St. James Hotel Red Wing , MN :: Wedding

Posted in Classic, Spring, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

What an incredible way to spend a spring day celebrating with Ashley and Duncan. Last summer we had such a blast together getting to know one another at the beautiful Centennial Lakes Park in Edina where the two were engaged and had their engagement photos taken.

I was so excited to be able to see the two of them again and laugh as hard as we did together. Ashley and Duncan’s wedding day was at the beautiful, historic St. James Hotel in Red Wing, MN. They both loved the historic feel of the hotel juxtaposed with the modern atmosphere of the newly renovated Portside Room. The space had gorgeous exposed brick, wood beams and chandeliers that were highlighted throughout the day with beautiful touches from 651 Studio Floral and Linen Effects.

Ashely and her bridesmaids woke, celebrated with a mimosa and then headed onsite to the River Blu Salon for hair and make up. Upon returning, Ashley got into her stunning dress purchased from Posh Bridal. Her Anne Klein shoes and the dusty rose Azazie dresses her bridesmaids wore were a perfect accent to her dress. I also love the gift that she presented to her mother. A commissioned piece of Ashley, her mother and her grandmother in their wedding dresses. After opening the gift, there was not a dry eye in the room.

Duncan and his groomsmen sported classic black tuxes from the Black Tux and Bentley Bates from Honey B Weddings kept the day moving with her incredible planning. Ashley and Duncan exchanged rings from Shane Co and Wedding Day Diamonds as Duncan’s father married the couple.

The St. James Hotel catering team provided a tasty meal for guests followed by a delicious cake from the Baker’s Table. Ambient Entertainment brought the party to the guests and had them dancing the whole night through while Jordan McKenna Films (Ashley’s cousin!) captured the entirety of the day on video.

It was an incredible day to celebrate a beautiful couple. Thank you for allowing me the honor of capturing your beautiful day!

    La Pointe Events, WI Wedding:: Lindsey and Carl

    Posted in Outdoors, Spring, Weddings, WisconsinTags: , , , , , , , , ,

    Lindsey and Carl met while playing Ultimate Frisbee while they were in college at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Both enjoy adventuring, traveling and being with friends and family. While hiking the Grand Canyon in Arizona with friends, Carl unexpectedly proposed to Lindsey as the sun was coming up and for the rest of the hike, the two talked and planned their wedding day. Back in October, I was able to photograph Carl and Lindsey’s fall engagement and it was then I knew how much fun we were going to have on their wedding day.

    Lindsey and Carl chose to have their wedding take place at the brand new La Pointe Events in Sommerset, WI because of the woodsy outdoor theme along the Apple River. Their spring day was absolutely perfect and every photographer’s dream. Lindsey and her bridesmaids began in matching robes while Molly Sames and Emma Sievek did their hair and make up. Lindsey’s mom helped her get into her stunning dress from Budget Bridal Boutique and she went to greet her father for a first look before seeing Carl for the first time.

    The tall pines were a beautiful backdrop as Lindsey and Carl’s wedding party joined us for photos. The bridesmaids beautiful sage Azazie dresses were beautiful when paired with the beautiful blooms that held wooden blooms that Lindsey created. Carl and his groomsmen sported dark grey suits also from Azazie and together this wedding party made me laugh so hard as we had so much fun together.

    Carl and Lindsey chose to have their ceremony along the beautiful Apple River and guests were seated for breathtaking views of the property. Lindsey and her father had an emotional walk down the aisle and the sun made its appearance as the two exchanged vows. We soaked up every bit of sunshine as we did golden hour photos together and then headed into their beautiful reception space where toasts, dancing and a hilarious rendition was preformed by Lindsey’s family and friends from her cabin. Adagio continued to bring the party to the guests while the catering team at La Ponte served a tasty meal and dessert.

    Lindsey and Carl, you are incredible and so much fun. Thank you for including me in your wedding day and trusting me to document your incredible event and I hope your honeymoon to St. Lucia is amazing!

