On July 26th, 2014 Phodot photographer Mark Milburn and I enjoyed capturing the hometown wedding of Brianna and Steven at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Buffalo, Minnesota. Below are a few of our favorite photographs from the day.
Brianna and Steven choose to see each other before the ceremony. We set-up a private meeting in the new addition at the entrance to the church. The big beautiful windows lit the room and cast a soft glow over bride and groom. From the start Brianna and Steven were all smiles and ready for fun.
Every bride should make sure to give dad a hug before he gives her away to her new husband. The love and emotion from that hug sets the tone for the rest of the ceremony.
Brianna and Steven choose choose to symbolize their union with the exchanging of rings and the lighting of a unity candle.
After the ceremony we darted down to Buffalo Lake for some fun wedding party photos on the dock before heading to Minnesota Pioneer Park in Annandale.
I loved the bright sunny colors of the bridesmaids dresses next to the yellow station at Minnesota Pioneer Park. The light short dresses were a perfect match for the heat of the July sun. Pioneer Park is full of old colorful buildings. It is one of our favorite locations to do wedding portraits near Annandale. Keep in mind that you will need to make a donation in order to use the grounds.
Mark had a lot of fun photographing Steven with his groomsmen all over Pioneer Park. From the photos it looks like the guys were having a good time too.
From Pioneer Park we crossed the highway and made our way to Reichel's in Annandale Minnesota for the wedding reception. Steven and Brianna had custom wedding signs created to decorate the space.
Brianna and Steven treated every guest to a custom designed glass mugs as a take home party favor.
Steven dipped Brianna and ended their first dance with a kiss,
Brianna's dad was all smiles when he got his turn to dance with his daughter.
