Paige & Jordan Marry at Cleary Lake Regional Park!

Paige and Jordan had plans to get married and covid restrictions made those plans go right out the window!
They didn’t let all the covid crap get them down though. Even though their plans evolved, they still kept true to what they wanted. Paige & Jordan held their wedding ceremony at Cleary Lake Park with a very intimate group of family members and friends. The officiant was one of their closest friends Nicole, who had everybody smiling and laughing along! They got married on their 9th anniversary of being together! That is pretty awesome and special. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a celebratory meal at Eagan’s Doolittle’s before the wedding party and I did our portraits at a favorite nearby park. These sunset portraits had me swooning the entire time and this crew was just awesome to party with! (not too many bugs either!)

The next day at Cleary Lake Regional Park Pavilion more friends and family were invited to come celebrate with a relaxed game day and food in the Minnesota Sun! Everyone came relaxed and ready to enjoy the day with some Cafe Latte cakes! (They got a large variety which were absolutely delicious!)

Paige, Jordan, and I finished out their wedding adventure weekend with portraits with Paige’s horse Vinny! Although I don’t think he was the biggest fan, he did like being bribed with peppermints!

Please enjoy this look at Jordan and Paige’s Wedding Weekend Adventure! I really loved how they embraced it and really made this whole experience their own!! Enjoy!

New London Wedding Photography | Amber & Nick | Spicer Wedding Photographer

Amber & Nick get married at Peace Lutheran Church in New London!

Burning of the day at a balmy 90 degrees in Minnesota Amber got ready at her childhood home with her mama and sister.

Tippy the cat was brave enough to join us and for some odd reason kept going after the bottom of her dress so Amber's mom was standing guard. After putting on her dress we headed to the first look just a couple miles from the church. Nick got to see his bride for the first time. The first look was all smiles and hugs. We then headed to the church for portraits with the wedding party outside in the shade of one of the church's trees.
One of Amber's favorite parts of the day was the ceremony. They had their pastor start their day with the traditional vows from one of the great classics. "MAWAGE! MAWAGE IS WAT BWINGS US TOWGETHER TOWDAY". Amber and Nick absolutely loved it as they cracked up through the whole intro to their ceremony. After the Princess Bride quotes were over, the Officiant wanted the audience to know that was specially requested by the bride and groom.
It is a beautiful thing when God brings two people together in marriage. It was a privilege to witness these two say "yesh" and become husband and wife!

After the ceremony everyone headed over to Oneils for the reception! A cute space, Amber and Nick decorated with greenery and tiered candles. They served their guests O'Neals' pizza (which was delicious).
During Toasts, both the Best Man & Maid of Honor expressed how their friend had found the perfect partner. It ended with Amber saying a heartfelt thank you and laying a big kiss on her new husband. He didn't seem to mind. (Nick would later say this was one of his favorite moments of the day).
Their first dance felt so intimate as they swayed together surrounded by their friends and family.
We ended the night with some intimate portraits at Pirrotta Park right behind the venue.
Please enjoy Amber & Nick's wedding day.

Prestwick Golf Course Wedding Photography | Chase & Danae | Woodbury Wedding Photographer

A Minnesota celebration with Chase & Danae at Prestwick Golf Course!

Spring has sprung here in Minnesota and the trees are starting to be covered in green once more! This day was initially planned to take place last October, after this bride and groom’s Mexico ceremony with Danae’s side of the family. Like many others, due to covid, everything had a little shake up. Their Minnesota Reception ended up coming first in the new plans of events!
Chase’s mom Anita planned this so all Chase’s family and friends could enjoy celebrating their marriage at Prestwick Golf Course in Woodbury, MN. Chase & Danae had a brief ceremony so both sets of parents could enjoy this time together. Everyone on the day of was just happy to be together celebrating these two. It made the day much more fun to be a part of when everyone is ready to party!
Danae looked dynamite in her wedding dress she chose for the MN Celebration. And Chase looked amazingly dapper in his three piece brown suit. They complimented each other well in spirit and joy for their day.
One of my favorite moments of the day came during the toasts. Chase’s dad was his best man; Jeff’s speech was funny and well thought out. He said one line in English and the same line repeated in Spanish for Danae’s side of the family to be able to fully enjoy the speech. In the middle of his speech the whole room agreed - “Covid Sucks.”
They finished the night greeting friends and family and partying it up on the dance floor.
Please enjoy some of their wedding photos from their Minnesota Celebration!
