Como Conservatory Wedding – Katie and Jason’s small wedding in St Paul

Katie and Jason were ahead of the curve – intimate wedding at Como Conservatory (in the sunken garden – the best smelling wedding venue in the world) and a reception at a restaurant in Cathedral Hill.

I’ve loved photographing wedding at Como Conservatory over the years. It has always been well suited for small wedding. And it just seems right for what post-COVID-19 celebrations might look like: it feels vibrant and fresh and provides so much fullness to your celebration.

A stunning evening and celebration for joining together two awesome people and their families.

A little bit of rain only added to the magic of Katie and Jason’s small wedding at Como Conservatory!

Thanks for having me be a part of your Como Conservatory wedding – it was a gorgeous way to gather.

Here are some of my favorite images from their wedding – it started in flowers, ended with rain, and was stunning throughout.

      The flowers in the sunken garden are changed out every few months, and it has never been anything less than spectacular and fragrant. I look at this photo and smell flowers.
