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!

Ritter Farm Park Couples Photography| Bethany & Josh | Lakeville Couple Photographer

Spring felt like it was finally here in Minnesota and I was able to enjoy a little of it this past weekend with Bethany and Josh! We shot a couples session to document this moment in their relationship.

Josh and Bethany first meet playing volleyball together. At the time they were dating other people so just friendship blossomed. As circumstances changed and both of their relationship status moved to single, Josh started to pursue Bethany. Bethany wasn't really sure at first but they still kept hanging out which Josh took as a good sign! It was too long after that they made it official!

Just a couple of weeks ago they celebrated their 2 year anniversary of dating! 

Besides competitive volleyball they also enjoy time together watching their way through Parks & Rec! (Also one of my favorites!) Favorite episode we all agreed happened in season 3 when everyone got the flu. 

For their session we meet at Ritter Farm Park in Lakeville, Minnesota! When I had been there previously everything was snow covered. This week here in Minnesota all the snow melted away and melted quickly. So when we got there we were greeted by flooded walkways. The water was literally up past my ankles in some spots! Bethany and Josh were such troopers as we made our way through all the brush just to make these photos happen! And I think it was totally worth it because LOOK AT THESE PICTURES! We had so much fun catching up and capturing these beauties along the way! 

 Please enjoy their couples session below!
