A MN Garden Wedding, Panola Valley Gardens - Amanda & Matt

I had an absolute blast following my sweetheart of a cousin, Amanda, and her husband Matt, through the amazing scenery at Panola Valley Gardens on their wedding day. It was the longest and most picturesque stretch of "aisle" I've had the privilege of traversing - remaining just steps ahead of the couple while capturing all of the changing variety in the gorgeous surround! I'm thrilled with the resulting photos, and I hope that you and the family will enjoy these as much as I have been. Thank you again for hiring me to cover this unique and memorable day - and congratulations once again! 
Enjoy this sneak-peek of of my top-favorites; (I've reserved a few more for the Website!) Many more to come your way soon!

A Minnesota Wedding at Columbia Manor with Karen & Richard

What can I say about Karen & Richard? They are a couple of the most laid-back, fun-loving people I've had the opportunity to meet and work with! This is good - as their adorable son, Henry, had a tendency to 'steal the show', as it were (in the best possible way!) Although rain moved the ceremony indoors, we got to "play" outside in the garden again later in the afternoon ~ soaking in all of that color! At the end of the night, a sizable group of friends joined the happy couple in a dance to the classic Michael Jackson song: "Thriller". Too fun! Thank you for allowing Denise Mack Photography to capture all of your memories. Below is just a snippet of the day's events. Enjoy!
