I’m so excited to finally share Mason and Brandon’s The Grainary at Lake Valley Farm wedding today! This wedding was faith-centered and loving. The whole day just felt sentimental and intimate.
By far the most memorable part of the day was getting to shoot some baby announcement photos for the couple on the wedding day. They found out they were pregnant just before the wedding, so they brought some little baby shoes to the big day for some announcement photos. It was so precious and so special to be a part of.
On a fun note, the couple brought their bulldog, Ralphie, to the wedding for some pictures. I could not handle how cute Ralphie was! I absolutely love the trend of bringing fur babies to wedding days.
I wanted to write, in my own words, how sweet this couple is, but I decided it was better to let them speak for themselves. Here is how they met - from each of their perspectives!
Brandon’s Story: I first saw my wife when my basketball team was lifting in the weight room. We were just beginning our first lift as her cross country team was beginning to leave the weight room. As they were walking out, one quick look turned into a long double-take, which also lead me to tell my groomsman, Cody, "That cross country girl was pretty cute." Then, being the go-getter that I am, I proceeded to wait over 2 months until she added me on Snapchat, so I could begin the process of marrying this girl ASAP!
Mason’s Story: I had just started at the University of Minnesota-Duluth in the fall of 2018. I was running track and cross country and he played basketball, so I saw him from time to time walking to the locker room or weight room. I instantly told my best friend about him, she eventually told my family about my crush, and then I got bribed into adding him on Snapchat. One night (after a little liquid courage), Brandon Snapchatted me and asked me on our first date. The rest is history!
Who knew Snapchat was such a matchmaker?! I love hearing how couples meet. It just sets the stage for getting to know them more intimately.
