Andrea + Ryan |Southern MN Wedding Photographers| Winter Weddings

GRATEFUL.  That is the word that comes to mind when we think of Andrea and Ryan’s wedding.  We are SO GRATEFUL that they gave us the honor of being a part of their day.  We are SO GRATEFUL that they were just as excited about their pictures as we were!  We are SO GRATEFUL for the love that they share.  We are SO GRATEFUL for the many family members and friends that came out in the crazy Minnesota weather to support them on their wedding day.  And selfishly, we are SO GRATEFUL that early in the day, God gave us “warmer” weather that allowed for outdoor pictures (our favorite) of not only the bride and groom, but also the wedding party!

Andrea and Ryan, we hope you enjoy this “little” peek at your special day!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Andrea and Ryan truly deserve a medal or two for these next few shots!  The MN blizzard had completely moved in by this point, 20+ MPH winds and all!   We are so humbled that they trusted us enough to stand out in the cold!
