We knew from the moment we met Ashley and Joe for their engagement session in Taylors Falls that their wedding would be amazing!  The two had been planning their dream day at Erickson Farmstead in Isanti, and we could not wait to celebrate with them alongside their family and friends!  Their big day had finally arrived, and Alexis of Bellagala ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

The morning began as the ladies prepared with Primped on hair and makeup, while we documented the details including Ashley and Joe’s vow books and their rings from Shane Co.  Ashley put on her gorgeous Kennedy Blue gown from the Wedding Shoppe, and stepped outside to meet her groom.  The two shared the sweetest first look filled with tears, and it was a complete honor to capture such beautiful and genuine emotions!  Following a private vow exchange, we set off to explore the grounds for portraits.  The wedding party joined us for photos and everyone looked amazing in their suits from Men’s Wearhouse and their boutonnieres and bouquets by Stephanie of Bellagala.  We finished up family portraits before guests began to arrive with Valley Limo & Coach.

The ceremony began with beautiful string quartet music, and Ashley and Joe tied the knot and exited all-smiles surrounded by family and friends.  Guests mingled throughout social hour, and everyone gathered in the barn for dinner by ZZQ Smokehouse Catering, speeches, and desserts from Something Sweet by Maddie Lu.  Ashley and Joe cut their gorgeous cake, and the evening came to a close with dancing under the lights with RJ of Bellagala.  Ashley and Joe, you were an absolute joy to serve, and we have no doubt that Croatia and Italy will be an unforgettable way to start out your newest adventure together as newlyweds!
