.

The ceremony was beautiful with lots of fine details spread about the space as family and friends got to witness Shelby & RJ exchange vows, rings, and a first kiss as husband and wife all in the late afternoon setting sun.

Guests then piled into the stunning reception hall at The PINES and the afterparty kicked off with a bang! There was incredible food, drinks, music, dancing, and lots of laughter as everyone celebrated the new husband and wife!

I had such a great time and this was the best way possible to end my 2022 wedding season! It was such an honor working with Shelby, RJ, and their families on their special day!

Congrats to the new couple! Thanks so much for choosing me to capture your wedding day memories!

Grand Forks | East Grand Forks | Fargo Wedding Photographer - Beautiful October Wedding In Moorhead, MN

I met Kelsey and Chris when they were part of the bridal party for another couple of mine whose wedding was in 2019. I was thrilled to hear of their own engagement and super excited that they asked me to be their wedding photographer!

They couldn’t have picked a better date for their big day! We had beautiful Fall weather with just a slight breeze which was awesome because October weather can be all over the place. Kelsey and Chris’s day took place at the stunning RiverHaven Events Center in Moorhead, MN which was amazing both inside and out!

It is surrounded by trees, a winding river, and plenty of nature. In fact, during our wedding party photoshoot, we had to move aside as a flock of wild turkeys spread out in a wide line and pecked their way across the field right towards us.

The ceremony was beautiful and brief, taking place in front of a giant panoramic set of windows showcasing all the Fall colors of the trees outside. When it was over, Kelsey and Chris were husband and wife and the newlyweds celebrated with all of their family and friends on an amazing Autumn evening.

I had such an awesome time working with Kelsey and Chris and chatting with their family and friends all day. I’m so lucky and honored to have been a part of their big day!

Congrats to the new couple! Thanks so much for choosing me to capture your wedding day memories!
