North Oaks Golf Club Wedding:: Brian and Kelsey

Posted in Classic, Fall, Minneapolis, Minnesota wedding, WeddingsTags: , , , , , ,

Each June, Brian and Kelsey go up to northern Minnesota to camp, followed by a stay in Duluth. In June of 2018, when the couple was in Duluth, they had just had dinner at a Japanese restaurant on Lake Avenue. Brian said it would a great idea to go down to the lift bridge one more time and walk down the pier to see the sunset. It was so much colder than both of us had planned for and the rain jackets they brought couldn’t withstand the wind, so they huddled together. Before deciding to head back to the hotel, they watched the sun go down. Brian stopped Kelsey before they went down the stairs and she thought he was tripping. As it turned out, he was getting down on one knee and pulling a ring box out of his pocket. Surprised and overjoyed Kelsey answered yes!

Their October wedding day was full of surprises. An early snowfall and unusually cold day did not keep us from being outside in the beautiful fall foliage. Kelsey and Brian were wed in the beautiful Church of Saint Pius X where Kelsey leads the church in music. Because the couple are both highly involved in lives of music, Kelsey an elementary music teacher and Brian a highly skilled music technician, there were beautiful pieces within their ceremony.

After the wedding, we headed to a beautiful park that Kelsey and Brian walk at frequently and was full of beautiful colored trees. Despite the weather, we managed couple and wedding party photos outdoors as their southern based bridesmaids were troopers amidst the cold!

North Oaks Golf Club provided a beautiful wedding space for the couple, and we were able to use many of the green space and side paths for wedding party photos.

What a wonderful October day it was, congratulations to both Kelsey and Brian!

    Silverwood wedding:: Brenna and Jake

    Posted in Classic, Minneapolis, Minnesota wedding, Weddings, WinterTags: , , , , , , , , , ,

    Jake & Brenna met in Rapid City, SD where they were both working as resident assistants (RAs) at the South Dakota School of Mines during college. It was Brenna’s first year as an RA and she was ecstatic to be placed on the same floor she had lived on as a freshman. She later learned that Jake was also ecstatic… to be RAs on the same floor as a “cute girl named Brenna”. Being a year older and thus a more experienced RA, Jake was responsible for showing Brenna the ropes – how to do nightly rounds of the dorm, planning events, and submitting paperwork. The two spent a lot of time together getting to know our residents and each other as we attended RA meetings, planned events for our residents, and studied together.

    As RAs, the two were encouraged to follow the “open door” policy, where we kept the doors to our dorm rooms open the first few weeks of class to encourage our residents to swing by and say hi. This made it easy for Jake and Brenna to get to know each other. Every time she passed by his room, they’d stop and chat, play his Nintendo 64, or feed our floor’s beta fish, Moses.

    As both Jake and Brenna got to know their residents, they constantly called us “Mom” and “Dad” when they took care of them by feeding them free food, and even reading them a bedtime story. As time went on, the idea of being a couple felt more and more natural – they already had 96 residents calling us “Mom” and “Dad”! In April of 2015, to none of our residents’ surprise, Brenna and Jake began dating. Since then, The two have survived over 2.5 years of long distance and are unbelievably excited to reside in the same city and home after their wedding. (Written by Brenna)

    Jake and Brenna’s winter wedding day was filled with all the winter elements ranging from Ice to snow and sleet to even rain. Despite all the weather, the two still braved the elements and went outside between bouts of rain and snow.

    It was a beautiful day for this beautiful couple and their joy was contagious. Thank you so much for making me feel like a life long friend and for all the joy you expressed on your wedding day! Congratulations!

      Land of Promise Wedding:: Tony and Tami

      Posted in WeddingsTags: , , , ,

      Tami and Tony had grown up with one another, but had lost touch after years. The two happened to be visiting their parents at the same time and happened upon each other at the grocery store. It wasn’t much of anything, just a simple smile. A few weeks went by and Tami sent him a message on Facebook. The two later met for coffee and started dating ever since!

      Being that friends and family hold a high importance to both of them, Tony knew that he wanted to propose in a place where they could celebrate with friends and family. The couple was on vacation with their extended family and had been having a tough time finding any time alone. One evening mid-week, Tami’s dad noticed a boat had come loose from the dock, and Tony said he would take care of it. Not missing a beat, Tami offered her help and Tony knew it was the perfect time to ask. Once they tied up the boat, Tami started heading back to the cabin, but Tony sat down on a bench and had her join him. The two started with small talk and as the conversation ended, Tony told her he had something to ask her. He then got down on one knee and Tami, stunned and overcome with emotion only nodded. Family that had been watching the event unfold celebrated with the couple as they headed back to the cabin and enjoyed the rest of their vacation together!

      Their September wedding day at the Land of Promise was full of all sorts of weather. A warm day was the perfect set up for their outdoor wedding, but with rain in the forecast the couple decided to do it under the pole barn which made the intimate wedding even better. Friends and family came from all over the state to celebrate with the couple and Tami and Tony’s children were even included as the flower girl, ring bearer and one of the bridesmaids.

      Tami’s beautiful wedding gown from Posh Bridal was accented by the fall florals put together by Designs by Rita. The bridesmaids looked stunning in their burgundy Kennedy Blue dresses while the men decided to take a more casual approach and wear vests from The Filson Store. Because one of Tony’s good friends and one of the groomsmen own’s VonHanson’s meats, the event was catered by them and the food was incredible.

      Tami and Tony’s cake from Buttercream Creations reflected the rustic vibe Tami was going for as did the invitations from Vista Print! Upon arriving to their reception, Tony and Tami entered to one of their favorite rock songs and surprised their guests with a wig and playing fake guitars!

      It was a joy for me to spend the day with Tami and Tony as they are our neighbors. Tami’s daughter suggested to Tami that I photograph their wedding after I came and talked about photography to her 5th grade class! I love how those things happen and so thrilled to have been a part of the day. Congratulations to all of you!

        The Grands at Mulligans Wedding:: Anne and Logan

        Posted in Classic, Fall, St. Cloud, WeddingsTags: , , ,

        Neither had really been looking for the other. Anne was on Bumble one night and showed Logan’s profile to her sister. She swiped away and the two ended up going out on their first date which became another and another until the two were a couple.

        One beautiful afternoon, Logan decided to surprise Anne with a trip to Stillwater. After walking the town and just being together, the two climbed to the top of the “stairway to heaven” staircase that overlooked the city of Stillwater. Once at the top, Logan got down on one knee as asked Anne to marry him!

        Their fall wedding day was filled with all kinds of weather, from mist and cold, to a beautiful golden hour and sunshine. It was truly a day for friends and family to travel to the beautiful Grands at Mulligans to celebrate with the couple.

        Happy tears were shed when Anne’s father saw her for the first time and as the two walked down the aisle. Even her brothers had a hard time holding tears back!

        Anne’s beautiful lace wedding dress from the Wedding Shoppe paired perfectly with the periwinkle dresses that the bridesmaids wore. The baby’s breath and greenery bouquets popped when paired with the navy suits that the men wore.

        Being that both families are very close, most of the wedding party consisted of siblings and in-laws. We all laughed though the misty rain and spent time toasting and making the most of the weather throughout the day.

        The sun came out in all it’s glory at the perfect time of the night to being us a stunning golden hour!

        Anne and Logan, what a joy it was to spend the day with you. I was so honored to be able to capture this incredible day with your family and friends and wish you so many blessings as you walk into married life!
