Dustin and Danielle tied the knot on a day full of fun at The Venue, in Mankato, MN. Including lots of sparkle, touches of purple, and personal details. This wedding was extra special to me as the groom is my little brother! Danielle's love of anything that shimmers and shines was seen in the glitter of her dress and her matching glam purse and heels. Dustin rocked a new pair of boots as a gift from his bride along with a sharp black on black look. Our older brother Lucas assisted by tying all of the guys' ties in the moody men's getting ready room. The bridal suite made the perfect backdrop for Danielle and her gals to get all prettied up. The couple opted not to do a first look prior to the ceremony, so we snuck in some separate wedding party and family group shots beforehand. Then it was time for Dustin to see his bride! His face was full of excitement and I got more emotional than I expected! (let's blame the baby bump on that!) After the marriage vows were said and rings exchanged, it was time to celebrate. We grabbed some full wedding party photos as well as some more family portraits in the courtyard outside, which was complete with lawn games on the turf. Back inside after the grand march, the burger bar made for a delicious dinner followed by some laugh-producing speeches from friends and family. Then it was time for the shoe game and dancing the night away. Congratulations again, to the newest Mr & Mrs! It was a joy to be your wedding photographer and capture your milestone day.
