Lyndale Park, Minneapolis :: Bridal Session

We were all hopeful that when Allie and Brett planned their November wedding that things would go easily and according to plan. But 2020 and Covid changed all of that.

Allie and Brett had wanted to have their intimate wedding at a venue in the south metro and celebrate with close family and friends. As summer came and went, they figured that they dodged the controversy, and went ahead in planning their 2020 wedding. When the threat of the November shutdown happened, they worked with their rehearsal venue to make things work so that they could have their wedding there a day before. And when the order came to close restaurants in November (their back up plan), the two decided to elope with their immediate family and just get married.

Because Allie and Brett never got wedding photos ( and I was totally bummed I could not hang out with them on their wedding day) we decided to put a spring date on the calendar where they could get back into their wedding attire and they could get the professional photos that they wanted.

It was a totally different day than their wedding, but both Allie and Brett were just as beautiful. We strolled Lyndal Park like we owned it and marveled in all the color that had sprung forth bringing new life and new beginning.

We don’t know what 2021 will hold, but we know the beauty that can come from a year of being still and reflecting. These moments of recovering what were lost in the last year bring me hope and a renewed love for my profession and the people I get to spend my time with.

Allie and Brett, thank you for being incredible people. It was a joy and honor to serve you! Happy six month anniversary!
