Happy holidays faithful followers! I've come back from a bit of a blogging hiatus and I can't wait to share all of the incredible weddings and portrait sessions I have tucked away! First up is the oh so lovely Meredith and Jared's fall wedding at Four Daughters Vineyard, near Rochester, MN. 

I could say so much about these two. They are both incredibly intelligent (both are residents at Mayo Clinic in Rochester), they are both extremely loyal to their families (you will see that just in photos below) and they do not take their lives or people around them for granted, (both have lost their sweet fathers in the last few years). There were so many sentimental details woven into their day.  The little blue heart sewn into Meredith's dress was from her fathers pajama pants that she has worn since he passed, the cufflinks Meredith gave Jared had photos of him and his father in them and the charms on Meredith's bouquet had photos of her dad and her in them. It was such a beautiful and emotional day, I found myself wiping tears behind my camera many times. 

If ever there were two people perfect for each other it is surely these two. They are so, so kind and genuinely caring. I was so incredibly lucky to document their beautiful day, surrounded by their wonderful friends and family. What a thrill and honor! 

I wish you both the absolute best and God's grace and sweetness over your marriage!

Special thanks to my second shooter Kendra Dahl for so many beautiful images, including the images above of Jared getting ready.
