After many years of being friends, dating, and then getting engaged, Jory & Krista's wedding day at Deer Lake Orchard in Buffalo, MN could not have been more wonderful or joyful. Surrounded by their friends & family -- many who traveled from so many different states, it was a great day to celebrate this special couple. I met up with the gals at a cute farmhouse near the orchard to capture some details and the getting ready process. The bride's vintage ring & bright yellow sunflowers spoke true to Krista's sweet style. The bride's dress couldn't have been more unique - and was made by the bride Krista herself! (She is a costumer for theater in Minneapolis.) Slipping into her dress with the help of her mom, the bridesmaids were already almost in happy tears to see their dear friend getting dolled up to say I do. We then headed down the gravel road to the orchard to meet up with the groom. Krista & Jory's first look was oh-so-happy. I've never seen a groom grin so big! The apple trees provided a great backdrop for the couple's portraits on the sunny morning. Then we met up with the fun wedding party; if I didn't know better I would've sworn they've all known each other for years! They were an absolute blast. After some family portraits, it was time to take the wagon down to the ceremony. The heartfelt ceremony was officiated by the couple's hometown church pastor, including a touching message and cord ceremony. Once the vows were said, the couple was presented and their wedding party danced down the aisle in celebration! Back up the the barn, guests were served dinner from a food truck - a nod to the couple's favorite part of their time spent living in LA. There were lawn games to play and local brewed cider to enjoy, along with an ice cream bar for dessert. After a bit of dancing with their wedding party (and boy did they put the "party" in "wedding party!"), I whisked the couple away for some sunset portraits. I cannot say enough amazing things about this incredible couple and their perfect wedding day. Congratulations, Krista & Jory! Its going to be tough, but I wish you a marriage even more beautiful than your wedding!
