Zach + Leah

Leah and Zach were married on a beautiful winter day last Saturday, March 9, 2019. Their gorgeous winter wedding started out at the Timberlake Lodge in Grand Rapids, MN. Leah was surrounded by her closest friends and family as she sipped on mimosa and finished up her hair and makeup. When I walked into the room I was immediately greeted by some of the most beautiful and kindest bridesmaids I had ever met. They welcomed me in and we gushed together over Leah’s stunning Allure lace wedding dress and her one of a kind floral bouquet! 

After every detail was in place we headed to the Mesabi trail in Leah and Zach’s hometown of Nashwauk, MN. Leah and Zach shared an intimate first look and then enjoyed photos on the snow-packed trail with each other and their amazing bridal party. It was one of the largest wedding parties I have photographed with 10 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, 3 personal attendants, and 2 ushers. It was a big day for the iron range as well. The Greenway hockey team was in the state championship! The groomsmen had joked that the town was empty that day-people were either at the game or at the wedding! The bridesmaids squealed over how gorgeous Leah looked and the guys kept the game playing on their phones so they didn’t miss a beat! 

I could go on forever about Leah’s incredible style and how gorgeous everything turned out! This wedding looked like it came straight off of a Pinterest page! Every detail was perfect and somehow she incorporated the north woods into her day in such an elegant and beautiful way. Did you notice the deer antler in her bouquet!? Never would I have thought that a deer shed could look so feminine! And although everything came together so perfectly and I plan on oversharing these images and stocking my portfolio with them, there was something far more beautiful about this day and that was witnessing Zach and Leah together and sharing in their joy as they said “yes” to forever together! They really are one of the sweetest couples! Leah is kind and generous and thoughtful and fun! And Zach is humble and patient and tender hearted. They make the perfect pair!  

Zach and Leah, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day! It was perfect in every way! I am so incredibly happy for the two of you and wish you a lifetime of joy together!
