WINTER WEDDING AT THE MILL SITE IN ANOKA

winter wedding at the mill site

Kicking off the 2023 wedding season at one of the most beloved local wedding venues, The Mill Site - Events on the River, was an absolute delight. And let me tell you about the incredible couple who graced this special occasion with their presence - none other than the lovely Amanda and Brandon. Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, they embarked on a journey to celebrate not just their wedding day, but also the incredible milestone of ten beautiful years spent together.

Their love story is nothing short of enchanting. What began as a chance encounter as coworkers at the movie theater blossomed into a sweet and timeless tale that has stood the test of time. It's truly remarkable how their connection has deepened and flourished over the years.

Witnessing Amanda and Brandon's wedding day was a truly magical experience that reaffirmed my passion for capturing weddings. From the heartfelt first look between the bride and groom, to the emotional walk down the aisle with tears streaming down the groom's mother's face, every moment was filled with joy. The happiness reflected in the eyes of the guests as they entered the venue after the portrait session was simply breathtaking. This entire day was a collection of beautiful moments that deeply touched my heart.

As a parent myself, I've come to appreciate wedding days from a unique perspective. Seeing your child marry someone you've prayed for their entire life is an overwhelmingly emotional, rewarding, and surreal experience. I can't help but imagine that one day I'll be the groom's mother, with tears of joy streaming down my own cheeks.

Take a moment to enjoy the highlights of this sweet couple's special day! Amanda and Brandon, I want to express my gratitude for trusting me as your wedding photographer and for choosing the perfect day in March. The blessing of having sunshine throughout the day, with a pleasant high temperature of forty degrees, was truly remarkable. I wish you both countless years of happiness and love!

Thank you for reading!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT KENDRA

At home in nature. Ever-focused on beauty and the thrilling art of creation; found in the moments that leave me breathless and in awe. 

If there is one thing you can learning about me is how much I enjoy serving others. My heart is the happiest when I can put a smile on someone's face or help them feel comfortable during their session. After losing my grandfather this past year, I realized he was the person who showed me how to love others. He always shared the biggest smile and had the most welcoming heart towards everyone he met. I got to experience the joy he brought to this world with his love, and that is what I strive to be like as a wife, mother, and business owner.
