Wilderness Wedding Barn + Chapel Wedding Photos | Karly + Alex | Bigfork, MN Wedding Photographer

It’s been 3 days since Karly and Alex’s wedding, and I’m still obsessed with their whole day and all of their photos! This blog post is going to be a long one, but it’s so worth the look through!! Karly is an amazingly talented photographer, and it was SUCH an honor to photograph her and Alex’s day. I don’t think I stopped smiling the entire day because I was sooo in love with these Minnesota pines and all of the gorgeous details of the day!

Karly and I first met when we were photographing an event together back in 2019. It was so funny seeing our photos once they were edited because our styles were so insanely similar! Shortly after her and Alex got engaged, I got a message from Karly and was over the moon excited at the chance of photographing their wedding day! Fast forward to their Chicago engagement session, and I absolutely fell in love with these two. Their personalities and the love they have for each other was the BEST to be around and amazing to photograph 🙂

Their wedding day took place in Bigfork, Minnesota at the stunning Wilderness Wedding Barn and Chapel. We drove up and got to stay in the cutest wilderness hotel 🙂 The whole wedding day was full of smiles, so many happy tears, oh, and the cutest flower girl who stole the show all day long!

Enjoy my absolute favorites of Karly and Alex’s day as well as a sneak peek of their wedding film 🙂
