Blue Skies and Big Smiles | Hannah & Jason

Sunset engagement with Hannah and Jason

Hannah and Jason’s engagement shoot fell on a picturesque day, the weather brisk and windy as fall comes creeping in, but warm enough to get away with not wearing a jacket. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum provided a lush setting, while mother nature provided a big, beautiful, bright blue sky. Hannah and Jason’s cozy, coordinating clothing rounded out the perfect shoot for this pair.

These two are getting married in just a few days! We can’t wait to share more of their smiles shortly.

A Perfectly In Sync Pair | Brenna & Derek

Classic dip and veil toss with Brenna and DerekBrenna and Derek are one of those couples that are completely in tune with each other. They know each other’s exact needs and will do anything to make each other happy. Their entire day was special, every minute more beautiful than the last.

Brenna is a person who is full of light and laughs, you can see that in her crinkly-nosed smile and hear it in her laugh. Derek was so excited to see his beautiful bride, and the way he looks at her is evidence of the unending love that he has for her. As it always is with couples with this type of exhilarating, visible love, their wedding party echoed their passion. Their friends were beyond excited to enjoy the evening with their two favorite people, getting down on the party bus and checking out local bars on the way to the reception.

Speaking of receptions, the two had an incredibly unique venue, a stable decked out in twinkle lights and deep red floral arrangements. It was impeccable designed, and it was to be impeccably used. Derek was set on his and Brenna’s first dance being perfect, knowing exactly what she wanted, down to the lighting.

As always, one of dreamiest parts of their day was the opportunity to steal the bride and groom away from the reception to enjoy the sunset. Brenna and Derek’s commitment to and care for one another is an incredible thing to witness, and we didn’t want it to end. It was such a gift to be there on their wedding day and bask in their love. Congratulations to these two beautiful souls!

Magical Memories | Zach & Tom’s Harry Potter-Inspired Wedding

Gay Harry Potter themed wedding photography at Wayzata Country ClubThree of the things that Tom and Zach hold dear are their friends, their family, and theme parks. Each of these passions rightly played a role in the couple’s magical wedding day.

Tom and Zach’s friends have played a big role in the couple’s wedding from the start. When he proposed, Tom made sure that Zach’s two best friends were there to witness it, flying them up to Minnesota for the occasion. It only makes sense that friends were also an important part of their wedding day, and their wedding party was such a supportive team. They were ready and willing to help out the grooms while they were getting ready, and to dance the night away once the knot was tied!

Tom and Zach were married by Zach’s father, which led to an emotional time for all parties. Watching your child get married is already a tear-jerking moment, so imagine how it would feel being the one to pronounce them married! Zach’s father met the two in a warm embrace after marrying them and couldn’t help but smile as he signed the paperwork that made their marriage official.

One of Tom’s favorite things about his partner is seeing him excited about his passions, so it’s no surprise that Zach’s love of Harry Potter made its way into their wedding details! Their cufflinks showing off their respective houses were a fun way to show off their personalities and wands made for a fun prop for photos. The two actually met while working at Walt Disney World, and we can only assume that they’ve made their fair share of trips to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Tom and Zach, you two are so obviously full of love for one another, and to quote Albus Dumbledore, “you are protected, in short, by your ability to love!”
