Jordan & Matthew // Firefly Event Barn, Nevis MN


I travel between Minnesota and Florida photographing weddings and i LOVE every moment of it. Being a Minnesota Native, I am so honored to be able to continue to photograph amazing couples as some of my favorite locations in my home state. Firefly Event Barn never disappoints. Bonus, that I get to work with the love of my life who is the BEST wedding DJ in the Lakes area. Don't forget to scroll to the bottom to see the Day of Wedding Timeline.
