Grand Forks | East Grand Forks | Fargo Wedding Photographer - Beautiful Summer Wedding At St. Mary's Church, Grand Forks, ND

I’ve had such an awesome time working with Ruby and Matt over the last year. We met over coffee and I quickly realized that they were a couple I would have a blast working with! Our Spring was so crazy with rain, flooding, and even a late May blizzard…that getting their engagement session planned proved challenging. We finally just went out on a chilly, windy, overcast day and shot some photos. I had so much fun with them and the photos turned out amazing! That’s when I knew that their wedding day was gonna be unforgettable!

The crazy weather seemed to follow us all the way to their wedding day as the forecast was supposed to be 99 degrees with a heat index of 107!!! Luckily, like 75% of the time, the weathermen were WAY off. The temp only reached into the low 80’s which made outdoor photos tons more comfortable and fun. We did have to deal with a slight breeze of 30 mph…but we made due!

The entire wedding party was so laid back and super easy to work with and we shared lots of laughs throughout the day! I really enjoyed chatting with members from both sides of the family and I could see where both Ruby and Matt got their fun outgoing personalities.

Once the ceremony rolled around…the laughs continued, but were accompanied by tears of joy, special moments, rings and vows being exchanged, and a first kiss as husband and wife!

The reception was packed and all of Ruby and Matt’s family and friend’s celebrated the newlyweds in grand fashion! What an action packed day!

It’s always so cool to be there to see how all of our months of planning finally come together and I get to witness another family being created!

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 Outdoor Fall Wedding At Bonazaville U.S.A., Fargo, ND

2020 is almost over and I FINALLY have a bit of time to get caught up on posting my Fall weddings! This one was the Fall wedding of DeAnn & Thomas! I met them (and their son Maverick) last year and got to travel to Jamestown to do their engagement photos. I had a blast with them as we trekked all over Jamestown to shoot photos. We took a break for some warm coffee & tea and had a beautiful sunset to close out our session.

Their wedding was special, not only to them, but to me as well…you see, their September 19th wedding happened to be my 6 year wedding anniversary date! My wife and I were married on that date in 2014 in Duluth, MN!

DeAnn & Thomas chose to get married at Bonazaville USA in West Fargo. It’s a historical museum with no shortage of cool and unique areas for amazing photographs! It was as nice of a day out as you could have asked for…except for one small thing…the ND wind! The 20 mph winds made the outdoor photos a bit challenging but we were still able to have fun, get some great shots, and most importantly…capture the emotions and memories of their special day!

Both families treated me so well and it was amazing to get to mingle with them all day! We even were blessed with another beautiful sunset! And the yummy desserts that the groom’s mother made were icing on the cake (pun intended)!

Congrats to the new couple! Thanks so much for not only choosing me to capture your wedding day memories, but for sticking with me through the craziness of the pandemic this past year!

P.S….I’ll never forget your anniversary!!
