Woods Chapel wedding with Chinese Lion Dancers – Minneapolis

Its been a few years since Adrianne & Ian’s heartfelt Woods Chapel wedding, and yet it still sticks with me. Partially, I’ve loved seeing their family grow (I’ve been taking photos of their twins since they were newborns!) but that it only part of it.

Seeing Ian’s joy to be with Adrianne still stands out to me, even after these years.

Also, if you’ve ever seen Chinese Lion Dancers perform at a wedding, you wouldn’t forget that, either.

They have been through a great deal in their years together, and they brought a joyous sense of triumph to their heartfelt summer wedding. Ian’s laughter was infections, and Adrianne was perhaps the happiest bride the world has known. They were surrounded by many people who love them and a gorgeous setting, and they deserved nothing less!

This series of photos just touches my heart every time I look through them. A “first look” or a “first viewing” is something I set up so that the bride and groom can see each other and spend a few minutes away from everyone else before we start the formal photography, and it can clearly be an emotional time.
