Abella Weddings & Events in Chisago City could not have been a more perfect place for Samantha and Tyler to tie the knot!  Ally and her team were wonderful to work with, and we had absolutely gorgeous summer weather from beginning to end!  The morning began in the Cottage as the ladies finished hair and makeup with Lindsey Lickteig.  We captured a few photos in their matching PJs after documenting the details including rings by Wedding Day Diamonds.  Samantha put on her stunning Maggie Soterro gown from The Wedding Shoppe and stepped out to greet her father before meeting her groom.  

We knew from the moment we connected with these two at their spring engagement session in Stillwater that their wedding would be filled with beautiful emotions, and their big day did not disappoint!  Samantha and Tyler shared the sweetest first look and private vows before we set off to explore the grounds for portraits together.  The wedding party joined us for photos and looked amazing in their Kennedy Blue dresses and suits from Xandy’s Bridal House.  We finished up family photos before guests arrived.

Family and friends gathered for a beautiful outdoor ceremony, and it was so much fun capturing such sweet emotions alongside Olsen Media.  Following cocktail hour, guests entered the French Country Hall for the reception surrounded by florals by Forever in Bloom. Samantha and Tyler made their grand entrance to cheers, and everyone enjoyed speeches, dinner and desserts by Lake Elmo Inn, and dancing with DJAA Entertainment.  When we stepped outside for golden hour photos the most breathtaking rainbow appeared overhead, and we topped off the night with an epic sparkler exit!  Samantha and Tyler, your day was absolutely incredible, and we hope that Banff is the perfect way to kick off your newest adventures as newlyweds!
