Married! // Chelsea + Brandon!

 

Life has a very funny way of being serendipitous and putting people in your life at the perfect moment. Chelsea and I actually grew up in the same hometown, went to the same highschool and even travelled with our choir to Austria together! However, it wasn’t until she wrote me about being her wedding photographer that we really connected. Never in a million years did I think when we were kids that we would document this special day for her and Brandon, but that is what I love about life and frankly love - it surprises you in the best of ways!

I wrote about Brandon and Chelsea’s amazing connection in their engagement blog post and those same feelings of adoration, love and pure joy rang true on their wedding day as well! The couple chose to have their wedding in northern Minnesota at Lutsen Mountain, which was a destination trip for all of their guests! This was the perfect space for Brandon and Chelsea, since this couple really does thrive in the outdoors! Chelsea was of course a beautiful, stunning bride while Brandon also matched her beauty with his dapper look!

The weather was absolutely perfect for their weekend on the north shore and our team entirely enjoyed our time with Chelsea and Brandon’s family and friends. Beyond that, there were such sincere, heartfelt moments on their wedding day that left everyone believing in love! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Hentkowski!

LOVEe
