Bayport, Minnesota Wedding

When Jenna & Kevin asked me to capture their intimate elopement ceremony at his parents home in Bayport, MN, I was so excited! They have that forever love that seriously knows no bounds.

Jenna's bohemian style, thick lace, two-piece wedding dress with chiffon skirt was absolutely stunning! Near sunset, we ventured out to a local beach along the St. Croix River where Jenna & Kevin played in the water for some moody & fun couple photos!!

Hope you enjoy a peak into their day!!
