Steve & Kyrsten were married this past Saturday at Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead, inside the beautiful Stave Church replica located on their grounds. The replica is modeled after the Hopperstad Stave Church built in the Vik municipality of Norway around 1140. The woodwork is just amazing! It made sense for Steve & Kyrsten to marry here. When Kyrsten was 7 years old her family visited Norway with her Grandma, and celebrating her Scandinavian heritage has always been important to her. In fact, her grandpa originally immigrated to the U.S. on a boat similar to the Viking Ship on display inside the center. Steve & Kyrsten bring light to eachother’s eyes, and I felt so privileged to document the day they began their married life.

BEHIND
the LENS

Hi, I'm Abby Anderson! I love capturing beautiful stories through my lens. When I’m not behind the camera photographing weddings, portraits or brands, you’ll likely find me unwinding with a period drama or experimenting in the kitchen, creating a giant pot of soup packed with every colorful vegetable I can find.
