Lauren + Seth | Southern Minnesota Wedding Photographers

Again and again we head home at the end of a wedding day completely humbled and grateful that the “job” God has given to us entails being a part of people’s lives in a way that very few are given opportunity.   We are VERY THANKFUL for that gift!!  Lauren and Seth’s wedding day was filled with emotional moments that brought us to tears more than once and we are very excited to share some of those moments with you!  We hope you enjoy this post as much as we have enjoyed composing it!

Mr. and Mrs. Moffett, we wish you the very best as you begin your new life together!  Thank you for making Malwitz Photography a part of your new beginning!

Such a beautiful setting for a wedding day!

We loved the emotional reactions when family members stopped in to greet the bride.  This was especially sweet when Lauren's aunt (and godmother) saw her!

These next few moments are some of our favorites of the day.  Lauren's mom presented her with a special gift that Lauren's father left for her before he passed away.   Not a dry eye on the room!  (ours included!)
