A wedding day should be full of joy and laughter. In springtime, it should be full of sun, and perhaps some dashes of pink. Elly and Zeke got it all, though I’m certain that even had the day been overcast and rainy, even had things been covered in mud and the trees were bare, it still would have felt like warm spring with these two.
One of their first dates was at the Minnesota State Fair, a perfect proving ground for love. Like a trip to Ikea, a successful navigation of the state fair with the one you love means that you have been tested by modern society, by tired feet and fried food, and you have been found successful. It meant that their MN State Fair engagement photos were even more meaningful, and also set he stage for sun drenched and dusk-filled happy photos.
Thank you, Elly and Zeke, for being so joyous to work with, for bringing me along to eat the rest of the bag of tiny doughnuts, for laughing to freely, and for choosing a perfect day to celebrate with so many people. It was an honor to be there with you!
What the couple said:
Where to start with Becca? It isn’t even enough to say she takes beautiful photographs. She does, trust me. But she does so much more. She makes you feel comfortable, she makes you laugh, she genuinely cares about you and your day. She keeps rowdy groomsmen in line and gets a 5 year old flower girl to roar like a lion for an action shot. She is thorough but creative, patient but gets shit done. Even though I probably asked 20x if we were doing ok I time, she never once showed frustration for a nervous bride. 🙂 She kept us on time and she got us (and our limo driver) to all the locations we wanted photos at. She was so fun to work with and made me feel so much more at ease about being getting my photo taken over and over. And that was just our wedding. We also worked with Becca on our engagement photos at the Minnesota State Fair and after seeing those photos and experiencing that day with Becca, we knew we’d made a great choice. If you are wondering who to book for your wedding, stop wondering and start booking. Becca will be the best and easiest decision you made.
