Some wedding photography in MN from the Jurvakainen’s wedding day!!

Starting off this post from Sebastian and Amanda’s wedding with my favorite part of the day… golden hour! These photos took less than ten minutes. If I can recommend one thing it’d be to take the time to do THIS. There is nothing like that just married glow PLUS the light is so. much. better. than that harsh midday light that you get earlier in the day for your portraits.

Nothing like the mornings of a wedding day. A slow morning, with pretty details, and the buzz of excitement and nervousness in the air while getting ready for their special day.

Bride and groom portraits are one of my favorite parts of wedding photography in MN! Spending time with the couple alone as they enter this exciting chapter in their life. It’s so much fun!

Their amazing bridal party, what a fun group!

+ a classic MN stop at Caribou for a pick-me-up on our way back to the church 🙂

So special to have families together for occasions like this.

A beautiful ceremony:

Aaaand their reception! With the coolest car for their getaway!! What a good day.
