The Minnesota History center is the headquarters of the Minnesota History Society and houses a museum, library, and event space next to Capitol Hill in St Paul. Its a gorgeous place to celebrate with guests, and one of my favorite places to photograph. Why choose the History Center for your wedding Right next to downtown St Paul, with parking and views of the skyline, the interior of the History Center is still the main reason people choose it for their wedding.

This real wedding at Camrose Hill in Stillwater features the very best this venue has to offer I will say it, though it is obvious, that a main reason to choose Camrose Hill for your wedding is the flowers. This flower farm and wedding venue is designed by a florist, and so the floral artistry is strong, but so is the placement of the ceremony spaces, the decorating of the reception tent, and the inclusion of greenery everywhere. These two brought a little something special to the entire celebration – overwhelming joy throughout. Nothing pairs better with sunlight coming through…

Theodore Wirth Regional Park is a gorgeous, wild, and large part of the Minneapolis park system. The 1920’s clubhouse Chalet (now called the Eddie Manderville Chalet) is a gorgeous space for old Minneapolis charm surrounded by established forest and rolling hills. It stands out in the park system, but is also stands out in greater Minneapolis for the charm, privacy, and features of this wedding venue.
Katherine and Will’s wedding at Ashery Lane Farm in MN was a perfect summer celebration for these two well traveled and happy individuals! After meeting in Minneapolis, they have since moved to the West Coast, and their wedding brought people from many part of their lived together.
This small but mighty wedding started at the Hewing, headed to City Hall for a wedding, then celebrated at Khaluna for a tour of the best of Minneapolis. But first, an existential digression: Anyone else get all existential in the past few years? Like, how do all these systems around us work, and what is our role in them? Humanity is complicated and often ugly, so where do we find the value, and the meaning, and the beauty in all this muck? That’s where I’ve been spending some intellectual time with myself in these past few years of pandemic and…
A MN Camp Wedding to kick off a year of gratitude What do I say about a wedding that happened in the before times? Before the shut downs, and the emergence of smaller weddings, and a focus on flexibility in events? About all I have to say is thank you. I feel extreme gratitude for all the learning and growth and survival of this past year, and also grateful for so many amazing celebrations that buoyed me through. We can continue to celebrate like this – in the woods, on the lake, with laughter and fire and water, This celebration…
