Flawless | Lafayette Club Wedding Photographer

This past June Graddy Photography covered Ashley + Tommy's wedding at the Lafayette Club in Minnetonka Beach, Minnesota.  This was the perfect summer wedding with some less than desirable weather followed up by a great Minnesota sunset.  It has been such a great pleasure getting to know these guys better as a power couple and we look forward to years of friendship with them.  It was such a delight to work with such great families once again seeing as we photographed Tommy's sister's wedding six years ago at the Calhoun Beach Club.  So this is the first installment of the wedding post, don't worry, there is much  much more to come!  You guys are the best!
