A RAINY ROMANTIC WEDDING IN SLEEPY EYE MINNESOTA FEATURING ST. MARY’S CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE BARN AT BALLARD CREEK.
Thomas and Elizabeth met through the Theology of the Body Institute – which was founded by Thomas’s dad, Christopher West! Their rainy wedding day was such a romantic, peaceful, and joyful event!
Thomas received an incense blessing before heading down the isle to receive his bride. His excitement as Elizabeth walked toward him was so tangible.
This church was absolutely stunning with its obviously intentional architecture and colors that lifted your soul heavenwards. 😍
These two have so much love and affection toward each other and it was so sweet to witness.
Thomas and Elizabeth wanted to sneak away to this staircase immediately after the ceremony so they could share a couple precious moments together as newly man and wife. And oh my goodness was it sweet and romantic the way they soaked up this time together. 🥹
The *most fun fact* of all, ELIZABETH MADE HER WEDDING DRESS BY HAND. 🧵👰🏽♀️🪡
After some church portraits, we all headed to the reception venue for bridal party photos.
The reception space was a beautiful rustic, yet classy and modern, barn and the charcuterie boards and string lights everywhere made the perfect vibe. 🤌🏼 ✨
I just love a happy go lucky “WE’RE MARRIED” moment 💍😮💨🍾
This venue had a space upstairs and it was such a perfect setting for some intimate bride and groom portraits.
A beautiful first dance for the newlyweds and then it was time to party!
CONGRATS THOMAS & ELIZABETH!
