7.7 wedding {kris kandel photography}

A message from the photographer:

"I'm Kris Kandel, I specialize 100% in wedding photography in the Fargo + Minneapolis areas! I adore the confidence that love brings out in people, those brilliant emotions and stories people just have to share. Laughing with couples over a cup of coffee is one of my favorite things! 


I've been photographing weddings for 11 years now, starting in high school when I was an photographer's assistant. When my mentor retired I started my own business in 2004, and moved to the Fargo area in 2008 ... so I've basically started my business twice, lol!


I LOVE Fargo, the wonderful mix of urban and rural possibilities here is unique.  Rustic Oaks has been such a joy to work with! They are very organized (they have to be - often doing 3 weddings in a row on weekends!) and have a great welcoming atmosphere.  The property has so many backdrops, it's easy to get a different look just turning around, which means the wedding day is a breeze from a photography standpoint!"

From our 7.7.12 bride!!

"Rustic Oaks was the perfect place for our wedding and the owners and staff made everything so perfect! The space on the property is so beautiful and provided the perfect back drop for our wedding day! Leading up to the wedding, Emily was so responsive and right on the ball with answers to our questions. They were so professional and had an answer for every question we could come up with! Using the house to get ready on our wedding day was so great and it made the day go seamlessly to have everyone at the venue. The ceremony space is so lovely, the reception is picturesque and the barn loft for the dance was amazing! We have gotten so many compliments on Rustic Oaks and many have said it is the most beautiful space for a wedding they have ever seen! Thank you so much to all the staff at Rustic Oaks for making our wedding everything we wanted and more. You all exceeded our expectations in every aspect!"

From our 6.9.12 bride...

"Rustic Oaks provided the perfect scenery for the kind of green, vintage inspired rustic wedding my husband and I dreamt of. There is a large yard (where we chose to have our ceremony), a beautiful house (where the entire wedding party stayed), and a large barn (where we had our reception). There is so much to do - a play set for the little ones, a fire pit where we had an impromptu sing along, and wide open space to go for a walk. Despite the anxiety that can accompany a wedding, it was impossible to be nervous at Rustic Oaks. The owners and Emily are such lovely, helpful people. They work tirelessly to make sure that all the bases are covered and that the couple has nothing to worry about. They made our dream wedding a reality."

This made my day...! Enjoy!

We received the sweetest message today...I just had to share it...!!

"Dear Anne, Dave, and Emily,

I would like to let you know what a delightful and perfect wedding day we ALL had at Rustic Oaks! From the beautiful setting of the ceremony to the use of your lovely home and very fun barn and campfire - it was more perfect that we had imagined!  We were made to feel so comfortable and "at home" as we prepared for the day and as we celebrated.

We could not be more happy!

On behalf of the bride and groom, and the Kuehl and Arneson families,

Tracy (mother of the bride)"
