Emily and Jess -5/16/15- Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

Emily and Jess met in Minnesota but now live in Colorado.  They got married this last winter in Arizona….lucky……!…..but wanted to have their Minnesota friends and family share in their celebration.  That being said, they decided to have an intimate reception at Emily’s parents home, but also do some photos at the Arboretum.  What a fantastic idea!   She got to wear her dress twice!!!  I’m so jealous!  They picked the best time of year for this because the flowers were just blooming at the Arboretum.  Nature was their personal flower girl.  Pedals adorned the ground like they had been placed with intention.  Wonderful scents of lilacs and hydrangeas lured us further into the gardens.  We were able to stop as we pleased and enjoy every spectacular flower we wanted.  Among them, Jess even found a four leaf clover.  After our session, we traveled to Emily’s parents house, which was gorgeous!  The back yard served as meeting grounds for hugs and conversation.  Wine, food, and tasty desserts were passed around for hours as guests trickled in and out to greet the bride and groom.  Emily and Jess are back in Colorado, but are headed to Alaska to see Jess’s family for ones last celebration.  I’m so glad I could share in their Minnesota celebration!  Congratulations Emily and Jess!
