This past Saturday was Colette & Ryan's amazing fall wedding at Thunderbird Lodge in International Falls. Minnesota. International Falls is located about 7 hours directly north next to the U.S.-Canadian border. It was so great traveling and seeing parts of Minnesota that we have never seen and to see it in peak color was a treat. The ceremony was held in town with the reception taking place at Thunderbird Lodge on Rainy Lake. The bride and I actually have teamed up on many projects over the past few years as she was an employee for Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota. Well thanks so so much for including Graddy Photography in your wedding day plans and wish you both the absolute best!