      The Loft at Studio J, Stillwater:: Wedding

      Posted in Modern, Spring, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

      Both Teddy and Sophia had mutual friends in high school, but the two had never crossed paths until their senior year. She started crushing on him at the start of the year and they finally talked to each other on Halloween. Clicking right away, the two began talking and a few weeks later went on their first date.

      Since then, they graduated from high school and both attended the University or Minnesota where they both studied, made lifelong friends and gained priceless memories. Sophia and Teddy have traveled to California, Oregon, Texas, Maine, Colorado, Illinois and Utah together.

      In the winter of 2020, Teddy and Sophia went to his parents cabin. On the morning of New Years Eve, Teddy woke Sophia up early. After going on a walk and taking a dip in the the sauna, he suggested she take a little nap. Little did she know that while she was napping, he was setting up the proposal. When she woke up, Sophia walked out to the living room where she saw candles, flowers and Teddy in the middle of it all on one knee.

      Having friends and family together again was so exciting for Sophia and Teddy and they were so happy to finally be able to celebrate with them. The Loft at Studio J was a perfect location for their April wedding day. This historic industrial building in the beautiful city of Stillwater was a perfect location for both indoor and outdoor photos. Sophia’s lace dress from A&Be Bridal was even more beautiful when paired with the sage bridesmaid dresses from Birdy Grey. Lakeside floral created the most incredible bouquets which held white and melon roses and a variety of greens . Around Sophia’s bouquet, a small pendant from her great grandmother who immigrated to America from Ireland was perfectly placed. Teddy and his groomsmen sported classic black suits with black ties from Atmosfere. Each beautifully decorated table was numbered with a photo of Sophia and Teddy at the age in which the table number was. A blank sheet of paper was also placed at each table so that together guests could write a letter for Sophia and Teddy to open at their future anniversaries. Bella Vida served a tasty meal while Cakealicious provided an incredible cake and sweet cupcakes for the guests. Joe from Day One DJ welcomed the couple and guests to the dance floor and the party began and did not stop until the night was over and there was even a guest song sung by Teddy’s uncle.

      Sophia and Teddy, thank you for an incredible day and congratulations! I can’t wait to see where life takes you as you explore many more places together and celebrate your honeymoon in Italy and Greece. Happy wedding day!

        Camrose Hill Flower Farm, Stillwater :: Wedding

        Posted in Modern, Spring, Vineyard, WeddingsTags: , , , , , ,

        Three years ago when Eva interviewed Max for a job at Children’s Hospital, she was not only intrigued by the way he was extremely suited for the job, but for who he was as a person. Easy going and casual, Max was easy to be around and Eva found herself enjoying his company more and more when they worked together.

        The two started dating and two years later at the end of February, Max planned a hike for the tow of them at Lebanon Hills during the candlelight festival that they hold every year in the snow. Unfortunately the snow melted early that year and the paths turned to ice. As he and Eva walked (and slipped) along the path, Eva continued to ask him what was happening. Trying to be romantic and find the perfect spot, cold trying and keep Eva from getting upset, the two ended up heading back to their apartment. Upon their arrival, Max ended up getting down on one knee and completely surprising Eva by asking her to be his wife!

        Both Eva and Max had hoped for a September wedding, but like so many couples in 2020, ended postponing it to this May, and I am so glad they did. Their small and intimate ceremony at Camrose HIll Flower Farm was bursting with color and life. We took advantage of all the blooms in the garden by strolling the pathways. Eva’s beautiful ivory and blush tulle dress fit in perfectly for the feel of the farm. Max’s navy suit from Foursquare looked stunning when paired with the wildflower bouquet that Camrose created. Eva’s beautiful dark hair was pulled into a stunning up-do from Sarah Jane Salon. Their stationary, created by Eva’s step-father, Wally Preissing, was perfect when paired with rings from Jared and Enso were beautiful. Anna from Adagio brought some incredible music while Rack Shack BBQ catered in an incredible meal and Muddypaws brought their delectable bite sized cheesecakes.
