Mariah and Derek | Southern Minnesota Wedding Photographer | Coop’s Event Barn
Mariah and Derek’s wedding day was truly picture perfect! We were beyond excited when the day dawned bright and full of sunshine just for these two “crazy in love” school teachers! If you love amazing smiles, you will enjoy this happy, happy post, which gives you just a glimpse of the start of Mariah and Derek’s new adventure!
CONGRATULATIONS, MR. & MRS. HATTEN!! We are SO EXCITED for you!!
Such a perfect barn venue!
Soft and romantic!
Very precious loved ones were remembered many times throughout the day, and we can only wish we would have had the privilege of meeting those special people!
How about an amazing ceremony site?!!
And there’s our absolutely radiant bride!! We LOVE that smile! (You might see it a few more times throughout this post!!)
Mariah and Derek have the cutest bunch of nieces and nephews ever, and they all completely adore their aunt and uncle!! So sweet!!
We love the reactions of Mariah’s mom and sisters during her first look with her father!
On to a few pics of our groom getting all spiffed up!
Dad’s cuff links.
Are you ready for one of the sweetest first looks ever?
We LOVE that smile!

Beautiful day, beautiful bride, handsome groom, and a fun time had by all. So happy to have Mariah in our family. Couldn’t ask for a more loving, caring young lady for a daughter. Good job Derek. Love you both.
