Basilica of Saint Mary Wedding Photography | Mattie & Kyle | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Mattie & Kyle Marry at Minnepolis’s Basilica & Party at Metropolitan Ballroom wedding reception!

I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Mattie and Kyle's stunning wedding at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis. This iconic cathedral is not only breathtaking in its architecture, but it also provided the perfect backdrop for such a special occasion. With its towering spires, ornate details, and sacred history, it was the ideal location for Mattie and Kyle's elegant ceremony.

Mattie looked absolutely radiant in her mother’s vintage silk gown, a timeless piece that added a sentimental touch to the day. It was such a beautiful way to honor her family’s legacy, and seeing her walk down the aisle in that dress was a truly unforgettable moment.

It was so much fun watching them sneak little glances and snuggle throughout the day, clearly overjoyed to finally be getting married.

After the ceremony, we did photos and Mattie and Kyle were surprised with a horse drawn carriage ride from the Basilica for a little private time together to connect!

After the ceremony, we transitioned to the Metropolitan Ballroom in Golden Valley for the reception, where the celebration continued in style. The ballroom’s charm made for a chic and sophisticated backdrop, and the energy of the room was electric. Mattie made a quick outfit change, swapping her traditional gown for a fun ribbon dance dress, perfect for hitting the dance floor! The guests loved this playful touch.

From the heartfelt speeches to the lively dancing, every moment of the reception was filled joy. Mattie and Kyle’s family and friends came together to create an atmosphere that felt warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

As a photographer, it’s always a joy to document such special memories, and Mattie and Kyle’s wedding was no exception. Their day was filled with genuine calm joy that made the entire experience amazing. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of their journey, and I can't wait to see where life takes them next!

Please enjoy this look into their September Wedding Day!

Choosing the Wedding Photographer that is a Right Fit for You!

Choosing the right wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your big day. Your wedding photographs will be the lasting memories of your special day, so it's important to choose a photographer who will capture all the love, joy, and emotion in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right wedding photographer for you:

1. Determine your style: What type of photographs do you want to capture on your wedding day? Do you prefer a more traditional, posed look or a more candid, photojournalistic approach? Consider your personal style and preferences when choosing a photographer.

2. Check their portfolio: A photographer's portfolio will give you a good idea of their style, creativity, and the type of photographs they are capable of capturing. Look for a portfolio that showcases a variety of images that you love, and that tells the story of each wedding in a unique and meaningful way.

3. Consider their experience: Make sure your photographer has experience capturing weddings similar to your own. Consider their level of experience, the number of weddings they have shot, and the type of weddings they specialize in.

4. Ask for references: Don't hesitate to ask the photographer for references from past clients. This will give you a good idea of their level of professionalism and the type of experience their clients have had.

5. Communicate your needs: Be clear about what you want and expect from your photographer. Communicate your vision for your special day, and make sure your photographer is on the same page.

6. Ask about their editing process: A good photographer will have a professional editing process in place to ensure that your photographs are the best they can be. Make sure you understand how your photographs will be edited and what type of final product you can expect.

7. Consider their personality: Your wedding photographer will be with you for most of your wedding day, so it's important to choose someone who you feel comfortable around and who has a personality that matches your own.

By following these tips, you can find the right wedding photographer for you and ensure that your special day is captured in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible.
