An Elegant Outdoor Wedding // Golden Oak Farms // Peter and Hannah

They were huge. I had never seen them up close before. But here they were, inches from the bride, Hannah. She was absolutely cool, totally relaxed, and loving her wedding day! They stretched out their necks for her flowers, desperate to take a delicious munch. In the background Peter, the groom, was getting away from another one and laughing heartily. My husband kept whispering in my ear that he hoped they wouldn't spit. Llamas. That's right, llamas. 

​Our bride and groom chose a Minnesota venue called Golden Oak Farms that had llamas on the land and not only wanted a photo with them -- but WITH them. They were up-close and personal. They checked out our clipboard to decide if it was edible. They photobombed the bride and groom. They, thankfully, did not spit. They were HILARIOUS. We laughed until our stomachs hurt!

​​Peter and Hannah are the quintessential traveling/adventurous couple. They’re currently

on a honeymoon in Australia and will come back for a short time before heading on a six-month trip to South America. How cool is that??

​How did they meet? In college. ​They both studied abroad in Italy (see a common travel theme here!) and found the food delicious and the scenery breath-taking. With their love of travelling comes a love of the outdoors and camping, but most of all they love each other, their friends, and family. The entire day was built around these relationships.

​Peter and Hannah, you obviously took every detail into consideration for your day. From the fun and unique travel guestbook wall to the gorgeous candlelit head table, the beautiful long velvet bridesmaid dresses to your blush perfume, Hannah, and the delicious mini donuts to the adorable floral bridesmaid robes.  It was clear though that while the details were important to you, they weren’t the most important thing. The most important things to you were your friends, your family, and your relationship – the beginning of the journey of two becoming one. You were so much fun to hang out with, so willing to try out a crazy idea – like walking up that huge hill to try to escape the heat and get a gorgeous view. While we didn’t escape the heat, the view was so worth it and you two loving on each other was so cute! You both were so joyful, so kind, and such a breath of fresh air. Hope you’re loving your honeymoon! We’re loving following along with the Instagram stories!
