Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Wallrich!!! On September 9th, 2023, Courtney and Peter tied the knot at the gorgeous Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Minnesota.
Peter and Courtney first met while attending college at The University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, and the two have been inseparable ever since! We took their engagement photos on the bank of the Mississippi River by the St. Thomas campus because it held such fond memories of when they first fell in love (SO cute!)
They chose to do a first look and exchange love letters in order to share a private moment together before the ceremony. I love first looks & private vows/letter exchanges because they're the perfect solution for couples to get over their pre-ceremony jitters and have an intimate moment alone with their partner. Peter's face lit up with a huge smile as soon as he saw his beautiful bride. You can just tell by the way these two look at each other that they are undoubtedly soul mates ❤️
It was a cloudy, rainy day, but by some miracle it stopped raining right before the ceremony began! The ceremony was held under a gorgeous willow tree in the arboretum's weeping tree collection. There were so many moments of laughter and a lottt of happy tears. It was such an honor to witness these two amazing humans come together to make the ultimate promise to love each other for the rest of their lives.
After the ceremony was finished, we drove over to the reception at the iconic Chanhassen Dinner Theatres in Chanhassen, MN for some dinner and dancing! After our bellies were stuffed and we all dried our eyes after hearing the speeches, we snuck outside to take some quick sunset photos of the newlyweds and reflect on how amazing the day had been. Once we returned, the Wallrich's shared their first dance as husband and wife. It was so sweet watching Peter sing every word of their song to Courtney as he spun her around the stage.
What struck me most about Peter and Courtney was their unwavering love and support for one another. Witnessing the way they interacted throughout the day was truly a privilege. Their love is effortlessly portrayed in every frame, making it a photographer's dream to capture the essence of their beautiful bond. I'm so glad I was able to capture such a huge milestone in their love story. I can't wait to see all the amazing things these two will accomplish together in the years to come.
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Wallrich!
