St. Joseph’s Moorhead Wedding Photographer | Ricky and Karli

These  high school sweethearts were married on Saturday
at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Moorhead.
Ricky and Karli planned a classic, romantic wedding with dressy shades
of black, gray and victorian lilac, and everything was lovely!
Enjoy this peek into their wedding day.

Karli said that every time she tried it on, it made her want to twirl!

St. Joseph's Catholic Church Moorhead Wedding PhotographerI loved the front steps, just outside the church, as well!
What a stunning backdrop for this princess bride!

St. Joseph's Catholic Church Moorhead Wedding PhotographerWe photographed the dashing groom, as well, but I happen to prefer the images on the right.
That is the real Ricky! (He was laughing at some of the groomsmen’s antics…)

St. Joseph's Catholic Church Moorhead Wedding PhotographerThe groomsmen asked to take this photograph,
and I told them I would only let them do it if they would give me 110% in facial expressions.
(They delivered.)
HAH!

St. Joseph's Catholic Church Moorhead Wedding PhotographerWe sent the wedding party back to the church
and I whisked away the bride and groom to what I like to call the “Tunnel of Trees” on Concordia’s campus.
Such a pretty spot.

Sometimes it helps to do a little dress “flapping” to cool off the bride.
Love this moment between Karli and her mom, Daria.

Some heavy showers hit as the guests gathered at the hotel.
It was pretty to watch the raindrops come down through the sunshine.
