Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Couples Session | Puiyii & John
Puiyii and John wanted to enjoy an session at Chaska's U of M Arboretum this summer! We are doing all the seasons. Showcasing Minnesota's summer month brings blooming flowers surrounded by green everywhere. Although it was a hot day we enjoyed the well kept gardens as we catched up and talked all about plans for this summer and the planning for their wedding ceremony here in the fall. It was hot but with these two you can't even tell!!
If you don't remember their story was meeting as they were going after their higher education at the U of M. Both following their passions they fell for each other and I love that of their story. Now they are throwing wedding celebrations on the Minnesota leg for John's side of the family and their Minnesota friends. Next thing they will be planning is an international leg back home for Puiyii's family and friends next year!
Honestly, loved all of these and I am super excited for the magic we make together!!
Please enjoy this summer couples photography portraits at the Minnesota Arboretum with Puiyii and John!

The Veranda Wedding Photography | Bri & Alex | South Dakota Wedding Photographer
Bri & Alex marry at the veranda by meadow barn in south dakota
After expected storms all week and one unwieldy trailer hitch, Bri and Alex's wedding day was nothing but sunny skies. Their wedding day at The Veranda by Meadow Barn in Harrisburg, South Dakota felt like a reward after months of planning. This wedding was truly a labor of love for Bri. She carefully selected each detail and spent countless hours bringing her vision to life. Seeing it all come together was worth every bit of effort.
The reception space was filled with thoughtful touches that reflected her style. Hand picked crystal glassware sparkled on the tables while customized rock name placements welcomed guests to their seats. Every detail felt intentional and personal.
The Veranda provided the perfect backdrop for the day. The white barn sits among an apple orchard, creating a peaceful setting that feels tucked away from the rest of the world. While Bri finished getting ready, the groomsmen spent the morning helping with the final setup touches, making sure everything was ready before guests arrived.
Bri & Alex had their first look under the cover of the trees and there they said their vows from the heart. After their private vows were shared along with some tears and hugs, we jumped right into portrait time for everyone with even some downtime to enjoy some togetherness before the ceremony.
They got married in an outdoor ceremony spot overlooking the beautiful property. While listening to the wind in the trees and a little of their story from the friend and officiant, Bri and Alex became husband and wife!
It was important to the bride and groom to have fun and time spent with guests! They both expressed their excitement of having all their favorite people all in one space. Weddings bring together people together in the best way! Their cocktail hour and reception where laid back with music from the Highway Call Band, drinks, and yard games! The whole day was filled with intentional details and handmade with love.
