After a CRAZY wedding planning process filled with twists and turns, Megan and Mitch are married! Crazy fact: I booked this wedding a few short months before their big day, and I’m SO glad I did! Megan and Mitch were supposed to get married 6.20 but pushed their date back to 8.8 due to COVID. After making that change, their original wedding venue got destroyed in the Minneapolis riots, leaving them to find a new date, new venue and new photographer. I’m so glad they found me because I ADORE these two! They were so kind, so easy to work with, and had such amazing chemistry. Congratulations to the Carlsons!

They did it, Sarah and Tyler are married! It’s been a whirlwind past few months for this couple. Their original plans were to get married near where they live in Minnesota, but like many other 2020 brides, COVID had different plans. They decided to move to their “Plan B” which was to get married at their rehearsal dinner space, only to find out a few weeks later that their “Plan B” wasn’t going to work out either. Finally they landed on renting out a gorgeous VRBO vacation rental property to host their wedding in Stockholm, Wisconsin. They cut down their guest list and only had immediate families in attendance, and let me tell you. It all ended up being perfect.

In the midst of a global health pandemic, love conquered all. Hannah and Clint were originally supposed to tie the knot on September 28th surrounded by all of their family and friends. Two weeks prior to their wedding, COVID-19 came to Minnesota, causing the sweet couple to completely rethink the plans they had made for the wedding. They ultimately decided to utilize the rehearsal dinner space they had rented and get married the day before on Friday, March 27th, surrounded by immediate family only. A year’s worth of planning went out the window as they went full steam ahead replanning their wedding in less than 10 days. This was a beautiful love story I’ll never forget.
