Ben and David

Ben and David were married today!

Minnesota REALLY loves these men…she took ominous gray clouds and quite the downpour and turned the day into bright blue skies and cool breezes just in time for their outdoor ceremony at the St Paul College Club.  The grooms were in high spirits and really starting to feel the emotions of the day as they got ready together.

We headed outside for portraits and took full advantage of the venue’s lovely grounds and greenery.  The two have such a beautiful relationship and truly understand each other.  I loved photographing them together, and capturing their laughter.

Ben’s pocket square belonged to his grandfather, he carried this bit of history with him all day.

Check out these dapper dudes!

Soderberg’s Floral used a clean white and green color palette for all the designs with a focus on lilies.

In the garden, David and Ben had a tear filled ceremony, which celebrated their relationship and dedication to one another.  The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, the trees were rustling, it was pretty idyllic.  Rachel Holder and Ovation performed a song together that touched all the guests hearts, and the pastor spoke beautifully about the commitment and joys of marriage.

After the ceremony, friends and family gathered around the grooms eager to congratulate them.  Everyone had a story about these two kind generous men and their dedication to their community.  The next few hours were filled with delicious food, sweet speeches, and energetic dancing.  Truly a night to remember.

David and Ben, it was such an honor to be a part of your day!!!  I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
