MINNEAPOLIS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, THE COTTAGE FARMHOUSE WEDDING
As someone who assists other photographers frequently, I had the pleasure of working with Laci Jane in July. We were both having strange seasons – mine being one of complete postponements and hers being one of the opposite. Having the opportunity to work on this wedding together was pretty incredible, and I can’t wait to share some of this story.
Maria and Jake have a sense of ease together. Though their day was about ninety degrees (a stark contrast to now) you could see them just relax the moment they were together that day. Even if it meant just hanging out in the AC or drying the already sweat-soaked shirts or just being together, you could tell that their relationship is at the core of what mattered to them this day.
Their families, too, shared so much love for them.
Here’s the story of hot days, billiards, finding shade whenever possible, dollar store bandanas and handheld fans, gospel, prayers, attentive family, and a gathering in the most grand gazebo I’ve ever seen.
And so much more.
