Kristi + Jayden | Downtown Rochester, MN Wedding

I got to make a fun-filled weekend trip across my home state to Rochester, MN for a wedding with Kristi and Jayden! We had explored some areas of Rochester for their engagement session so I was looking forward to going back and finding even more. I did some scouting the night before and found some amazing places, plus I got another serving of Newt’s cheese curds which are definitely the best cheese curds, ever. They are amazing, and you can quote me on that. 

Kristi’s family has been great clients of mine for the past 3 years and I was so excited to be apart of the next step in her life. Kristi and Jayden are hilarious people who surround themselves with funny, kind friends so how could the day be anything but filled with laughter and love. From the vintage trolley, to the flower’s that were picked up at the Rochester farmers market that morning, to the amazing downtown backdrops, this wedding is one for the books and will always hold a special place in my heart. 

I hope you enjoy a peek into Kristi and Jayden’s day!
