Mille Lacs Lake Wedding | Brianna + Trevor Married! | Post by Jess Ekstrand

Brianna and Trevor got married on Mille Lacs Lake on a very chilly day in October. 

Being a part of this wedding was truly special. Not only did they have the most elite guest list, just their closest friends and family, but the ceremony was also potentially the sweetest I’ve ever seen. The vows Brianna and Trevor shared with each other were heartfelt and personal. They even made vows to each other’s kids that tugged at the heartstrings so hard, even their photographer (that’s me) was tearing up.

Congrats again to this duo!

Silverwood Park Wedding | Ashley + Clare Married! | Post by Melissa Hesse

Ashley and Clare’s wedding day started with both sides of their family and wedding party getting ready at the Delta Hotels by Marriott. I just love when a couple decides to blend their sides in that way! The entire day felt like one big family and their energy around these two was full of excitement. With Ashley being a public defender and Clare a teacher, you can feel the amount of care that goes into their relationships. They are the type of people that will always have your back and support you in any way.

They hosted their wedding celebration at Silverwood Park on a beautiful Fall day in October. The space allowed for nature trails and views by the water that tied together perfectly with the rich colors of Ashley’s suit by Kings Brothers Clothiers. Clare’s wedding dress was handmade by her mom (!!) and incorporated a veil that Ashley’s mother wore on her wedding day. Every detail they put into their day seemed to have meaning behind it, so it was no surprise when they opened the stage to their younger cousin’s who played a set of late 90’s rock to top it all off. The Dap Squad led the dance floor the rest of the night and was truly the best way to end the 2022 wedding season.

Congrats to Ashley and Clare on their marriage and incredible wedding day!

The Lexington Wedding | Jill + Andrew Married! | Post by Jess Ekstrand

Jill and Andrew’s wedding had some, dare I say, anti-wedding elements. There was no wedding party, no bouquet and no dance floor. The ceremony featured an excerpt from “Don’t Shoot, It’s Only Me” by Bob Hope. Jill even fully avoided walking down the “aisle” at both the beginning and the end of the ceremony. Regardless, this was still a wedding. A really lovely wedding. Two humans making a formal commitment to join forces forever and forever, till death do they part. Weddings are full of traditions. And none of them are required. Except for the commitment part.

Jill and Andrew did keep with some classic wedding features. Jill wore a white dress and Andrew wore a suit. There were drinks and there was food. And there were speeches. There were many speeches. Speeches that maybe resembled roasts at times. Let’s be honest, wedding speeches are not always great. These speeches were on another level. I left this wedding with a sore jaw from laughing and smiling throughout all of the amazing stories shared by guests. 

Congrats again to Jill and Andrew!
