In North Dakota you just never know what the weather will bring. This day was one of those crazy blustery windy days. As I was driving to Bismarck to meet up with Taylor and Alex, I was mulling over the places we could go to get us out of the wind and still get some of the lovely fall color of the day…before the leaves all blew away. Of course the Bismarck Heritage Center was the obvious and beautiful choice. Taylor and Alex were great posing lovingly with each other, while people wandered by, or even stopped to watch. They’re a gorgeous couple, so why wouldn’t one want to stop and smile along with them?
We also took a chance and experimented a little as we ducked into Plant Perfect Nursey, who were kind enough to let us photography there. And lastly, we braved the outdoors and headed into the parks, partially sheltered by the trees. I love looking at these, and not realizing that we were literally being blown all over and yelling above the roar of the wind in the trees. But mostly I loved getting to know this young couple a little before their big day. Honestly, I have known Tayler since she was just an adorable long blonde haired kindergartner. And it made me so happy for her to see how much Alex loves and adores her. All in all, the wind didn’t blow away anything from this day – it was perfect!
