Lake Elmo Wedding│Krysta + Adam

I first met Krysta and Adam for their engagement session back in 2019. We clicked so well during that photo session, and they ended up booking me for their 2020 wedding, which I was so excited for! Of course, as for many other couples, plans had to change and the big 2020 wedding they had planned was postponed. 

The pair decided to keep their original wedding date in September 2020, but they eloped instead. You can check out their Santee Courthouse elopement here! After all the craziness of 2020, and even though their elopement was absolutely perfect, they still wanted to have a big wedding with all their friends and family by their side. Since the pair are both originally from Minnesota and Wisconsin, they pivoted their plans to have their wedding in Minnesota at The Royal Club wedding venue in Lake Elmo. When they asked me if I would fly out for it, I was seriously so honored. I know it’s not always normal to fly in wedding vendors from a different state, and the fact that Adam and Krysta wanted to take me along was truly something special. 

Seeing everything through, from that first engagement photoshoot, to their elopement, then another “engagement session,” and now documenting their big wedding in the place where they are from and surrounded by all of their loved ones was such a cool experience. 

I know how emotional and stressful having to postpone and change plans for your wedding day can be, and Krysta and Adam always seemed to bounce back so well. They finally arrived at the finish line with a day filled with emotions, joy, excitement, and so much love. Their friends and family surrounded them, (re)married them, toasted them, and partied into the night with them. It was magic.

And can I just say that people from Minnesota and Wisconsin are possibly the nicest people ever!? Everyone I interacted with at the wedding made me feel like I am now a member of the family. Can’t wait to come back soon and experience Wisconsin next time!
