Big Balsam Resort Wedding

Just looking at these photos makes me smile. Lauren and Drew were married at her grandparents beautiful resort on Big Balsam Lake. There were so many fun moments from their day and I’m so excited to share them here with you!

To start off, Lauren and Drew have been so wonderful to work with. They have become friends throughout the whole process of planning, their engagement session, and now the wedding. They were so appreciative and just an absolute blast to be around! When you have great people to work with, it makes everything great….even when the wedding day weather calls for rain all day!

Another part of the day that was fun was the weather! It was supposed to rain almost the whole day and it actually only rained for a bit right after the ceremony! The day started out cloudy, then we had full sun with a few pops of clouds here and there, a night of fog and thunder and lighting. As a photographer, good lighting is always the trick to getting great photos, so this was a challenge, but a fun one! You’ll see a gallery full of lots of different lighting situations!

I also loved Lauren’s styling for the wedding! The dusty rose bridesmaids dresses were a color I don’t see often, but one that I loved!! And you’ll notice that Lauren’s Bride’s of France wedding dress was so classic. Going for a timeless look guarentees that you will always love your wedding photos! And this dress fit her perfectly!

Lastly, another favorite from this day was the laughter and joy that was had! I can’t tell you how hard I laughed at Lauren’s dad’s speech!!! I don’t think there was a dry eye under that tent! It is obvious that Lauren and Drew love to have fun together and are surrounded by people that feel the same! You could feel the excitement in the room and THAT is one of my favorite things to photograph!

Lauren and Drew, thank you so much for making this such an enjoyable day! You two are quite the couple and I was so thankful to be a part of your wedding day and to celebrate alongside all of your friends and family!
