levi + rose oates!

On Sunday, August 12th, we photographed one of the most beautiful weddings to date- it was amazing & emotional, and everyone was so joyous. Everything was absolutely perfect; with the exception of the bride's car blowing a tire on the way to the chapel! Rose was so relaxed though, and knew that it was all going to be fine... she called Levi on the way to the chapel (squished in the backseat of our car with her maid of honor and her dress and veil), and said, "I was just calling to see if you wanted to get married today?!" It was SO cute, and such a perfect example of her beautiful personality. Their wedding was at the Nazareth Chapel at Northwestern College in St. Paul, and the reception was at the beautiful and historic Semple Mansion in Minneapolis.

As I sat here sorting and editing the images, I couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed, as everything was so moving. From the beginning of the ceremony to the end, I doubt there was a dry eye in the house, including myself (although I can't speak for Chris). :-) We were so honored to be a part of your day, Rose and Levi, and we wish you nothing but the best as you start your new life together in the Bahamas!
