I've often professed my love for casual weddings. I just love them. Where they may lack in expensive details, they make up with genuine love and honest excitement.

Sydney and Jacob's wedding day was a dream. I started off with the bride at her childhood home (just blocks away from my home in Moorhead). All of her ladies were busy like bees getting ready for the day. Sydney, however, was cool as a cucumber as she gently slid into casual wedding dress, a gem she found at Target. We took a few pictures in the neighborhood then headed to downtown Fargo for their ceremony. 

Sydney and Jacob were married at River City Church in Fargo. All the attendants were barefoot, the groom was crazy excited. The ceremony was nice and full of happy.

Just before they walked down the aisle, I snapped a few pictures of Jacob and his fellas.

When it was all said and done, we headed to a park nearby for a few portraits with family, friends and the lovely couple. It was a gorgeous day for photographs.

Now, my favorite part of the day - their celebration. Sydney told me she wanted the reception to be VERY casual, almost like a graduation party. Yummy treats were everywhere, as were kids. It was a nice afternoon and a perfect cap to a great day.
