Lizz & Brady Destination: Rochester, MN

Wedding Date: July 6th 2019

These two best friends have travelled the world to find each other and love to invite others along for the adventure. Brady, being a Harley rider and hockey player from Calgary, moved to Germany and extended an invitation to Lizz to see what life together would look like. She accepted and suddenly life will never be the same. To tie in his Canadian roots, they crafted an adventure to Banff for an epic two-day engagement session. In all reality, it was a photo shoot with new friends splashing in glacial lakes and sipping whiskey from every mountain peak we climbed.  

Mayowood Stone Barn was chosen as the backdrop for their wedding day, as it had just the right amount of class and country to make everyone feel at home in Minnesota. Their friends are like family to them they have met some amazing people in each place they have lived. The ceremony beneath an ancient oak had all the right touches of sincerity and candor before announcing their union and watch the crowd erupted in cheers. Hearing this rally call of all in attendance, I knew this was a special moment. I could tell what my heart and camera was experiencing was not only beauty, but the start of a legacy. I miss you two already!
