We met in the 7th grade where we had every class together, lockers next to each other and would essentially follow each other around all day by circumstances. This led to us becoming connected at the hip as best friends and eventually to dating in 8th grade. Since then we have been inseparable. We graduated high school together then went off to NDSU where we are now both in our third year of school—Gavin studying computer science and Addy focusing on human resources. 

about us

In June 2023, we were overjoyed to get married in our hometown of Bemidji, MN. Now, we’re living in Fargo as we finish our degrees and run Kestner Photography, a business that allows us to do what we love—capturing memories that last forever. We share a love for the outdoors, skiing, attending church, and spending quality time with our close friends. Launching our photography business has been an exciting adventure, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to create beautiful lasting moments for our clients.

The grass withers,
the flower fades,
    but the word of
our God will
 stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8
