We first met Chad and Leah over the summer of 2009 – although we didn’t do engagement pictures, we could tell that they were going to have a super fun day : )
We got to join them for the rehearsal and groom’s dinner in St Paul the night before their wedding – which was so much fun! We always love going to rehearsals/groom’s dinners before a wedding because we get more time to hang out with them, take fun candid pictures and get people used to having us around the next day : ) It is also neat to see the unique relationships between people!
Their wedding day started at the chapel on the St Paul campus of Concordia College. This chapel was a beautiful place to hold a wedding ceremony! We really enjoyed being their wedding photographers – what a great place to work!! Their reception was at the Mendakota Country Club – it was also a beautiful location for a wedding reception : )
From their wonderful St Paul wedding day – here are some fun things that stuck out to me:
Leah’s Grandma made the Bridal Party’s Mittens and Scarves as a wedding gift
Leah gave her Personal Attendant a beautiful frame – AND a box of Leinenkugels ; )
Their Bridal Party was made up of their Siblings: Leah’s Brothers stood up for Chad, and Chad’s sisters stood up for Leah! HOW NEAT! I love that they included family in such an intimate way.
We had such a great time with these two – Thank you Mike and Becca Goodpaster for introducing us to Chad and Leah!
