Silverwood Park is a rare piece of wild nature inside the Twin Cities, and it such a lovely place to show guests the beauty of a Minnesota wedding, particularly in summer. I’ve loved documenting weddings at Silverwood Park. Elegant weddings are showcased on the formal patio space and use of modern interior. More casual weddings will benefit from the intimate feel and easy access to nature.
I had the chance to capture Emily and Chris’s Silverwood Park wedding during a quintessential MN summer evening – sunlight filtering through leaves and a subtle warm breeze on a patio. A few mosquitoes to let you know you are still alive, and long long shadows late into the evening.

Why plan a wedding at Silverwood Park?
Silverwood Park is a gem of the Three Rivers Park district in the outskirts of the Twin Cities. It is easily accessible from St Paul and Minneapolis without leaving the Metro area, and yet it feels like stepping into a State Park miles away.
It also has a uniquely situated event space, which can accommodate over 100 guests. The outdoor patio is lovely for a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour, and the outdoor stone fireplace is a perfect backdrop for late night fire.
The reason most people choose Silverwood is the mix of casual access to nature mixed with easy modern space. The woods surround the back stone patio, making an intimate space in the middle of the park. A short walk down to the lake provides gorgeous backdrops for photos. From ample parking to ADA compliant infrastructure, Silverwood makes planning a wedding easy on your guests.
ABOUT WEDDINGS AT SILVERWOOD PARK
Couples planning their wedding at Silverwood know what an amazing space it is for guests – easy to get to because its in the city, but also feels like it is wild park space with huge trees and lake access.
Those are exactly the things I love to incorporate into the photos there – Emily and Chris had a perfect summer day for their wedding and were able to use the outdoor patio for their ceremony. Cocktail hour inside was a welcome break from the summer sun, and then back to the patio for some late night hanging in the moonlight.
We walked to the lake in the evening, and all around the wooded paths during the day.

What Couples have to say about working with me at Silverwood Park
Emily and Chris had some nice things to say about me in their google review of working with me. Thank you so much, Emily and Chris, for choosing me to document your amazing celebration, for finding each other in the first place, and for having such an excellent assortment of friends and family around you!
Becca’s gorgeously composed photos captured the feel of our wedding day and the natural beauty of our venue. Her photos are artistic without being “artsy,” and she has a knack for picking up on details and personality.
Becca was helpful, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the planning process. She offered valuable suggestions about timeline and logistics, which helped wedding-planner-less me enormously.
Finally, Becca is super fun to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, while still making sure things ran smoothly. We were in good hands!
