August 16, 2016 • 1 Comment

After dating many years and starting a family, Brooks & Alisha finally got to say I Do on the most beautiful fall day at Edgewood Farms on the Scenic Byway just outside of Henderson, MN. This was one of the most fun and sweetest wedding days I've got to experience lately - everyone was focused on having a great time and was there to celebrate with Brooks & Alisha. When I arrived, the bride and her bridesmaids were getting ready in the little historic cabin up on the hill, where the original farm family there raised 12 children! (Quite a feat given how cute & little the cottage was.) All of the little details were quaint and soft, from the baby's breath in Alisha's bouquet to the sparkly flip flops guaranteeing comfortable feet all day long. Once all dressed with the help of the girls and her mom, Alisha was ready to see her groom. Brooks was dressed in khaki shorts, boat shoes, and a white dress shirt complete with a vest & tie while waiting for his bride in a bright clover field by the corn. Such a happy first look! Their 3 year old son Maxen was way too adorable in his matching outfit to his dad's, although he would've rather rode around in the Gator all day with Granpda instead of take photos. The ceremony location up the trees was a great spot to whisk away the couple for some quick portraits. Back to the barn, we got the wedding party and family in on the fun. I loved the mix of the navy blue and coral pink as it popped against the barn doors. We were even able to convince Maxen to smile for a few family shots. We also couldn't help but do a few photos of Brooks & Alisha with their hunting bows as that is something they really enjoy doing together. Then it was time to get married! Andy, a friend was the officiant bringing laughs from the crowd when the notecards were given to him out of order. The ceremony was simple and sweet - roses were presented to the moms by the couple, vows were said, rings were exchanged, then it was time for the first kiss and cheers as the new Mr. and Mrs. Burmeister left down the aisle. Then we all headed down to the barn where navy and coral flowers in mason jars decorated the tables. Dinner was delicious and the speeches all had us laughing. The weather was absolutely gorgeous to hang outside, play some bean bags, and chat on the front porch. We took Deb's antique truck down the drive for some unique portraits of the newlyweds as well as some photos in the golden sun streaming through the trees. Boy were these two champs for putting up with all the bugs down there! Then it was time for the couple's first dance as husband and wife, it was so sweet to watch. The mother daughter dance brought lots of laughs as mom's earring got stuck in Alisha's hair - thankfully Ashley came to the rescue as she did during the ceremony with the bee in Alisha's dress! Then it was time for the wedding party and guests to dance the night away. Congratulations Brooks & Alisha!
