Tim and Laura were married today!

I’m so glad that Tim and Laura found each other.  They are simply the perfect fit and were meant to be together.  Both are quick to smile, thoughtful, positive and love adventure.  And today exercised all their good attributes as we dodged the rain all over Minneapolis taking pictures.  The blessing in disguise with the rain was that we had a blissfully cool day and beautiful light to work with.

Tim and Laura chose bright summery colors for their wedding, and the bouquets by Sadie’s Couture Floral matched the bridesmaids dresses perfectly.

Tim and Laura love to dance, so the day started off with a romantic dance in the rain with a gorgeous view.

This group of friends love to laugh.  We had a great time with the portraits.  At various times a rubber chicken and frisbee even made an appearance!

Since the city of Minneapolis plays such a supporting role in the couple’s lives, we made sure to use locations that captured the various aspects of the city.  From a warehouse to a lush park, the river to the skyline, we made sure to include as much as we could in the images.

Oh, wait, a serious moment…

We whisked Tim and Laura away for a few moments alone with a gorgeous view of the skyline.  I just love how these images turned out!

Back at the church, Laura prepared to walk down the isle.  Calvary Baptist is such a lovely house of worship and the couple spent quite a bit of time putting together a meaningful ceremony.

Laura practically skipped down the aisle she was so excited!

With car horns honking, bubbles in the air, and friends and family cheering, the couple makes their grand exit.

The reception took place at the Metropolitan Ballroom, a simply gorgeous venue.  The retro charm of the space worked perfectly with the little bits of vintage details Tim and Laura incorporated into the decor.

Tim has been salsa dancing for years and swept Laura into this world as well.  Their choreographed first dance was a joy to watch.  And after the dance, they gave their guests a salsa lesson!  DJ Nico Suave played the perfect balance of music, including some great salsa.  The guests had such a blast!

Tim and Laura, thank you so much for having us be a part of your day!  We hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
