“Allison and Justin are the modern day Corey and Topanga from Boy Meets World,” says their group of friends. The two met at a business camp for St. Thomas, and have been together since! I was so THRILLED when Allison had asked me to photograph her wedding! The couple are seriously SO relaxed, sweet, and simple! Their wedding was clean with soft colors (blush and nudes) and was inspired by nature. The wedding took place at The Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center which is surrounded by lots of greenery and a lake. Originally, the couple had planned for an outdoor ceremony, but of course with Minnesota’s luck–it rained! The ceremony was still as beautiful with the skylight ceiling that brought in natural light. They were married by Justin’s good friend, Eri, that did an AMAZING job officiating and telling personal + funny stories about the two.
The evening ended with a beautiful reception, and a taco bar for late night snack! The speeches were hilarious and had the entire room laughing (I LOVED that!). The couple danced the night away with their friends and family, and it was definitely an unforgettable night.
I am so honored to have captured this special day for them. Enjoy these heartfelt photos from their wedding day!
Cheers,
Sammy
