La Crescent Wedding | Anna & Max

Anna & Max had an amazing wedding in La Crescent, MN. An artist and a musician getting married makes for one really cool wedding. Anna & Max were married by local music legend, Nicholas David who became ordained at the couples request.

Immediately following the ceremony torrential rain began to fall. Everyone had to hunker down in a small cabin to stay dry until the storm passed. The rain didn’t stick around too long and the fun ensued.

Shoeless Revolution did a fantastic job playing the wedding reception. There was a whole bunch of other awesome local MN musicians on hand, sharing their talents too. Members from Nicholas David & the Feelin Band, The New Congress, Heatbox, Root City Band, Alex Rossi, 8 Switch, Debra G, Steph Devine, Rhythmic Circus, Buckets & Taps, Werid Ass Trio, and the list goes on…

Needless to say the music and dancing went on into the wee hours…under an amazing starlit sky. Be sure to see the very last picture.

What a great group of people and an awesome wedding for sure.
