Aria + Nazareth Chapel Wedding Photos | Taylor + Jordan

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Aria Wedding Photography

Taylor + Jordan hustled us outside the back door. “They should be here any minute!” We all ran through the kitchen and out onto the busy Minneapolis street. There they were! Their two sweet lovable doggies had been driven to Aria for a couple of quick photos of the four of them together. Being with their dogs on their wedding day was so important to them. How could we not photograph such cuteness???

Aria Mpls Wedding Day

Taylor + Jordan’s wedding day was so spectacular! We began at Loew’s Minneapolis, in two suites high above the downtown streets. After they were ready, and had both opened their gifts to each other, we headed over for first look and Aria wedding photos. So many tears of joy! After we spent time with them for their first look, we worked on individual and couple portraits. Those took place both in the Aria lobby as well as outside the building. Soon the rest of the wedding party arrived and we were able to capture their group portraits both in and around Aria.

Nazareth Chapel Wedding Ceremony

We then headed up to the Nazareth Chapel at Northwestern University in Arden Hills. What a gorgeous wedding venue! The vintage chapel with ornate columns, light fixtures and windows gave such dramatic lighting and photos.

After their ceremony, Taylor + Jordan headed over to Betty Danger’s Country Club in NE Minneapolis for a quick spin on the ferris wheel and a relaxing cocktail with their wedding party. Meanwhile, the guests ventured over to Aria to begin their cocktail party, and waited for Taylor + Jordan to arrive shortly afterward.

Aria Wedding Reception

For their reception, the Aria dining room was as spectacular as ever. The head table was gorgeously decorated with draping greenery, florals, and candles. The rest of the tables were draped in blush pink linens, candles, silver and flowers. Such a spectacular sight!

Following dinner, toasts and cake cutting were enjoyed. Then the after party of dancing, drinks and photo booths were enjoyed by all.

Thank You!

Taylor and Jordan, thank you so much for including me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer on one of the most important events of your lives. I wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy together!

If you are planning an Aria Mpls wedding, contact me soon! I’d love to discuss how we could work together.

ETA: Don’t forget to take a look at Taylor + Jordan’s engagement session at Mears Park in downtown St Paul, right across the street from where they used to live! Their sweet doggies were there too!

Aria Minneapolis Wedding Photos | Kim + Lucas

By Joanna Carina 1 Comment

Aria Minneapolis Wedding Photography

Our 2016 wedding photography season kicked off with a bang for Kim + Lucas’ big day. Read on to see their beautiful Aria Minneapolis wedding photos!

Kim + Lucas were married on a cool, dry March day. We felt to be pretty lucky that we were not inundated with snow at the time. The day started off with the happy couple preparing in the separate Aria dressing rooms. Once they were ready to go, their first look occurred near the back of Aria. The look on Lucas’ face was priceless. He had the best mix of smiles and tears! Next we worked on their couple portraits, and then included their bridal party and families. We followed up with a little more portrait time in the Aria lounges.

Aria Minneapolis Wedding Ceremony

Kim + Lucas’ Aria ceremony was held as a “wedding-in-the-round”. This was a really cool configuration in which Kim + Lucas were in the center, and the guests were seated around them in a huge circle. The bonus was that being at Aria, we could get up to the catwalk to see the circle from above. It was so amazing!

After the ceremony, The Tangiers next door hosted a quick celebratory drink for the wedding party. We then headed back to greet guests during Aria’s lobby cocktail hour. Once the main room was set for dinner, guests were treated to a gorgeous display. Candles, glass, silver and wood filled the beautiful Aria dining room. Dinner was followed by toasts, and then dancing and photo booth fun!

Thank You!

Kim + Lucas, I am so honored you chose to work with me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. Aria Minneapolis is such an amazing place for weddings. I also loved working with you for your Stone Arch Bridge + Father Hennepin Park engagement photos. Best wishes for every happiness in your new life together!

Aria Minneapolis Wedding Photos | Safiyyah + Rory

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Aria Minneapolis Wedding Photography

“You are my beloved, and you are my friend.” Tears welled up across the room as Safiyyah + Rory exchanged vows on a beautiful spring day during their Aria Minneapolis wedding photos. And I was so honored to be present to photograph their amazing day down to the very last detail.

I first got to meet Safiyyah + Rory over hot chocolate on a cold February night in Minneapolis. They are two of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people you will ever meet. I could spend hours talking with them and wonder where the time went! We had a blast during their Minneapolis engagement session last summer. Eden Prairie’s Round Lake Park is a beautiful hidden gem filled with fields, woods, flowers, a lake and plenty of picturesque spots.

Aria Mpls Wedding Photos

Working together on one of the biggest days of their lives was the icing on the cake. Aria is truly amazing. Safiyyah + Rory were very excited to spend plenty of time making sure to capture gorgeous portraits throughout the magnificent art and architecture of the building. From the old spiral staircase, to the elegant upstairs lounges. From the hidden alcoves, to the front lobby filled with spectacular crystal chandeliers. Every facet of Aria is a photographer’s dream. And the two of them were happy to spend as much time as possible creating amazing imagery to commemorate their big day!

Thank You!

Safiyyah + Rory, I am so incredibly happy for you both as you join your lives together. Thank you so much for hiring me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. I’m so lucky to have gotten to know you and spend time with you on your gorgeous Aria Minneapolis wedding photos. So excited to keep in touch and see you guys again in the future!
