sam & sami [married!] | shakopee farm wedding photographer

June 16, 2015 • 2 Comments

A sunny Saturday in June at Sam and Sami's farm outside of Shakopee, MN was the most perfect setting for this couple to officially become Mr. and Mrs. Their cheery yellow farmhouse with a wrap around porch (pretty much the definition of my dream house!) greeted me as I drove up their tree-lined driveway. Inside, the bride was getting the finishing touches of her makeup done. I sent the groom down to a beautiful corner of their property to wait for the first look. What a happy first look it was! After giving Sam and Sami a moment alone to take in the excitement of the day, the military navy-blue clad wedding party came down the hill to join in on some photos. The coordinated lacy blue dresses looked absolutely stunning on the ladies! Then, it was time to get married! The guests filed into the little red barn and found seats on the hay bales under the twinkling lights strung thru the rafters. The officiant's message brought the guests to laugher and kept everyone entertained through the whole ceremony. Sam and Sami exchanged their own vows; so touching and meaningful. After rings and their first kiss under the arch to cheers of their guests, many hugs and congratulations followed. Thankfully the rain held off from falling from gray skies and we were able to take advantage of picturesque property for photos of the couple. I hope it becomes a tradition that they take a photo on their front steps every anniversary! The wedding party then piled into the Hummer limo for a ride to the bar - where they watched a horse win the Triple Crown! and then to the reception (this is when my car decided to break down!). Everyone had a blast at the reception eating mac and cheese, pulled pork, and cornbread for dinner, which was then followed by the speeches, including one incredibly heartfelt message from Sami's dad. He shared a little poem that Sami had written for her parent's anniversary and it was just so sweet. Congratulations to this wonderful couple - may your marriage be even more beautiful than your amazing wedding day!
