Furman University Elopement Photography| Events at the Davenport Wedding Photography | Heidi & Josh

Heidi, the Canadian hardworking girl, fell for Josh, a playful Italian.  When they had first meet it was through a mutual friend, but at the time Heidi was unavailable to date.
As time went on and their conversations grew deeper;so did their affection for one another.  Heidi's leap year birthday came up and she received the best birthday present, Josh's wedding vows. They had a small courthouse wedding surrounded by a couple of friends and a whole lot of love. They both wanted to share their love with others and decided to hold a reception at the Davenport in Greer, to which Marcus and myself were invited.
This was my first elopement and boy did I love it!! My favorite part of the day was the bride and groom portraits!! Having the opportunity to focus on just these two love birds was definitely the highlight of our East Coast Trip!
Josh's face seeing Heidi for the first time all dressed up and prettier up in her wedding dress was priceless.  

So blessed to be a part of Heidi and Josh's unconventional love story and elopement; I loved every moment.

Bryant Avenue Baptist Church Wedding Photography | Megan & Stefan | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Megan and Stefan met officially at college. Megan was really shy at first Stefan didn't think she was interested, it took a little bit of convincing but eventually Megan convinced him that she was completely interested. Unofficially they met when Stefan met Megan'sfather and he had Stefan waved at his family sitting in thecar. Little did he know he just waved at his future wife.

On the wedding day Megan and Stefan had me convinced within minutes that they could not be more excited to marry the other. Megan's details had me laughing with delight; her shoes were literally unicorns. If you know this bride at all you know how fitting they were and by the end of the night she convinced me that she was my unicorn bride! Stefan loved the shoes and his reaction had everyone giggling. 

The music that drew people in was the soundtrack to Pride and Prejudice 2005, which was so beautifully played and set the mood. Megan walked downthe aisle to Studio Ghibli; the moment could not have been more beautiful. 
As the reception came so did the rain, but it made sure to keep these two in mind because it didn't interrupt anything on the wedding day.  Having both worked at Caribou Coffee (Stefan very short time), their love of coffee was evident having their own coffee station with coffee bean favors for their guests to take home.

It was such a joy to take part in a small part of my MW Bride and Groom's lives. Congrats to such a sweet couple.

Eagan Hills Church Wedding Photography | Ashley & Hank McCarthy

Ashley and Hank's day was overflowing not with rain but with sunshine, smiles, and a whole lot of loving. Little things here or there ( lost eye lashes, adjustments to the time line, outdoor heat to name a few) did not have a damper on the day. Ashley is the kind of person who loves to laugh and loves to love others. She has a servants heart for those around her and it was very apparent through out the whole day. One of the most important things for this bride was to make time to go and have her grandfather see her in her wedding dress on her wedding day. We drove over to visit him at the VA after hair and makeup. It was one of the most tender moments to capture of the whole day. (Let me tell you, Heart strings PULLED!) She even got a smile from her grandpa. Her now Husband, Hank, is the strong silent type who is actually a really funny guy. All day Hank watched his stunning bride with a glowing smile. It was so much fun to capture. From the "I will's" at Eagan Hills Church to dancing the night away at Wabasha Caves in St. Paul, I declare the whole day to be a success! It wouldn't have been so wonderful if I hadn't gotten such an awesome and fun couple. Thank you for trusting me and risking your lives for the photos!
