Spring. Such a breathe of fresh air to us all. A friend spoke to me of the most beautiful white church in Nerstrand, Minnesota – nestled amongst the hills. Ever since that moment I sought to plan and coordinate a time to capture the beauty of bridal portraits on its grounds. Valley Grove Church stands […]
