Wedding Celebration at Baviaria Downs with Jessica & John!

On a beautiful summer's day in Chaska, Minnesota, Jessica and John tied the knot at the stunning Bavaria Downs. Their wedding day was filled with romance and love, and their love story was the center of attention throughout the day.

From the moment they arrived at Bavaria Downs, it was clear that Jessica and John were meant to be together. They radiated happiness and excitement, and it was impossible not to feel the love between them. Their smiles were contagious, and they set the tone for a romantic and unforgettable wedding day.

The ceremony was held at a scenic overlook of Bavaria Downs with a calming pond and woods in the backdrop. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their loved ones, and the atmosphere was filled with love and emotion. As they sealed their marriage with a kiss, their guests cheered and congratulated the newlyweds.

The natural beauty of Bavaria Downs provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate photos. They shared tender moments with each other, and the chemistry between them was undeniable.

The reception was held in the elegant ballroom at Bavaria Downs, which was decorated with soft lighting, romantic florals, and delicate details. Jessica and John shared their first dance as husband and wife, and it was a beautiful moment that will be remembered forever. They laughed, smiled, and shared intimate moments together, surrounded by their loved ones.

The day was filled with love, romance, and unforgettable moments. Jessica and John's love for each other was evident in every aspect of their wedding day, and it was a true joy to capture the beauty of their day. Please enjoy a small preview of their wedding day!

Wedding at The Whim in Minneapolis!

This is a lovely wedding I shot with Gina Zeidler earlier in 2022 at Minneapolis’s The Whim. It is a beautiful industrial feel venue with white interior. Colleen and Nyada were just the sweetest and their dancefloor and Band was one of my all time favorites!

Dan & Jennifer Get Married at Holy Cross Catholic Church!!

Dan and Jennifer’s wedding day summed up in one word was Lovely.

The whole day reflected Jennifer’s classic taste with the small details (like fall inspired flowers and bridesmaids dresses to the best detail (the man she was choosing to marry ;) ).

Both parties got ready at the church in the morning before heading over to Nicollet Island Park in Minneapolis for First look. We were blessed with a beautiful Minnesota Fall Day with plenty of sunshine. The leaves had just changed a week or two before, so their first look was blanketed in a sea of yellow leaves. (Basically a fall wedding dream!!!) I am pretty sure the first word out of Dan’s mouth when he saw Jennifer for the first time was “ WOW.” (Just scroll through the photos and you will understand why!!)

One of my favorite parts of their portraits was where they read their wedding letters to each other. Holy Cannoli, it was something truly beautiful, genuine, and heart felt. Even now, thinking through those moments warms my heart.

We were later joined for portrait time by the wedding party at the park! The ladies were gifted scarves for a bridesmaids gift which they were able to use as shawls. After partying it up all over and being in ever Saturday runner way (#NotSorry) we headed back to Holy Cross Church for the Ceremony!

The details of this church were the best of Catholic Church architecture. The church looks so unassuming from the outside but so rich in art on the inside it is breath taking. It was a beautiful spot for Jennifer and Dan to get married in the eye’s of the Lord, family, and friends. The Lord was definitely glorified by their union.

After the I do’s, the wedding party took a quick portrait stop before heading over to cocktail hour at Sinclair on Grand for the reception. The space is a hollowed out brick warehouse perfect for throwing a party! Reception theme was book centerpieces. With food, Glam Dolls Donuts, the shoe game, and Dancing the night was complete with joy and laughter.

I greatly enjoyed capturing such a beautiful time with Dan and Jennifer. They are two of the sweetest people out there. I am so thankful they trusted me to capture such a great adventure in their lives! From surprise proposal to the wedding day, it has been a wonderful thing to be a part of.
