Eleora & James

Eleora and James celebrated their beautiful wedding at the Lake Elsie Wedding Barn in Hankinson, North Dakota. It was the perfect summer day for these two to share their love with family and friends amidst the serene countryside.

Eleora and James are agriculture teachers surrounded by some of the kindest, most down-to-earth individuals. Meeting their friends and family on their wedding day was an absolute delight—they made everyone feel like part of the family, even vendors. Gestures like these truly reflect the importance of community to them and their loved ones.

The ceremony, overlooking the picturesque Lake Elsie, was incredibly romantic. Everywhere you looked, there were smiles radiating joy and love. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a relaxing cocktail hour, mingling between the tent and the barn. The evening unfolded beautifully, with a glowing sunset creating the perfect backdrop. As a photographer, I was thrilled to capture a few family portraits during that golden hour—it was simply magical!

Eleora and James’ wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love and the essence of a North Dakota summer’s day at the lake. Photographing such a special day surrounded by their closest family and friends was an honor.
