In August 2019, I photographed the beautiful wedding of Katelin Hartman and Matthew Erickson. Katelin and Matthew were married at the Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo, MN where they had an outdoor ceremony overlooking picturesque Horseshoe Lake.
The men wore navy suits, accented with mint green ties and white floral boutonnieres.
Katelin’s long gown was accented with lace and her veil attached with a ornate jeweled fastener. Once everyone was dressed and ready to go, we began with the bridal portraits, followed by the bridal party and family.
Once the portraits were finished the bride and groom had a few minutes of down time before their outdoor ceremony, overlooking the lake began.
After the ceremony everyone had time to relax, kick back and have some cocktails. During the cocktail hour we were able to get more photos of the bridal party looking a lot more relaxed than they had prior to the ceremony.
Dinner, speeches and dancing followed in the grand ballroom
Most of the weddings I have photographed, in the past few years, have had a DJ but the Katelin and Matthew chose to have live music which was a fun, refreshing change.
The Hartman-Erickson wedding was a beautiful wedding, on a bright sunny day, with a lot of love and laughs. The gorgeous sunset that evening was the perfect end to a perfect day!
