An Amazing Autumn Wedding: Anna & Nick


October 27th was a crisp fall day.  The air was cool, and the leaves were gathered on the ground.  As I drove up to the beautiful St. John the Baptist church of Dayton, Minnesota, I couldn’t help but take in the autumn day and all its glory!  Once we parked, I could see that the church stood on a hill overlooking Dayton and for miles, not one tree bore its brightly colored leaves.  But as I walked around the church, a beautiful tree, with its blazing gold leaves stood tall- a symbol of this couple’s love, also standing tall and beautiful.  I knew right then and there that this day would be fabulous from beginning to end.

The beauty of the day was not limited to autumn’s richness, but also included the love between a couple and their beautiful girls, the fun brought by their 17-person wedding party and the gorgeous details Anna and Nick planned to make further portray their style throughout the day! 

This day was years… many, many years in the making; and everyone felt the joy!  Here is a glimpse into Anna and Nick’s lovely wedding:





Loved their first look under the brilliant golden yellow tree! 




Sundance Golf Course of Maple Grove hosted the perfect reception for the perfect couple:



In what was a first for me as a photographer, Anna and Nick lit luminaries to honor loved ones and celebrate their love in an unique and beautiful way!  



This grandma could DANCE like crazy!  Unreal. Loved her! 



Nick and Anna, I wish you many, many years of happy days! Thank you for allowing me to capture your wonderful wedding through the lens!
