Anytime I meet my new couples, as the wedding photographer, I strive to get to know what is important to them to capture on their wedding day. I want to capture the shots that showcase your personality, character, and love. With Crystal + Ronnie, it was CLEAR that they were head-over-heels in love with one another.

Their love shined through every picture, creating some of the most intimate photos I have ever seen.

Below are two of my FAVORITE parts of their special day.

Intimate First Look Between The Bride + Groom

Do you want to sneak away for THE first look? OR embrace the traditional aisle reveal?

It comes down to you + your partner!!! 💕 I love the intimacy of a private first look, but I think there is something special about your friends and families getting to participate too.

Benefits of the first look:

🌟 More intimate
🌟 You can hold hands or exchange letters
🌟 Less pressure for the “right” reaction

Pros of the aisle reveal:

🌟 Surrounded by loved ones
🌟 More time before the ceremony to get ready
🌟 Feels more traditional

Remember, do what feels ✨ RIGHT ✨ for you on your important day!!!

Beautiful Outside Venue That Makes Wedding Photos Stand Out

I can’t talk about Crystal + Ronnie’s day without giving a major shoutout to their venue JR’s Barn! There is something so calming about being outside. While you may worry about the weather, if you have a backup inside venue it takes the weather stress away.

All of the guests were captivated by the towering trees, elegant but rustic feel, and the altar that showcased the beauty of Minnesota.

Another PRO of an outside venue? You barely need any decor because of how stunning the landscape and natural backdrops are. This saves you money on your wedding while giving you magazine-ready photos!

Thank you Crystal + Ronnie for letting me capture your day.
