Minnesota Lake Wedding Nancy and Tiffany

I’ve had a difficult time blogging Nancy and Tiffany’s wedding. Not because it was hard to choose images, but because by blogging it I’m sort of putting an end marker on our time together. I don’t really want to magic to end, I suppose.

Which is to say, it’s taken me like a year to finally write about their lovely slightly rainy Minnesota lake wedding.

When you’ve planned for photo outside, a tumultuous downpour can seem like a bit of a downer on your wedding day. But rain just creates new opportunities, like sitting on the windowsill on the edge of a bathtub, and having a corner of the world all to yourselves. Nancy and Tiffany, their gorgeous style, their amazing friends, and their total love for each other, made for one tremendous wedding day.

We started at Nancy’s parents house, where rain kept us inside for photos, leading to my discovery that a rain drop sprinkled window is makes for a moody backdrop, even if Nancy and Tiffany had to sit in a bathtub to make it perfect.

Their ceremony and reception at Birches on the Lake was intimate and the kind of elegance that just feels comfortable.

And then the dancing was pretty off the hook.

Thanks to Nancy and Tiffany for letting me document their day and for trusting me enough to take photos in a bathroom, to their amazing wedding planner Sarah for organizing something so special, and to the many friend of theirs I still follow on Facebook who delight and engage me all the time.

I hope the magic never ends!
