Martha and Charlie’s lovely Minnesota courthouse wedding was small, but still full of joyous moments and sweet sincerity.

We rode the light rail that morning, taking some time for portraits in between.  We were very lucky it wasn’t a busy time, and got a full car to ourselves!  They were married in a beautiful and intimate ceremony at the Minneapolis Courthouse with their closest and dearest family members there to witness their union.  Their vows were sweet and simple, and I love that the courthouse had flower pens available to sign the marriage certificate!

After the ceremony, we had a delicious meal at Alma.  It was an intimate affair, full of comfortable conversation and lots of laughs.  Later in the evening, I took Martha and Charlie to the edge of the Mississippi River to enjoy the sun setting over the water and to capture some romantic images of the newly married couple.

There is something so special about being invited to share in this intimate occasion, and I am absolutely honored when a bride and groom choose to bring me along for such an important, personal day.

Congratulations, Mar and Char!  I wish you many more joy-filled years together!
