Katie & Sean are Married!

What a beautiful day! Katie and Sean prayed for good weather for their wedding day this April and the Lord answered in kind. With lots of sun and temperatures in the seventies, they enjoyed their time outdoors for photos!

The girls got ready at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest in the morning listening to Taylor Swift playlist to help get everyone in the wedding day mood! Katie and Sean’s details were so much fun with Kate Spade Wedding cork shoes, lots of colors in her flowers, and Katie’s Lucky Willow tree on the invites. Katie’s bouquet was made of all the flowers collectively of her bridesmaids bouquets! What a beautiful jester.

Katie and Sean decided to wait to see each other until going down the aisle! They said their I do’s at Mount Calvary Church in Excelsior with a church filled with their loved ones! After the ceremony, Katie and Sean both seemed so much more relaxed, finally being able to spend the day together!! Sean’s favorite part of the day was seeing Katie in her lovely dress!

There were important people who were greatly missed for this beautiful day and who were mentioned often in the dinner speeches, Katie’s dad and Sean’s mom. Little things throughout the day were added to make sure they could feel them in more than just spirit. Katie added a surprise charm on Sean’s boutonniere of his mom and Katie herself had charm photos on her bouquet. She also wore a bracelet containing a sapphire from her dad’s gift to her mom on their wedding day.

The reception details were a labor of love and excellently done by the bride and her support team. One of my favorite details back at Marriot Hotel was the seating chart for the guests. Katie made a Mail box wall with personalized letters for each and every guest! AMAZING! The BEST part of the day was seeing this amazing couple go around and serve each table with their dessert. It was important for them to show their appreciation for all their guests and serving them was such a beautiful way to show it.

The rest of the night was filled with laughter and dancing! It was such a wonderful day and I am so thankful to have been a small part of it.


Please enjoy this preview of Katie and Sean’s Wedding Day!

Savannah & Tim are MARRIED - Celebrated at Dellwood Country Club

Minnesota had a abnormally warm December so although we didn’t have the amount of snow we were hoping for it didn’t mean we did not enjoy our day to the fullest!

Savannah and Tim have been planning to make this day the best they could to not only honor their marriage but also honor their guests! We started getting ready for the day at Dellwood Country Club! Instead of a first look, Savannah and Tim wanted to save the first look for the alter and instead went with a first touch. They read their vows and exchanged gifts without seeing each other before the ceremony. Savannah started to read her vows but didn’t get very far before they decided to instead exchange and read each others vows. Lots of happy tears were shed.

Their ceremony took place at Church of Saint Peter. It was a beautiful moment with Savannah walking down the aisle and Tim getting to see her for the first time. They opted for a traditional catholic ceremony to proclaim their love in front of God, friends, and family.
After the I do’s, we enjoyed our time before the reception getting ALL the portraits to commemorate the day! Their reception details were AMAZING! It was a winter greenery dream wrapped up with black velvet bows. Complete with a champagne tower, the couple really wanted their reception to shine and be fun. With all the details planned to a “T”, I definitely think they accomplished that no problem!
We had fun with a quick sparkler tunnel, before continuing the party for the night. Savannah and Tim’s first dance was one they have been practicing for months. They elegantly danced across the floor before the rest of the guests joined in on the dance party! The couple had late night snacks of their favorite fair foods.

Please enjoy seeing their wedding day and congratulations to the newly married couple, Savannah & Tim!!

Blaisdell Wedding Photography | Amanda & Luke | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Amanada & Luke Marry in Minneapolis’s Blaisdell Mansion!

ARRIVING early the ladies started their day getting ready in Blaisdells getting ready room. The Blaisdell is a Minneapolis Mansion Wedding venue in the Twin Cities of Minnesota! Amanda and Luke made sure to surround themselves with their best people for their wedding day! Everyone had such great high energy all day. It made the day so enjoyable! Amanda's wedding dress fit like a dream and her and Luke had their first look just outside the front of the house. (The ladies inside enjoyed peaking through the window to see it too!) Luke had seen the dress before, but he admitted he forgot what it looked like, which Amanda figured that would happen. They were excited to see each other!

For more portraits off site, we made our way to Minneapolis Institute of Art. Some of my favorite photos of the day were taken here! After a good amount of portrait time that ended with a little rain, we headed back to The Blaisdell for the rest of the day! Apparently the rain can't get enough of Luke & Amanda. (It downpoured at their engagement session link at the end)

Their good friend Eric officiated their wedding. He talk on their love story and how fun it was to see them grow and sacrifice for one another. They grew to love each other's interests- anime, dungeon & dragons, cats like their Loui. When it was Amanda's turn to read her vows she welcomed everyone to their self-proclaimed “nerd” Wedding. One thing they uniquely did for their ceremony was they had the wedding party on the opposite side so the bridesmaids could she Amanda's face and the Groomsmen could see Luke's face. Before you knew it they were husband and wife and did one of the best dip kisses in the aisle! It is a must see!

Amanda and Luke are travelers at heart so for their tables they did different locations they had been all over the world instead of table numbers! After Speeches and food, the night ended with one of the best dance parties I've ever photographed! Everyone was having an absolute blast!

Please enjoy Amanda and Luke's wedding day at The Blaisdell!
