Happy Monday, blog friends. Today I've got a Grand Forks wedding to share with you!  
 
Jillian and Jess were married at St. Mary's on a sunny Saturday in Grand Forks. Most of our couples see each other before the ceremony, which can be great for photo takin' and things. But because Jillian and Jess didn't see each other before the ceremony, I had a lot of time with Jillian to take some fun photos of just her. Plus, the girls had a nice relaxing start to the day -- no rushing here or there for photos. They even had pizza for lunch! 
 
Then, after the ceremony, we went out with the wedding party for a few photos around town. We ended our photo session at the reception with a few family photos. It was a great schedule! 
 
The reception was held at the Ralph Engelstad Arena and was ammaaazzzing! It was our first experience there and we LOVED it. The decor, the food, even the cocktail hour, were all done so well! If you are looking for an interesting reception location in Grand Forks, check out the REA. 
 
On to the photos :) 
 
Pizza for lunch!

Jillian's dress was so different and fun :: a halter with a cool rouching detail on the back
