Lindsey and Brian were so much fun to photograph… we laughed a lot (they have great senses of humor!) and loved their style. Their ceremony and reception were held at the Elm Creek Park Reserve in Maple Grove, MN. It was a great place for an outdoor ceremony… on top of that, the day was gorgeous! It really was a perfect day.
Emily and Mike’s wedding started out slightly foggy, slowly becoming sunny and bright. The day was loads of fun because we were able to photograph at quite a few different locations. We started out at the lovely Henry Sibley Historic Site in Mendota. The ceremony was at the Church of St. Peter in Mendota. We took some photos outside of the old church building there (neat fact: the Church of St. Peter is Minnesota’s oldest Catholic church). After the ceremony, everyone arrived at the Crowne Plaza St. Paul Riverfront Hotel for the reception at the “Windows on the River” ballroom located on the 22nd floor (what a view!). We were even able to sneak outside to snap some photos around a classic car show going on right outside of the Crowne Plaza. So much fun!
Katie and Jason’s day was made of beautiful light, lovely locations and an awesome couple. Their ceremony and reception were at Mulligans Events Center in Sartell, MN. It couldn’t have been a better day for their ceremony, under a beautiful tree, overlooking a golf course. We were also able to hang a chandelier from a tree for some fun pics of the two of them. Such an awesome day!
Shelby and Joel’s wedding was sun-filled, gorgeous day. They were married at the River Oaks Golf Course in Cottage Grove with a ceremony overlooking the golf course. It’s always fun photographing a bride and groom who radiate love for each other, and Shelby and Joel are no exception. Congrats, guys! It was such a great day!
Kelsey and Scott’s wedding was awesome! Their ceremony was at Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina, which is a gorgeous church, full of beautiful windows and light. The reception was held at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The acres of gardens and landscaping were great for photos (and we managed to sneak some in before a big storm hit!). It was a fun day, full of genuine people and a lovely couple!
Eric and Dee were a fun couple to photograph. We started in the West Side of St. Paul at the Wellstone Center, photographing around El Burrito Mercado and the surrounding neighborhood. The vibrant colors and murals were a great backdrop for the photos. After that we headed to Harriet Island where the ceremony and reception were held. It was a beautiful day with a big (but short!) storm in the mix.
Congratulations, Eric and Dee! It was so much fun spending the day with you!
Tara and Ryan’s wedding was awesome! Every detail was so well planned– from the beautiful ceremony at The Church of St. Michael in Prior Lake, down to a rocking reception held at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club in Lakeville. One of our favorite parts of the event was witnessing Tara and Ryan’s sense of humor… we saw it all throughout the day. They’re just the kind of people that after spending the day with them you realize you’ve been smiling all day and your cheeks hurt.

We had another rainy day for Sam and Adam’s wedding held at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. These guys were so awesome braving the wet weather with umbrellas (and a smile!). The chapel on campus was gorgeous! Their reception (at the Royal Cliff Banquet Center in Eagan) was also a lot of fun. It’s always great to see a couple deeply in love… we’re so happy for these two!
We came stocked with umbrellas for what was predicted to be a rainy Saturday for Kirby and Jacob’s wedding at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and reception at the historic Grand Hall Ballroom in Farmington, MN. The rain came, but we had a blast with these guys as we stomped through the puddles on our way to some fun photos. The love and joy they have for each other is so apparent, and made them an amazing couple to photograph. Congratulations you guys!
Kenna and James met in Japan so the Normandale Community College’s Japanese Garden in Bloomington, MN was the perfect choice for their ceremony. The forecast called for a 40% chance of rain all afternoon, but the rain managed to hold off most of the day with a few sprinkles during pre-ceremony photos. Their reception was at the beautiful Olympic Hills Golf Club in Eden Prairie, MN. The sunset was gorgeous and we were able to bring Kenna and James out to the golf course at that time for a few more photos. LOVE beautiful sunsets!
