An unexpected restaurant closure led to a wedding pivot for these two – landing their wedding celebration at Porzana restaurant in Minneapolis. And what a great landing it was! World class dinning paired with an intimate atmosphere. Porzana Restaurant for Weddings Porzana has been a staple for fine dinning since it opened in 2023. Taking over the old Bachelor Farmer restaurant space (and the hole left in great food since its closure!), the upstairs spaces have been re-designed and are lovely for intimate weddings.

If you’ve seen my post about the photos that took me the longest to process in 2014, you probably have seen the 100+ image panorama of Anne + John featured in this post. It is only a small part of their wedding day, but it was a quiet beautiful moment of just the two of them. To me, their wedding seemed to be a series of those little moments, interspersed with the chatting and dinning that must accompany a wedding. Anne + John have a way of being together, even in a crowd of others, even when they are not together, that truly…
