Megan and Joey grew up loving the lake so they decided to do a mini “destination” wedding and get married in Brainerd, MN on the lake at The Quarterdeck Resort. Rain was forecasted for their day but the clouds parted and made for some gorgeous lakeside photos!

Anne Marie and Danny’s wedding was truly a real life fairytale. From the bride’s unique gown, to the cherry blossom tree centerpieces, everything about this wedding was unique and inspiration-worthy. No photos will ever to the beauty of this day justice! Despite it’s obvious beauty, I LOVE how family-centered their day was. Some of the joyous moments captured were the true essence of their beautiful day.

Being a wedding photographer, I attend over 30 weddings a year, so when my friends and family get engaged I tend to be a good source of information when it comes time to planning. Over the years I feel like I’ve seen or heard it all and I’ve gathered a pretty good sense for the source of wedding-related frustrations. I’m sharing key tips related to beauty, timeline, communication and priorities that you’ve probably never heard before!
