What could be better than photographing a September lakeside wedding up in Brainerd, MN? Nothing! Cragun’s Resort on Gull Lake was the ideal venue for Blair & Taylor’s big day, housing their friends and family for a getaway weekend to celebrate their love!

Blair began the day getting ready with her bridesmaids in a cabin by the lake, and Taylor and his men straightened their bowties and watched football next door. After slipping on her effortless BHLDN gown (linked below!) Blair had a first look with her brothers before meeting Taylor down on a sunny dock. Many of my brides lately have been doing first looks with brothers or dads before seeing their groom, and I absolutely love it! If you’re considering something like this – do it! It only takes a few moments and can be so special.

After a quick ceremony by the lake, the bride and groom hopped on a pontoon with their crew and cruised Gull Lake! Let me just say that Blair wins for best hype-girl, if you can’t tell by the photos! After an out of the ordinary first dance (Chance the Rapper provided the soundtrack!) the party officially began.

Taylor & Blair, you two were so much fun to spend the day with! Thanks for trusting me to photograph these moments for you, it was a pleasure.

Here’s some (probably too many) photos from the day to help tell their story!
