Photographing this wedding day was extra special to me because I’ve known Adam since middle school! I used to hang out with him and his core group of guy friends, going from house to house in one day and getting to know all of their families and siblings over time. Through photographing Adam and Grace's wedding, not only did I get to reconnect with Adam and meet the bubbly-as-ever Grace, but I was able to see that core group of guys that I hadn’t seen in many years. What a blast from the past.
Most of the wedding day took place at Grace’s parents' homestead where she grew up in Plato, MN. Having the wedding at the homestead was special to her and the whole family, and after spending time on the property I could understand how meaningful the different spaces were and how much love went into taking care of it. For the ceremony and reception 75 people gathered to celebrate outdoors in a quaint garden space, along with an outdoor tent for the reception. It was a great time watching everyone celebrate and at the end of the night create their own dance party in the barn!
I’m so excited for you Adam and Grace, so thanks for letting me celebrate with you and capture your wedding day!
