Nate Smith | Minneapolis + St. Paul Wedding & Portrait Photographer

I have known Abby for a long time. We were classmates at the same arts high school in Minnesota and I knew her to be an incredibly kind person who always had a smile on her face. When she first told me that she and Annie were going to get married and that she wanted me to be the photographer I was beyond thrilled. So in June I traveled back to Minneapolis for her wedding to Annie. I have not known Annie for very long but her warmth and laughter made me feel at home with her immediately.

On the morning of their wedding, Abby and Annie greeted each other with a kiss and headed their separate ways to get dressed and beautified before their first look--Abby in a vintage-inspired wedding dress and Annie in a stunning lavender suit.

Their first look was picture perfect as they couldn't keep their eyes off each other. After, we made the short trip to the Stone Arch Bridge where they received many congratulations from the runners and bikers going by.

The ceremony and reception took place at Abby's father's home, in his expansive backyard. Abby Annie said "I Do" under a beautiful triangle arch and afterwards enjoyed tacos and doughnuts with their friends and family.

Congratulations Abby and Annie! Thank you for making me part of your day.
