how the weekend began: you know that "woodsy" smell, the one that has a distinct fresh wood smell, pine needles, and the crisp smell of the waves lapping up on the shore. the view that is gorgeously breathtaking, you could look out onto the endless lake for hours and never tire of the relaxing view. that's how the weekend began--with gorgeous scenery and beautiful smells.
kelsey + steven had the most perfect labor day weekend, north shore wedding that anyone could've dreamed of. when kelsey asked me if I'd travel to lutsen to capture their big day- I had no hesitation! I usually start my blog posts off by talking about the couple. this one, I'm going to start off talking about their love. handwritten, personal, unique and story-telling vows....you guys, I've never really cried at weddings before...and now this! ;) their vows were so sentimental and ended with their favorite song lyric, which obviously meant so much to them. I've known kelsey for a few years, I know her adventurous spirit, her kind helping hands and her infectious laugh that lights up a room. I hadn't known steven quite as long. upon meeting him, he was a little reserved and then I learned that the adventurous spirit in kelsey, is absolutely matched in steven. and, much like his bride, his smile makes you smile back. what I'm getting at is--- the two are cut from a puzzle in which there are 5 pieces. kelsey and steven are each one (making 2), their family is another, friends another and their adventurous spirit another. each one of those pieces had a special place in their wedding weekend on lake superior. it was without a doubt full of love, family, friends and adventure. these two have the kindest hearts, warmest hugs and most "at home" feeling laughs!
it is nearly impossible to pick favorite (images + stories) from the day, but, here's my try at it....
