Saturday, April 4th was supposed to be the day, Michelle and Josh said “I do” in front of their closest 150 family and friends at my new favorite Minnesota wedding venue: PAIKKA. Instead, they wedded up by in front of a webcam and live-streamed their ceremony to their immediate family. Michelle’s dad officiated, and two of their friends were present to be witnesses. This was not what Michelle & Josh had planned nor expected for their wedding day, but regardless of what happened in the world, they were going to be married!

When I arrived, they were setting up their webcams and phones, getting the right angles and positions to record their ceremony. Michelle & Josh then shared a sweet first look before they “walked down the aisle” to the “alter/computer”. We spent the rest of our time, taking portraits in the modern and industrial ally next to PAIKKA. This wasn’t your traditional wedding, but it was one of the sweetest ceremonies I’ve had the pleasure of capturing in my career as a wedding photographer.
