Brianna + Jesse // Osakis, Minnesota

We love the chance to travel and capture unique love stories and this past weekend we ventured to cold and snowy Minnesota to celebrate the sweetest couple. When Brianna and Jesse invited us to photograph their winter wedding at Crooked Willow in Osakis, Minnesota, we were thrilled to be part of their day.

Brianna and Jesse’s story spans nine years, and their bond is truly special. Jesse’s calm and steady demeanor perfectly balances Brianna’s lively and fun personality. Together, they’ve built a relationship that’s supportive and full of joy. They together are two of the most welcoming and genuine people and we felt like long lost friends with them and their entire family and friend group.

The morning of their wedding, fresh snow covered the ground, turning Crooked Willow into a serene winter scene. Brianna and Jesse’s love for the snow was evident in how they embraced the season, from their outdoor photos to the genuine smiles they shared despite the chill. The ceremony was intimate and personal, held in a beautifully decorated space that highlighted the season’s charm. As Brianna walked down the aisle, Jesse’s expression said it all, they truly have something special.

We were reminded why we do this job with them, capturing the sweetest moments and getting to meet the best people. We are truly so thankful for this job we get to do and for amazing people like Brianna and Jesse who let us continue to do this work. Thank you friends for including us on this amazing day.
