Mill City Museum Wedding Photography | Sarah & Mitchell | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Sarah & mitchell marry at Mill City Museum in minneapolis!

Sarah and Mitchell’s wedding was filled with meaning from start to finish in the heart of Minneapolis. While not every detail went exactly as planned, the moments that mattered most unfolded beautifully. They were given a warm September day that made their portraits and outdoor vows even more special.

The morning began with a first look at Gold Medal Park. We had lots of fun making our way walking towards their ceremony spot! Sarah wore a gown covered in pearls with a dramatic train. She looked breathtaking, and her happiness drew everyone in.

Their wedding took place at Mill City Museum, one of the most iconic landmarks in Minneapolis. In the courtyard they exchanged vows that had everyone smiling, and the emotion of the moment carried through the rest of the day.

The reception carried a cozy and romantic feel. Guests gathered under fairy lights for dinner, surrounded by touches of sage green, black, and gold. The celebration closed with an energetic dance floor. Sarah and Mitchell had been looking forward to that moment, and it was the perfect ending to their day.

We took some intimate portraits at the top of Mill City Museum and they are some of my favorites from the day! I hope you enjoy them too! Please love on these two newly married love birds and their wedding day!

St. Lawrence Catholic Church Wedding Photography | Liz & Erik | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Liz & erik marry at St. Lawrence Catholic Church and host their wedding reception at Kellerman's Event Center

Liz and Erik came to the alter making sure their focus was on the gift of marriage God had given them! It was important to them that they really meditate on the gravity of the morning before saying their vows.

Liz and Erik’s wedding day was on a cooler Minnesota summer day, they married at their home church, St. Lawrence Catholic Church & Newman Center in Minneapolis. Their first look took place down the aisle—an emotional and heartfelt moment as Erik saw Liz for the first time.

For these two, marriage is a blessing they once thought might not happen until they found one another. During the reception speeches, one father quoted Fiddler on the Roof:
“The most miraculous one of all is the one I thought could never be. God has given you to me.”
It was the perfect way to describe Liz and Erik’s love story. (Which the Dj diligently played right after speeches were over to refresh everyone’s memory.)

After the ceremony, we stopped at Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis for portraits, then made our way to Matoska Park in White Bear Lake. The joy between them was contagious, and they loved being surrounded by friends and family on such a special day.

A trolley ride from Schmitty and Sons carried the wedding party to the reception at Kellerman’s Event Center. The reception theme was travel, with postcards on each table showcasing adventures from Liz and Erik’s journeys together. One of the most touching tributes of the day honored Liz’s late mother. Her mother and her mother-in-law’s wedding dresses were displayed for guests to admire, their portraits were included. Liz and Erik even cut their cake with the same knife her parents had used at their own wedding. These thoughtful details were a beautiful reminder of the legacy of love that surrounded them.

The evening continued with celebration as friends and family filled the dance floor. From heartfelt beginnings to a fun-filled reception, Liz and Erik’s wedding day was a perfect reflection of their story—one filled with gratitude and deep connection.

There’s something undeniably magical about a summer evening in Minneapolis—and St. Anthony Main delivers every time. With its cobblestone streets, riverfront views, and historic charm, it was the perfect backdrop for Anisa and Nathan’s engagement session. Their connection, laughter, and sweet in-between moments made this session one to remember.

A Perfect Evening on St. Anthony Main

We met up just before golden hour, when the light starts to get soft and warm. St. Anthony Main is one of the most iconic engagement photo locations in Minneapolis for a reason. From the views of the Stone Arch Bridge to the skyline reflecting on the Mississippi River, there’s no shortage of romantic spots. As the sun dipped lower, the whole city lit up in the most gorgeous golden tones—it was pure magic.

Anisa wore a soft, flowy dress that caught the breeze just right, and Nathan kept it timeless in a clean button-up and slacks. Their style was effortlessly chic, and it matched the classic vibe of the location perfectly.

Why St. Anthony Main Is a Top Minneapolis Engagement Spot

Engaged couples looking for Minneapolis engagement photo locations often ask for something that blends nature and urban charm. St. Anthony Main checks every box:

• Cobblestone paths for timeless portraits

It’s especially beautiful in the evening when the city lights begin to glow and there’s a soft, romantic atmosphere in the air.

Capturing Connection

One of the best parts of this session was how relaxed and connected Anisa and Nathan were. We spent the session walking, talking, and finding moments to pause and soak in the beauty around us. These two are so naturally affectionate—it made capturing their love feel effortless.

Their laughs were real, their hugs were long, and their story unfolded in front of my lens. Whether they were wrapped up in each other on a park bench or dancing on a quiet corner, it was easy to see how much they adore each other.
