For my first ever destination wedding, I headed to Steele, North Dakota for Lindsey and Nate’s AWESOME country wedding! It was my first time to North Dakota and I gotta admit, I absolutely LOVED it out there! The landscape, the countryside and the people were way better than advertised! You may recall Lindsey and Nate’s rockin engagement pictures and how could you not because they were super fun!

I arrived in North Dakota on Friday and I had plenty of time to settle into the beautiful area and get ready for their wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The wedding took place at Lindsey’s parent’s amazing home that left me speechless! Seriously, it was like Brisa’s dream home! So completely idyllic and befitting of the area! After the rehearsal, we headed to Nate’s ranch for an authentic country dinner and then Nate, Lindsey and several of their friends entertained all of us with some roping! What more could I ask for?

The day of their wedding was unbelievable! Picturesque weather, amazingly warm and friendly families, friends and guests. Perfect tiny details (check out Lindsey’s jewelry website!) that surrounded the event especially their very unique unity branding; instead of a unity candle or sand ceremony! This was by far the largest wedding I have ever been apart of…more than 300+ at the ceremony and more than 500+ at the reception! How awesome is that? So much love and support for Lindsey and Nate 🙂

Ok, I could write pages and pages about my unbelievable experience in North Dakota, but I’ll save you from that and just share the pictures! 🙂

Prepare yourselves for an OVERLOAD of photos! You can view all of the photos from the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner: Lindsey & Nate ~ Rehearsal! And you can view all of Lindsey & Nate’s wedding photos through their online gallery: Lindsey & Nate ~ Love!
