Growing up in a large family for me has meant having over 50 cousins...on one side! Marie is one of those amazing cousins who is pretty close in age to me, which meant that we got to spend a lot of time together growing up. My sister Annie and I loved any chance we had to run around thick as thieves with Marie and her sister Laura. There are some pretty epic photos from those good old days at our grandma's house, and it brings back the best memories for me! All this to say, Marie was always one of the sweetest girls you could know, and so it made me so happy to know she had found such a good guy to live her life with. Now, I may muddle up some of the details here, but the long and short of it is that Ken & Marie first saw each other on the city bus, and it was a crush-at-first-sight. Fast forward a number of months, and they get up the courage to talk to each other, and the rest is history! They've spent their relationship together in Minneapolis and the surrounding area, and so it was only fitting that they get married at Aster Cafe, in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis. Frequently labeled one of the best spots to have a first date, it made for a gorgeous setting, and it helped that the early April weather put on its best show for us! Most importantly, though, was the love that just radiated from Marie & Ken. It's clear how much they care for and respect each other, and I am so excited for them as they begin this new chapter together as newlyweds. Bearing witness to a day this special makes me realize once again how lucky I am to do this work. Please enjoy some of my favorite images from their wedding day!
