Katie and Nick's late April wedding was a perfect combination of tradition and quirk. 

They had decided not to see each other before their ceremony, so I arrived just a bit before to capture the couple as they prepared to walk down the aisle. 

They were married at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, (just south of downtown Fargo) where both Katie's grandmother and mother were married. In fact, she was the fifth bride to wear her grandmother's wedding gown (which is pretty darn awesome, if you ask me!) and even wore her grandmother's ring!

It was a tender and sweet ceremony.

Following the ceremony, and a few church portraits, Katie took off her grandmother's dress and put on her reception dress. 

Cycling is a BIG part of Katie and Nick's life, so of course they took a pedi-cab downtown to do a few portraits at the Great Northern Bike Co. 

Then off to celebrate at the NDSU Alumni Center!
