Annie & Eddie's Spring Minnesota Wedding

THE REFUGE GOLF CLUB | OAK GROVE, MN | ANOKA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

This day was just beautiful.

I'm from Minnesota, so I must comment on the weather first, right? We prayed for beautiful weather and God blessed us with just that. Not a cloud in the sky. A perfect Spring wedding day!

I checked in with Annie before the wedding to go over all the details and timeline. We had a tight timeline after the ceremony to squeeze in family formals, wedding party portraits and bride & groom portraits before the grand march. I'm so glad we took the time to come up with a game plan because we nailed it! Everything went so smoothly. Looking back, I think we can attribute this to great planning and the mindset to keep focus on what really matters: the start of a beautiful marriage. Annie said during our calls together "I'm just so excited to be married." And that was what mattered most. Annie and Eddie's love story is something out of a movie! They were childhood friends. During their reception, they shared a slideshow of pictures from their life together. How many couples have pictures going back to them playing as kids? And now they are married!!

During my "get-to-know-you" call with Annie, she shared how much they both adore their pugs. Something we bonded over as I also love my fur baby! So naturally, the pugs had to join for a few photos after the ceremony. And they were dressed in doggie bow-ties! So cute!! I also have to mention Annie's bouquets that she put together. They are handmade, wooden bouquets! So impressive! And matched her rose gold theme perfectly.

Annie & Eddie, thank you for choosing us to be a part of your wedding day! It was an honor. We enjoyed getting to know you and your families. Now enjoy married life together!
