Makenzie and Craig are one of the most joyful, enthusiastic couples we have ever met! Their excitement as they planned and prepared for their wedding day was truly contagious and we were very blessed to have been a part of it! As we look back over their amazing wedding day, we were most blessed by their ability to enjoy every single minute of their day, even when their plans did not go exactly as they had hoped! (Rain, rain, go away!)
Thank you so much, Makenzie and Craig, for choosing us to photograph your special day! You could not have made our job any more enjoyable! Thanks for having so much faith in us and never batting an eye at all of our “suggestions!” We look forward to seeing where God takes you in the years to come! (And maybe we can tag along the next time you go to the Dominican!)
We started the day with some getting ready pictures at City Limits Salon in Olivia, MN.
Doesn’t Makenzie have the best smile? Her excitement just could not be contained, which made the day VERY fun for us!
Love this!
Happy, happy tears!
And when your sister starts crying…you kind of have to start crying as well! 🙂
We absolutely love this image!
Sweet sister love!
On to a few details and the very emotional first look!
The rest of our beautiful day was spent on the grounds of the Gilfillan Estate near Morgan, MN.
We loved the soft, romantic style of Makenzie’s bouquet!
You are going to LOVE these sweet captures from the bride and groom’s first look! Craig definitely did not hold back the emotion!
They are SO, SO, crazy about each other! We just love how excited they were to begin their forever together!
Gorgeous!
Look at those smiles!!!
A favorite shot for sure!
There are always so many special people “behind the scenes” on the wedding day! We just love this shot!
This is definitely one of our favorite images of the day!
Love this!
We think they were excited to get married! 🙂 Seriously, they just have THE BEST smiles!
Love this!
Simply stunning, Makenzie! What a beautiful bride!
How about this little cutie?
So, so pretty!
Sisters!
We LOVE this shot! We had the privilege of photographing Makayla’s wedding just a couple years ago and were beyond blessed to be a part of Makenzie’s wedding!
A very proud auntie..and such an adorable nephew!
Look at all of those adoring fans trying their best to coax little Elliot to smile! 🙂
Love this!
Ceremony time!
This precious young lady very proudly told us she was the bride’s cousin! She was SO excited!
What’s a guy to do after all of those smiles?!
The bride has arrived!
So exciting!
Love this!
Another favorite from the day!!
The new Mr. and Mrs. coming down the rather soggy and muddy aisle, but so very happy to be married!
Yes, it may have been a “little” wet, but our bride and groom smiled right through it, mud and all! AWESOME!!!
We were jumping for joy when the sun broke through and we were able to catch a few shots of the bride and groom before heading to the reception! STUNNING!
We LOVED all of the sweet details throughout the reception!
Isn’t the detail on this cake impressive?!
Our groom carrying the bride into the reception!
This guy had people swarming around him ALL DAY LONG! So precious!
A sweet moment with Grandpa!
The speeches brought lots of laughs and a few more tears!
We think they liked the cake!
The very talented cake decorator!
First dance!!!!
Look closely at this shot! SO SWEET!
We couldn’t resist asking Makenzie and Craig to head out for this puddle shot!
We will end our post with a few golden hour shots of our bride and groom! Always one of our favorite parts of the day!
This shot really says it all! Finally, Makenzie and Craig are MARRIED!!!
