I’m not from Minneapolis, but I’ve lived here long enough to love it and want it showcased at its best. I think that is something that I definitely have in common with Tom and Margaux.
Regardless, they couldn’t have chosen better locations for their guests to experience Minneapolis. Their wedding at Lady of Lordes church (the oldest church in the city) overlooked the downtown and Mississippi river on a the perfect early fall day.
We stopped by Nye’s Polonaise (a classic Minneapolis piano bar) for a drink and some vintage gold booths before heading over for a reception at a classic Theater.
My own wedding ring is also an Art deco inspired filigree number, though maybe not as striking and Margaux’s

The oldest church in Minneapolis, still warm and bright!

A little bit of dramatic lighting to bring out the detail and intimacy of Lady of Lordes church
With such a gorgeous afternoon, we opted to take family portraits outside

This flash composite of 5 images stitched together is the only way to combat the harsh sun on the bridge, and it also brings a cinematic quality to this wedding party portrait.
Margeaux and Tom at Nye’s Polonaise room in Minneapolis. Nyes is still preserved sometime around 1976, but is closing down in a few months, ending a long reign of piano bars, cheap rail drinks, and gold booths. Margeaux and Tom marked the end of their un-married lives together, and then joined in the history of this awesome and quirky place while stopping in for a drink.
A drink in a place that hadn’t changed in years
Gathered around the piano bar, this image could have been from 1980 or last year
First dance giggles
Live bands get guests to move so much! I’ve always enjoyed the vibe that the R Factor brings to wedding receptions.
