Jennae’s Maternity Portraits!

My little sis is pregnant!  I am so excited for Jennae and Tyler as they prepare to welcome their new baby girl into the world.  She will be here in early September, and we can’t wait to meet her!  Today also happens to be Jennae’s birthday, so I thought I’d get her maternity pictures that we took at Minnehaha Falls Park ready on the blog to surprise her!   Happy birthday Jennae! 🙂

Rachael & Andy’s Nautical Themed Wedding in Glenwood, MN

Nautical Wedding Theme  Photography at Lakeside in Glenwood MN wedding party on dock
This is officially one of my favorite weddings.  Rachel and Andy are, like, the coolest people ever – they’re stylish, talented, and super fun to be around.  You’re going to love their tasteful and awesome nautical themed wedding decorations, how much fun they so obviously have together, and their little surprise at the end of this post….  Professional wedding photography is absolutely essential for capturing these great moments!

After a steamy bubble bath proposal that they almost couldn’t tell their grandparents about (but did anyway, because like I said, they’re awesome), Rachael and Andy planned to have their wedding at the Lakeside Ballroom in Glenwood, MN.  This wedding venue provided the perfect lighting for MN wedding photography because of its vast open floor plan, huge windows, and beautiful bare rafters throughout the entire space.  Kim of Laurie’s Design provided elegant fabric draping, candles, lighting, and a beautiful chandelier to complete the look.

After the wedding ceremony, Rachael, Andy and their wedding party took a Lady Lakeside Cruise around Lake Minnewaska, courtesy of the Lakeside Ballroom.  Afterwards, Andy surprised his lovely bride by belting out a couple love songs for her at their wedding reception – So Into you by Althanta Rythm Section and What I Like About You by The Romantics – and he was really, really good!  This was easily Rachael’s favorite part of the wedding day…. aside from the little surprise the couple had in store for their friends and family at the end of the night….

Scroll to the bottom to find out the special surprise Rachael and Andy revealed during their wedding reception!!!  Let’s just say they started sharing it by singing “Rachael and Andy sitting in a tree…..”

Emily & Joseph’s Intimate Wedding in Pipestone, MN

Pipestone MN Wedding Photography at Fountain Prairie Farm bride and groom
Emily and Joseph met a world away, in Doha, the capital of Qatar, where they both work.  During a romantic vacation in Rome, Joseph bought a beautiful engagement ring from Tiffany&Co (wow!), and proposed to Emily once they were back in Qatar.  The couple planned a small and sweet family wedding on Emily’s uncle’s farm in Pipestone, MN and hired Brovado Weddings to do their wedding photography.  Emily did all the planning – she is an event planner by trade, and it shows!  There were so many gorgeous details incorporated into this wedding day, from the elegant table settings, to bountiful flower arrangements, to Emily’s breathtaking succulent bridal bouquet.  At the end of the night, the whole family lit and released giant floating lanterns.  I had so much fun photographing this beautiful country wedding!
