Hyland Hills Ski Resort Wedding Photography | Megan & Alex | Bloomington Wedding Photographer

Megan & Alex

Megan and Alex got married on Saturday at Highland Hills! The planning was crazy all the way up to the day but the rain held off for these two and the night was all sunny skies! Megan hates the cold so she was more than delighted that it was warmer weather! But what was she more delighted about? She was marrying her best friend Alex.

The ceremony took place at the bottom of the hill with a green backdrop. The rug was a last minute addition that Alex’s mom had suggested. Alex and Megan loved the extra pop and feel it added to their simple setup. They had an intimate ceremony of 25 people who love them the deepest. Megan's brother Nick officiated the wedding which made for some fun comments of Megan's past and how happy he was when he heard the new guy she was dating (Alex) was a homeowner. Alex's little brother Archie gave the rings and Megan was able to get the ring on Alex's finger with only a little bit of struggle.

I asked Alex what he was looking forward to for today and he could not wait to get the party started! Megan was just excited to have all her friends there to celebrate with! After the ceremony, the guests started to trickle in for the reception starting off with cocktail hour! All the guests enjoyed drinks and the games set up in the back lawns for them to enjoy the evening with. Alex owns a coffee shop in Eden Prairie called Smiths; for their wedding favorites they had a Megan and Alex Blend for everyone to take home! I absolutely loved this idea! You could just tell by looking at the excitement on Alex and Megan’s faces as they greeted everyone of their guests that they were full of genuine joy! We ended with a handful of sunset portraits and I could not be more in love.

Hyland Hills Ski Area Wedding Photography | Mariah and Josh | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

I think after the blizzard this weekend we need a little warmer weather in our lives here in MN! This is a wedding I shot with Gina Zeilder Photographer last fall during warmer times! 

Mariah and Josh were SOOO excited to get married at the Hyland Hills Ski Resort;  Josh was most excited to see his B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L bride and not have any more nights apart from this night on! It was both high priority for them to have their wedding day focused on God's grace and glory and they did so with smiles a mile wide the entire day! 
One of my favorite wedding traditions, they decided to wash each other's feet after the first look. It is a true sign of choosing to serve the one you love like Christ humbled himself and washed his disciples feet. 

Please enjoy their wedding day and try to imagine that warmer Minnesota days are on their way!
