Alicia + Zach | Brainerd Lakes Engagement Photography

Alicia and Zach would have said I do yesterday if we weren’t experiencing what is one of the strangest things in our lifetime, COVID-19. The wedding industry has been in a bit of a holding pattern with a lot of questions of when, where, who and other thoughts looming in brides’ minds and hearts. Alicia and Zach experienced this multi-fold, with not only having to initially reschedule their wedding, but then losing their chosen venue after a series of non-sense, poor service and unfortunate events.

I am so thrilled to be the photographer for their upcoming wedding at their new venue - The Lafayette Club! I know it’s going to be lovely, and I look forward to it every day. :)

For now, here are some sweet photos taken at my family’s up north property. It was the perfect mixture of woods and structure to explore while we chatted about life, their big day and what’s to come - CONGRATS Alicia and Zach! I cannot wait to see you both say I do very soon.

Lia + Tony | Private Residence Wedding on the Gull River

Lia and Tony celebrated their wedding at a location that was not only meaningful to them, but was unbelieveably gorgeous on the Gull River just outside of Brainerd. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can’t believe I am so lucky to work with such amazing couples and share in their wedding day. I often can’t stop smiling white taking photos and pretty sure I left with pure permasmile - from the decor to Lia’s blush BHLDN dress (and Tony’s perfect shoes!) to the flowers (OMG CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FLOWERS?!?!) to the airstream photo backdrop to the sweet and intimate ceremony and so much more - the day was perfect. Lia and Tony dined with their closest family and friends on vintage dishware that Lia had collected and they had many other little touches including wood slice guest book, custom wood ring holders and custom take home mugs with chocolate and coffee. Enjoy these sweet smiles and lush blooms - pure happiness during my favorite season - Minnesota Summertime.
