Anna and Dan Marry at trinity Church in Lakeville!

Anna and Dan’s wedding at Trinity Church in Lakeville, Minnesota was the kind of day that left you feeling refreshed and inspired. Soft-spoken and deeply in love, these two were a perfect match — not just for each other, but for the Christ-centered marriage they are building.

From the very beginning, Anna and Dan made it clear that their greatest desire was to glorify God through their wedding. Every part of the day was infused with purpose — from their heartfelt vows and intentional music choices, to the worship songs they led before the night ended.

One of my favorite parts of the day? Watching Dan look at Anna with such tender, “in love” eyes — all day long. Their joy was quiet but powerful, and their connection undeniable.

They welcomed each guest with warmth during dinner, making every person feel like part of their story. And even though they’re both introverts, you never would have guessed it — they came alive surrounded by their people.

The evening wrapped up with worship and a bubble sendoff, a perfect ending to a wedding day full of grace, love, and joy.

If you're planning a Christ-centered wedding in Minnesota, Trinity Church in Lakeville is a beautiful venue for a celebration rooted in faith. It was an honor to document Anna and Dan's wedding, and I’m so excited for the journey ahead of them.

Crystal & Alex Engagement Session at Ritter Farm Park in Lakeville!

For their engagement session Alex and Crystal were relaxed as we enjoyed the last hot weather (80 degrees in October?! Waaaaa???) of the year at Ritter Farm Park in Lakeville! We enjoyed hitting some of the better known parts of the Ritter like the bridge and birch trees, but enjoyed some of the other trails as well. They wanted photos in their favorite season and Minnesota delivered!

First impressions aren’t always correct as Crystal and Alex found out in a big way. Crystal and Alex met in college but it definitely wasn’t love at first sight. They could not stand each other. Crystal chalked it up to not getting Alex’s dry sense of humor at first; but now it is one of her favorite things. It took finally working together for them to realize maybe this person is not who I thought. (In the BEST WAY!) Alex’s proposal was a little bit of a funny one. They had gone ring shopping together to help guide Alex in the right direction. He picked out this lovely ring by himself and told Crystal they should hike around the park. On the way back to the car Alex told Crystal that he had a question for her and pulled out the ring. He got it on her finger and it wasn’t until on the way back to the car when the rush came down did Crystal realize he had not asked her anything. They had a quick talk to clarify that yes he was trying to get her to marry him!! When the question was finally asked and clarified, Crystal said yes!

Wedding planning can be daunting, especially when you have family flying in. The engagement photos got the wedding ball rolling and I hope it helped get them both in the wedding bells spirit!

I greatly enjoyed our time together and I hope you enjoy photos from their engagement session at Ritter Farm Park!

Valley Christian Church Wedding Photography | Becca & Scott | Lakeville Wedding Photographer

BECCA & SCOTT

It started with a simple school girl crushing on an upper class-man. Becca made the first move and from there is was movie nights and crazy dance moves. One of the hardest times of long distance they finally have behind them as they tied the knot this past weekend at Valley Christian Church!

Becca and Scott got ready at the church; the girls were in the main building getting dolled up while the guys played games in the church's house across the parking lot.

Their first look was at Casperson Park on the doc. (This was Scott's favorite part of the day! ) We shot fast and furious just as it started to sprinkle and then the heavens opened and it down poured on us! I just think the sky couldn't hold in the tears of witnessing such a beautiful moment!
Even though we were blessed with rain, I am SO grateful it did note put a damper on Becca and Scott's spirits. It made the day so much brighter. The rain of the day made us move some photo stuff around to accommodate and keep everyone almost all dry for their photos. The bridesmaids were in the same shade of pink with all different style of floor length dresses, while the guys kept it simple with boutonnieres and white shirts.

A huge highlight of the day was the ceremony. Taking place at their church, the seats filled with people eager to witness the marriage between these two. They did a unity cross and the whole time they were just smiling at each other like they were the only two in the room. Right before the vows, their officiant Shawn revealed a little surprise. The Bride Becca had prepared a song just for her groom. A very stunned Scott say down at a chair at the piano while Becca played and sang " From the Ground Up" By Dan + Shay accompanied by her friend Josh. Scott was just basking the the beautiful voice of his now wife. He was not the only one crying in the room that's for sure. (Yes, I was balling too) It was a warm moment just witnessing the love between these two. She got a long hug once the song was completed. I think Scott loved his surprise! Mission Accomplished! Vows were then exchanged and they kissed for the first time has husband and wife!

They hosted the reception at First Baptist Church in Rosemount Minnesota where they first meet. We stole them away a little bit into the reception to take some more photos of the wedding party outside and just a couple more of them. They shared a private first dance and it was beautiful.

The night wrapped up with a sparkler exit!

It was one wedding I will never forget and I am SO happy for Becca and Scott. Please enjoy their wedding day photos!
