Elegant Stillwater Wedding at JX Event Center

Lauren and Ted’s wedding in Stillwater, Minnesota was elegant, romantic, and filled with joy from start to finish. All week, the forecast predicted rain, and the morning began gray. But just in time for portraits, the skies cleared into sunshine and blue skies. Their wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect.

The day began with Lauren sharing a sweet and emotional first look with her dad in the courtyard outside the venue.

We began couples portraits at the Stillwater Bridge, the same place where Ted proposed to Lauren. The riverfront backdrop was stunning, and it felt full circle to capture portraits at such a meaningful location. From then on, smiles never left the couple’s faces. Lauren and Ted were radiant together, always looking at one another with joy. Their wedding party matched their energy—groomsmen in black ties and bridesmaids in black dresses carrying calla lilies bouquets. Lauren’s bouquet of calla lilies and orchids was delicate, sophisticated, and the perfect reflection of her elegant style.

Their ceremony at Trinity Lutheran Church was heartfelt, just up the hill from JX Event Center. JX, a classic Stillwater brick building with soaring ceilings and romantic chandeliers, provided the perfect spot for their reception. Tables were decorated with green floral linens, calla lilies, and candlelight. Every detail gave off timeless, romantic vibes.

During speeches, the recurring theme was gratitude and admiration. Family and friends shared how Lauren and Ted love each other with intention, and how their relationship has made everyone around them better.

The celebration ended on a high note as the Bluewater Kings Band kept the dance floor full all night long. From beginning to end, Lauren and Ted’s wedding was a joyful, elegant, and classic Stillwater celebration to add to their love story.

Please join me in congratulating this amazing couple and enjoying their lovely wedding day below!

Millennium Gardens Wedding Photography | Caitlin & Armen | Plymouth Wedding Photographer

Caitlin & armen marry at plymouth community center’s millenium garden!

Caitlin and Armen’s summer wedding at Millennium Gardens at the Plymouth Community Center was filled with joyful energy, meaningful moments, and heartfelt celebration.

Leading up to the day, the weather forecast hinted at rain—but the storm passed through just in time to gift us a dreamy mix of clouds and sunshine. While the humidity stuck around, it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits—especially not Caitlin’s. Her joy was completely contagious from the moment the day began.

The couple shared their first look in the peaceful gardens, followed by private vows that were sincere, emotional, and full of heart.

The ceremony and reception continued with that same energy. The couple chose to serve their favorite dishes from Holy Land, creating a wedding dinner that felt personal and delicious. The dance floor kicked off with traditional Armenian dances, celebrating Armen’s heritage, and transitioned into an epic live band that kept the party going all night long. Caitlin and Armen were absolutely glowing—dancing, laughing, and soaking in every moment.

Just before the night wrapped up, we snuck outside for some final golden-hour portraits. The air was thick with humidity, but the light was pure magic. A perfect ending to a day.

Their families played a huge role in bringing this day together—every detail felt intentional, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. It was an honor to photograph such a meaningful celebration!
