If there were ever a wedding that we didn't want to end, Heather & Joe's would be it! We are still captivated by the beauty and genuine emotion we had the honor of photographing at the always lovely Nicollet Island Pavilion. The incredible, romantic, and perfectly classic style they brought to the Pavilion with the help of Sarah from Lasting Impressions Weddings came together into a day that fit the two of them perfectly! Beginning to end, Heather & Joe's wedding was filled with smiling faces, soft details, and thoughtful touches. Heather & Joe are two of the most compassionate, driven, and sincere people we have ever met. We LOVED getting to know them, along with little Liam, during their engagement session at one of their absolute favorite places in the Twin Cities: Lake Harriet. They even started their wedding day in that exact spot during a special 5K run with family & friends around the lake!

Every wedding day is beautiful and special, but there was truly something unique about Heather & Joe's wedding day. Their smiles somehow manage to shine even brighter when the other comes close, and the energy they share is an absolute inspiration!

Thank you, Heather & Joe, for welcoming us into your lives and for opening your hearts to us! We feel blessed to have photographed your love story and are so happy for the three of you!

Love | K&B

Jesse waited patiently for his beautiful bride to make her way through the gorgeous landscape at Briggsville Gardens and tap him on the shoulder. Walking the gardens transports you to a place that's romantic, peaceful & secluded - the perfect place for Amy & Jesse to have a moment all to themselves and see each other for the first time on the day that they were to be married. Jess' dad provided the words that would bond them for a lifetime, and their closest friends & family collectively promised to support the vows A&J were professing to each other.

Together, Amy & Jess sealed their promise with a kiss followed by a monarch butterfly release! Rain showered them with luck & love as they wiggled through Briggsville Gardens, and then north to Cave Point to take in the beautiful county with each other, before arriving at Leatham Smith Lodge to celebrate.

Amy & Jesse, from the moment we spoke, and especially after spending time with you on your engagement and your wedding day, we knew that we were lucky to be able to photograph your wedding! We are so happy for the two of you and are beaming with excitement as we share the images we created with you on your wedding day!!
