BWB Ranch, Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Congratulations, Katherine and Mark! These two tied the knot at BWB Ranch in Laporte, MN! They had a beautiful summer day with an outdoor ceremony and reception inside the barn. These two met in Bismarck, North Dakota. Katherine was invited by her boss to a family/friend dinner party. As Katherine puts it, “Shortly after I arrived, I was introduced to Mark, this tall, handsome guy with the biggest smile.” Mark’s side of the story: “Talk about butterflies…I was awestruck from the start of her beauty and once I got the nerve to talk to her, I knew she was an even more beautiful person inside.” Well, the two spent the evening talking. A few days later, Mark asked their mutual friend for Katherine’s number. Katherine recalls, “After hearing from my boss and another friend that Mark wanted my number, I realized it was only the beginning.” Fast forward to their first Christmas together. Mark gave Katherine snowshoes for her present. Unfortunately, there was never enough snow so she didn’t get to use them. Jump ahead two years to shortly before Christmas. There was a snowfall and the two decided it was finally time to go snowshoeing! Mark decided they should go to their friend’s house, the same place where they had met. They brought along Mark’s dog, Kenai. “It was a fun and chilly walk in which I was having a wonderful time. We turned the corner of the path and there was a tree filler with ornaments,” Katherine says. Since her family decorates a tree on the side of the road every Christmas, she didn’t think much of it at first. Mark pulled Katherine over to the tree and revealed a red present with a scroll lying underneath it. Mark had placed a scroll with every ornament. Each ornament had a characteristic of Katherine’s that he loved and the scroll described the characteristic. When Katherine finished reading the scrolls, she opened a red present. The ornament read “Marry Me?” Then Kenai showed Katherine his new collar which read “Marry My Master?” When she turned around, Mark was on one knee with a ring. Of course, Katherine said yes! To make the moment even more special, their friend had photographed the entire proposal from afar!
