Mr & Mrs Hendrickson
The Best Day
Christian and Luda’s story began at Chick-fil-A, where they first met. Even though Christian is allergic to gluten, he continued working there just to be near Luda. What started as time spent together quickly grew into something more, leading to dating, falling in love, and a beautiful engagement in August 2025.
On March 14, 2026, they began their next chapter surrounded by so much love, joy, and intention. Their wedding day was a beautiful reflection of their relationship — genuine, joy-filled, and centered on the people who mean the most to them.
The day began with portraits at the Minnesota State Capitol, where the timeless architecture and elegant setting created the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful celebration. From there, family and friends gathered at Grace Evangelical Free Church to witness Christian and Luda exchange vows before the celebration continued at Banquets of Minnesota in Fridley.
From start to finish, the day was filled with energy, laughter, and heartfelt moments. Time with friends made every part of the celebration feel even more special, while a beautiful receiving line gave guests the chance to embrace the couple and share in their joy. As the evening went on, the speeches brought a perfect mix of emotion and humor, including a few embarrassing stories that had everyone laughing.
This wedding was especially meaningful for me to capture because Christian’s dad is a family friend of ours. Being trusted to document his son and daughter-in-law’s wedding day was something I am incredibly grateful for and do not take lightly. It was such an honor to be part of this season and to preserve these memories for their family.
It was also a joy to work alongside some wonderful beginner videographers throughout the day, all of us coming together to document such a special celebration. Christian and Luda’s wedding was timeless, heartfelt, and full of life, and I feel so honored to have captured the beginning of their marriage story.
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Hendrickson.
