Simply in Love | Rachel & Joe

engagements, fall, love, couple, prettyleaves,
Before I go into detail about Rachel and Joe’s amazing love story and relationship, I feel like I need to address how awesome their engagement shoot was. Rachel and Joe’s engagement session was a picture perfect (literally) example of what a fall engagement photos should look like. Stunning bright yellow leaves covering the trees and the ground around them. The weather was cold enough for a sweater but also warm enough to dress up a little fancy, too. To top it off, they included their sweet dog Emma, who is not only adorable, but wore a scarf! Rachel and Joe made it impossible for this shoot to be anything but amazing.

After two minutes of witnessing Rachel and Joe’s chemistry and one look at their adorable dog, I was sold. But as I continued to learn more about them, I couldn’t help but fall in love with their relationship. I would describe it as powerfully simple. They met at work. It was Rachel’s first job out of college, and Joe helped show her the ropes around the company. Just two months into officially dating, Joe looked at Rachel calmly and said, “Someday I’m going to marry you.” They both knew that it was true. About five years after that, when the couple was vacationing in California, they made what they both knew to be true, official. While at a vineyard taking pictures for Rachel’s fashion blog, Joe suddenly handed the camera off to a friend. Joe walked over to Rachel, with a huge smile on his face, and told her how beautiful she looked. And before Rachel knew it, he was on one knee, with the ring, asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. She had to take a moment to catch her breath and say, “YES!” And before he even had time to put the ring on Rachel’s finger, it started pouring rain. If that isn’t magical, I don’t know what is.

I loved their shoot, I love their story, and I really love that these too know how to do something that many people don’t—keep it simple. They go through life appreciating the little things and enjoying them together. Rachel described their favorite thing to do together, aside from traveling, as spending Friday nights in with their dog Emma, a movie, pizza, and beer or whiskey. These two just get it. They love each other, they love experiencing new things together, they love their sweet dog, they love good food and drinks, and they just simply love doing life together. And I love that. Congrats you two! I am beyond excited for your wedding.

Perfect Day of Personal Touches | Nova & John

weddings, weddingphotography, love, uofm, minnesota, mcnamaalumnicenter, couples, weddingbells, weddingpictures, travel, fall, leaves, birchtrees, friends, family

We first fell in love with Nova and John after hearing their engagement story. It was just so beautiful and unique. John teamed up with Nova’s father to plan what she thought was an elaborate scavenger hunt for her birthday. The hunt led her throughout her favorite places in her hometown and ended with a huge surprise—John and a ring!

To say the least, we fell in love with this awesome couple all over again on their wedding day. The entire day held the same kind of character that their engagement story did. It was all so intentionally and uniquely “them.” They continued with fall-themed details similar to their engagement photos and took it one step further by creating decorations that showcased their journey together. Each table was named after a different place they had travelled together and decorated with a pumpkin with the name of the place written on it. They even honored their common interests with awesome South Park cake toppers! It’s special to be in an environment that is so personal to the people who created it. I felt like I got to know Nova and John better by simply stepping into their wedding venue, which is rare.

What’s even more amazing is that the personal touches didn’t just come from them—those involved in the wedding added something special as well. You could tell the entire bridal party was super close friends, who loved Nova and John. Which made it clear that this special couple didn’t just focus on investing in each other, but they invest and care for their friends together as well. Everyone was just having a good time together. The dance floor reflected this perfectly, as it was full of energy and laughter all night. But the most touching and unique moment from the guests came from Nova’s father, during his Father-of-the-Bride speech. As he was talking he slowly unloaded objects from a box he had brought with him. The first was a rock from the glacier he visited. The second was a full bottle of water from the same glacier that he had been saving for eight years. Those two objects symbolized the potential and trust he had in the newlyweds to grow old together. And to close, he handed an old rose bud to John, because on this day, he was “handing him his rose.” It was so sentimental and intentional, it made it obvious how much he loved Nova, and how much he loved that John loved Nova, too.

I felt so lucky to be involved in a wedding that was so beautiful, so full of love, and so personal to the bride and groom. It was an honor to be let inside and given a opportunity to fully understand Nova and John’s wonderful relationship and the wonderful people that surrounded them. Congratulations again, you two! You are so loved and you love so well, this will undoubtedly inspire a lifetime of happiness together.
