Interlachen Country Club Wedding Photography.
This year I was blessed to serve couples and families in different ways! I am just throwing together a small gallery of images that I loved from 2022. I was able to shoot weddings at new places like The Whim and return to others like the Machine Shop. I am so thankful for all these beautiful moments shared with me. Due to me being unable to bring it down, this is a monster of a post. So buckle in and please enjoy!
Emily and Philip’s wedding day was so amazing in so many ways. This couple’s love is real and beautiful, but all day they made sure Jesus Christ’s love shined brighter. In the song choice, the church location, in the speeches - all pointed right back to the God they loved. It was powerful and really cool to be a part of such joy and confidence in Christ.
Both come from bigger families, which made their wedding party choices easy as the spots filled up quickly. They had 12 flower girls and it looked like you walked into a little group of cherubs right from heaven’s doors.
Both the bride and the groom were laid back most of the day and really made it a point to try and love on everyone that came to celebrate their marriage.
We got a lovely June day (not too hot / not too cold). The ceremony was held at Brookdale Covenant Church because it was important to the couple to get married in a church. It has a stunning towering stain glass cross at the front of the sanctuary. The guests were invited to sing a hymn with the couple before the service. The vows were said and I truly believe God was glorified with their union.
The reception was held at Edina’s Interlachen Country Club. The ball room was decked out with stunning flower arrangements from Studio C Florals. But the head table’s flower arrangement was the real show stopper. It was held up by a piece the groom himself made.
After dinner and speeches, we snuck out for some really quick sunset portraits in the front of Interlachen. This couple lit up the dance floor in the best way afterwards.
I am thankful I was able to be a part of this amazing day. Please enjoy photos from Emily & Phil’s Wedding Day.

This wedding I was able to shoot along side Gina Zeilder Photography.
Sooooo much about this wedding was just amazing!! The day started with Jenny fitting in her dress and wearing it like it was tailor made for her. She wore it with such grace and elegance it had me giddy all day. I was able to witness my first Ebeneezer rock ceremony where all the guests were given a rock to place into a nest in front of the couple during the ceremony. Max the groom was a complete goof ball which kept jenny laughing. They got married at the church that Jenny grew up going to which had the most beautiful large windows. One of my favorite parts happened when we got back to the reception at Interlachen Country Club. Jenny and Max had a couple of minutes where each person in the wedding party had GIANT balloons and the couple ran through them. What resulted was just magic!
Max and Jenny decided to play games during the reception- one was the shoe game where the bride and groom had one of their shoes and raise the shoe on who they thought best described the question. The guests got a jenny on a stick or a max on a stick like at the Minnesota state fair and they raised which they though suited best. Another game was who has experienced as much as the bride and groom. Have you done this type game and if you haven't you have to sit down.
Jenny's grandparents are of Norwegian descent so they had a Norwegian layered cake to honor them. Tradition goes that the bride and groom should put their figures into the top and however many rings come out when they pulled up that is how many children they will have. So you can understand grandma was pretty upset when only one ring came up. And she gave her blessing that they need to have more than one child.
This was such a beautiful wedding and I was so honored to be a part of capturing it. One thing i hope to do again is the balloon exit!!
Your wedding day is important! It is a celebration of your marriage, your commitment, and your love! Marriage is a gift and something truly worthy of being celebrated!
I will be your guide, helping make your wedding photography experience fun and more authentically you.
