The Shire In The Woods | Alyssa & Adam | McGrath Wedding Photographer

Fall colors were in full show in McGrath Minnesota last weekend! On the first really chilly day of the fall Alyssa and Adam got married in the beautiful Minnesota woods of The Shire in the woods! 

They booked out the entire site so that they were literally surround by friends and family the whole weekend making it a true party!  

Adam told Aylssa what his favorite part of the day which was the same as Aylssas , laying eyes on eachother for the first time. They friends sang "now I see the light" from Tangled (❤) Alyssa clung to her father's arm as she made her way to her soon to be hubby down the aisle.

Although the day had its little crazy moments Adam and Alyssa made sure to say hi to all the people who were there to support them, making it the day they truly hoped for.  

Their reception was something out of a fairytale with LOTS of twinkle lights and center pieces inspired by Alice in Wonderland and other books and Movies this couple just loved .  

The day with Aylssa and Adam was truly beautiful and I am so excited to share those with you below!!

Machine Shop Wedding Photography | Brooke & Evan | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

This wedding I was able to shoot under Gina Zeilder Photography. Brooke and Evan where complete gems. They both were brimming with excitement and just pure joy the entire day. Both decided to get ready only a couple of miles from their home in Downtown Minneapolis as the Hewing Hotel. The girls started their day off with mimosas in a private room of Brian Graham Salon. I mean is there another way to start your wedding day?!The girls wore a lite mint green dress while Brooke wedding dress was a stunning lace dress which she paid with Badgley Mischka champagne colored heels. After Brooke got into her dress all the girls held hands as they were led into the room with their eyes closed until the big reveal. Everyone was just shook in the best way of how gorgeous Brooke looked on her wedding day!!

Next person to see her was her dad. They had a Father- Daughter first look in the downstairs room of the Hewing Hotel. It was so precious to see how excited her parents were to get to be a part of this day they had all been waiting for! After snapping a couple more photos we ascended to the Hewing Rooftop Bar by the pool for the first look. Watching Evan just soak her in was seriously adorable. Her gift to him was a Starry Night Print of one of their special days together. Evan loved the gift. We all partied it good up with the Minneapolis skyline as a gorgeous backdrop before heading out for full wedding party photos.

A short trip to Boom Island and back we all headed for the wedding Ceremony at the Machine Shop in Downtown Minneapolis. The Florals at the Machine Shop were AMAZING! They had a flower ring surrounding the main chandelier that just gave the ceremony such a whimsical vibe. The priest made everyone laugh throughout the service and gave his blessing to Brooke and Evan.

The were husband and wife before you know it; Both bride and groom just had giant smiles on their faces.

The reception was just beautifully decorated with candles, flowers, and greenery. One of my favorite parts of the day came during the first dance. While Brooke and Evan where twirling their way through the dance floor, Evan waved over his new father-in-law and left his baffled bride. He ran up to the stage and sang a couple of lines to their first song! Brooke was SO surprised and I loved this little surprise of the night!

The evening continued with lots of dancing!

Please enjoy this Machine Shop Wedding of Brooke and Evan!!

Redeemed Farms Wedding Photography | Courtney & Jordan | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Courtney and Jordan wed at Redeemed Farms last Friday! They were just excited to see each other the morning of; their first look was on the front porch of the house on the farm. The venue was soooooo cute and had Victorian Couches throughout the property. A couple of my favorite details of the day, Courtney's something old, some thing blue were two rings one was her grandmother's wedding band and the other a ring from her mom. The bride had them strung along her gorgeous vibrant bouquet.
Courtney really wanted to have the colors of the day pop; as you can see she definitely succeeded! Although Jordan confided that it was a little weird having all eyes on them all day, they just had to remind themselves oh right it is my wedding day! During toasts the best man let everyone know there was something weird going on with the microphone. He said he it was making everyone so emotional. When Courtney's dad got up to speak, before he said a word, him and Courtney were crying . Even though she yelled " Don't you start!" It didn't help with Papa Kleckner sharing his love for his daughter. It was one of my favorite moments in the day for sure.

Courtney and Jordan had a beautiful day and finished as husband and wife! I loved serving them.  This couple ended the night partying with their friends and family!
