Married! // Laura + Brad

 

At the end of July, I received a call from Laura, asking if I might still be available to photograph a small wedding on their original date in early September! You see, Laura and Brad are one of many couples who had a big wedding planned and had to change their date because of the covid-19 pandemic. As the time came closer to their original date, they couple ultimately realized they really just wanted to be married! They had postponed their big plans, but then it dawned on them, “Why don’t we get married and have our big party later?” Luckily their vendors were all still available and Amy Zaroff Events and Design planned the most beautiful covid-responsible backyard garden wedding!

The chuppah was dripping with gorgeous flowers from Arts & Flowers and guests were greeted with both kippahs and custom face masks! The outdoor ceremony was so special and a small luncheon followed. One cool thing that Laura and Brad also had was a live stream of the ceremony and speeches for friends and family who weren’t able to be at the event in person - it was a fantastic way to still have everyone a part of their wedding day!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Liszt! We are so happy for you!

LOVEe

Married! // Kim + Jake

 

Oh man, I don't even know where to begin in speaking about Kim and Jake's wedding! After a GREAT season of weddings, this was our last wedding to photograph for the year and it ended on an EPIC note. Kim and Jake hosted their wedding at the Grandview Lodge, so all of their guests from near and far had a weekend getaway in Northern Minnesota. The weather was perfect, the leaves and season of fall was in full effect and the sunshine gave us some amazing light.

Beyond the setting, there were many Jewish wedding traditions that took place and made for some absolutely unforgettable moments. If I could describe this wedding in one word, it would be celebratory. Everyone was so deeply happy and joyous for Kim & Jake and also so thankful to be a part of this time in their lives. 

I couldn't think of a better way to round out the amazing year we have had with all of our couples. To Kimmy and Jake - thank you so much for inviting us to document this day. You are an amazing couple who is going to go so far in life and I can't wait to see where all of the adventure takes you!

LOVEe
