Thinking about this day makes my heart skip a beat. This day was so full in every wonderful way possible. Full of laughter, energy, tears, hugging, dancing and really great sing alongs.

Nate and I have been friends for years, and after meeting Anna at their engagement shoot in January, I could not freaking wait for this day. I love getting watch my friends get married, and it was definitely helpful to have my camera to cover all the crying I may or may not have done at this wedding.

Anna and Nate are such a perfect match. Both of them are firecrackers and light up everything they do. Clouds threatened rain all morning, but their energy definitely brought the sun out for their outdoor wedding ceremony at the Minnesota Boat Club on the Mississippi River. They assembled a kick ass crew of people for this wedding and you could feel the genuine excitement and admiration for Anna and Nate.

The songs and speeches shared about the couple at this wedding were incredible. These two are so so loved and adored. To hear people share what they love about them had everyone in tears. From there, everyone hit the dance floor HARD. Thank god that it was September in Minnesota because the cold air outside was a frequently needed respite. This crew can DANCE.

This was a freaking great day. Thank you again Anna and Nate for having me along.

Anna and Nate had the coolest engagement shoot at the Art Institute of Chicago. This was such a cool shoot and I highly recommend checking out HERE!
