Saturday was Nate and Jessica’s wedding. The ceremony was held at Faith Lutheran Church in Spring Grove, MN and the reception was held outside at Nate’s parent’s farm just a few miles down the road from the church. When I did Nate and Jessica’s engagement pictures, they showed me around the farm, and I crossed my fingers that we would have beautiful weather. Well, Saturday was just perfect. I took so many pictures that I’m doing a two-part post so that I can share more with you. Today, I’ll show you all of the big stuff, and tomorrow I will show you all of the gorgeous details.
I just loved Jessica’s dress. You’ll see it featured more in tomorrow’s detail post.
Nate and Jessica saw each other before the ceremony. We did a special first look in the sanctuary of the church.
Then, we got all of the formals out of the way before the ceremony so we could have lots of fun after.
Faith Lutheran is a tiny, old, country church. I couldn’t believe how many people Nate and Jessica were able to squeeze in there. They had a lovely ceremony, and their minister did a great job of making it personal for them.
The reception, as I wrote before, was at Nate’s parent’s farm. It really was just beautiful there. As one guest commented, “it’s like out of a movie.”
This picture was Jessica’s idea. It took a bit of effort to get everyone out, but I think it was worth it. By the way, I’m standing on the deck of the house.
You know it is a good wedding when they serve chocolate milk.
I stole Nate and Jessica from their reception right at sunset to capture a few more pictures of just them.
I couldn’t wait to photograph everything all over again after sunset and with all of the twinkle lights.
Finally, the first dance…but there is so much more to share. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post!
