Wedding Date: May 29th 2021

Claire has spent her professional career as a banquet manager making other people's weddings perfect, but now it was her turn and I was all in to help her celebrate to the max! She put her heart into every aspect of the day and you could tell. It was family centered, with Jeff’s daughter at the forefront. After a gorgeous first on the bluffs overlooking a mini forest, the three of them exchanged letters that were more like vows to one another. They read them aloud while I captured the moment from a distance and there wasn’t a dry eye. Then the wedding party joined us and things got wild! I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in a long time. This crew knows how to party, and party they did! After a sweet outdoor ceremony we made our way to the bar where they first met and ran into a bachelorette party. Claire didn’t miss a beat and went right up to the soon-to-be-bride and wished her all the best and gave a few tips. She was even helping others on her day! But that’s just the amazing person she is and Jeff saw that from the very beginning. The party continued to the Carver County Fair Grounds where toasts and fun wedding games ensued before the dance floor and our signature Crazy Cam photo booth opened. As the party spilled over into the photo booth I couldn’t help but be thankful for this wild and loving bunch. Thank you both for inviting me on such a fun and unforgettable day!
