It’s always an honor to get to know my couples’ families while photographing their big days. But for the Williams’ sisters, I also got to photograph all three of their weddings in Bemidji! At the same locations! That’s right, all three sisters had their wedding ceremonies in their parents’ backyard along the Mississippi River and then took a pontoon ride over to Hampton Inn & Suites on Lake Bemidji. They also each got ready in their parents’ room at their home, had both of their parents walk them down the aisle, had their guests send them off to the pontoon boat, took portraits on the dock at night, etc… In addition to my services, they also had a few of the same other vendors including Abbi’s Bridal Design, Hair Teasers Studio, and Complete Weddings & Events. They were even all each other’s maids of honor, two of them sharing the role at each wedding! Oldest sister Baret was the first to start this tradition when she and Dane got married in August of 2012. Two years later in 2014, Marin and Dustin had their August wedding. They loved Baret and Dane’s wedding plan so much that they decided to use the same idea but with their own spin that highlighted their love for music. Then in August of 2018, Kari and Mark decided to stick with the tradition. As Kari puts it, “[My sisters] have refined this recipe pretty nicely and are happily married, so it made sense to capitalize on their knowledge.” In fact, the recipe was so well-crafted Kari even booked the reception venue and my photography services before Mark even proposed! It has been such a joy to photograph all three of their weddings and seeing how each couple put their own style into the final details!
