St Olaf College Northfield Wedding

Sarah + Abhi had one of the most unique “how-we-met” stories that I had ever heard. Years ago, they met on an airplane! They remained friends for many years until it grew to the point of them falling in love. They had an amazing Indian wedding earlier this year, and now they were celebrating their wedding in Minnesota where they live. They had their St Olaf College wedding where Sarah (as well as many members of her family) attended, at the Boe Memorial Chapel. It was such an amazing day!

The day began with preparations at Sarah’s parent’s Northfield home, as well as a nearby hotel. Sarah + Abhi held their first look on the riverfront in downtown Northfield. Afterward, we headed off to St Olaf College.

Once at St Olaf, we began with couple portraits, then captured their wedding party and finally family portraits. Their wedding ceremony was so beautiful and joyful! After their receiving line, we all headed off to Northfield’s Armory Event Center for their reception and fun.

Their celebration continued at the Armory in downtown Northfield. After cocktail hour was an amazing dinner by the Holy Land (new to the catering world!) They then began their dancing with not just their First Dance and father/daughter dance, but they then broke into an amazing choreographed Bollywood-style dance routine! That really got the crowd going with a night full of non-stop dancing and fun!

Thank You!

St Olaf College

Sarah + Ezra met several years ago while attending St Olaf College in Northfield MN. They now live half a country apart for jobs and school, and won’t be moving back to Minnesota until next summer. While they were in town visiting family and planning their wedding, they were excited for the opportunity to photograph their engagement session. Naturally, they gravitated toward the alma mater where they met. Luckily, the rainy fall weather held off long enough for us to have their beautiful St Olaf College engagement session!

St Olaf Engagement Session

We headed down to Northfield on a day with patchy rain. Since they were only in town together very rarely, we had to work no matter what the weather. Luckily, we timed it just right and photographed the two of them in some of their favorite spots on campus between rain clouds. We visited the running fields, a quiet bench overlooking a pond, a few of the gorgeous old buildings, the quad between buildings, a few walking paths, gardens and trails, and even on a spot overlooking downtown Northfield. The umbrellas came out at one point during a slight drizzle, but the rain left as soon as it had appeared. Sarah + Ezra loved visiting their old stomping grounds. A perfect fit while they are in the midst of planning for their big day. We had so much fun!

Thank You!
