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 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!
