Midland Hills Country Club Wedding Photos | Wing + Mark

Midland Hills Country Club Wedding Photos

Midland Hills Country Club, founded during the Roaring Twenties by University of Minnesota professors and local leaders, is a historic and visually stunning venue that adds timeless character to any Midland Hills Country Club wedding. Designed by renowned golf course architect Seth Raynor, the rolling hills and undulating greens were thoughtfully shaped using a topographical map created by a University of Minnesota professor. Following a meticulous 2020 restoration led by architect Jim Urbina, the course once again reflects classic golf course architecture, enhancing the natural beauty, elegance, and sense of history that make Midland Hills Country Club an exceptional and unforgettable wedding setting.

Saint Columba Church Wedding

Wing + Mark started their big day with prep time at Midland Hills. Once they were ready, we held their first look outside the main entrance of the historic building. Afterward, we worked on wedding party photos as well as group photos. Then it was on to St Columba Church in Saint Paul for the big event!

Once Wing + Mark tied the knot, they held a Lion Dance outside the church to celebrate! Next, a group of us jumped into the shuttle and we had time to travel around the Cities to some favorite spots to capture a few more photos, including MN Loons United stadium and Como Lake for a jaunt in a duck boat! After that we headed back to Midland Hills for the big party.

Wing + Mark had the gorgeous Midland Hills ballroom dressed to the nines. Along with their grand entrance, cocktail hour and toasts, Mark was surprised with a choreographed flash mob dance and they both held their traditional table visits dressed in Korean finery. We had time to run outside to the golf course for some beautiful sunset portraits before they danced and partied the night away.

Thank You!

Wing + Mark, thank you so much for working with me as your wedding photographer! I had so much fun working with you both, and I’m so happy for you as you begin your new lives together.

Steeple Center + Troy Burne Golf Club Wedding Photos | Emily + Ryan

By Joanna Carina

Steeple Center Wedding Photography

I worked with Emily + Ryan for their beautiful summer wedding photography. They held their wedding ceremony at the Steeple Center in Rosemount MN. It was a beautiful venue, and even more special since one of their uncles was able to officiate too! After their beautiful ceremony, we headed out for a quick stop in Hudson Wisconsin, right at the St Croix riverfront, for wedding party photos. After a quick stop for a toast at a riverfront bar, we headed off to the reception!

Troy Burne Wedding Reception Photography

Emily + Ryan’s wedding reception started off with a fun cocktail hour, then followed with dinner and dancing. Once the first dances had taken place, Emily + Ryan snuck away for sunset photos on the Troy Burne Golf Club grounds in a golf cart! We had sunset photos as well as photos by the creekside and in the woods. The Golf Club staff even brought them a bottle of champagne to enjoy while we were having fun in the woods! We had so much fun, and then they headed back off to the reception to dance the night away.

Thank You!

Emily + Ryan, thank you so much for working with me for your wedding photography! It was so fun working with you on your wedding day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Bearpath Golf Club Wedding Photography | Rachel + Andrew

By Joanna Carina

Bearpath Golf Club Wedding Photography

Rachel + Andrew live near Rochester MN, so they looked for a location that would be convenient for family and friends from both the Twin Cities as well as Southern Minnesota. They settled on Bearpath Golf & Country Club. I had never photographed a wedding there before, but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was!

Their day arrived with perfect autumn weather. The prepped at the golf club, then held their first look outside in the beautiful grounds. Andrew was a puddle of tears when he first saw Rachel – they were so adorable! Once we finished, we moved on to photos of the two of them alone, as well as their wedding party and families. Then it was on to the wedding ceremony.

Bearpath Country Club Reception Photography

Once their ceremony (complete with tree planting to signify their love of nature) was complete, we headed inside to their reception. Everything was amazing, from the tasty dinner, to the ice sculpture that honored their dogs. After their hilarious shoe game, they danced the night away with family and friends!

Thank You!

TPC Twin Cities Wedding Photos | Sara + Dan

By Joanna Carina

TPC Twin Cities Wedding Photography

Sara + Dan held their wedding on a cool autumn day at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine MN. The weather was perfect, the trees were still holding on to their fall colors, and the bright blue sky was nearly cloudless. Since the two of them have a love of nature, as well as state and national parks, they used that theme during their big day. Their TPC Twin Cities Wedding fit them so perfectly!

TPC Twin Cities First Look

Once Sara + Dan had finished their preparations in the TPC Twin Cities clubhouse locker rooms, we held their first look amongst the trees behind the clubhouse. They were so sweet and so happy together – and did a great job keeping their tears to a minimum! We were then able to head out onto the golf course for more portraits, and even take some golf carts out into the stands of beautiful autumn trees. Afterward, we headed back for portraits with family and friends.

TPC Twin Cities Wedding Day

Sara + Dan’s wedding ceremony was held on the front lawn of TPC, in front of the beautiful autumn birch trees. Their friends and family were so happy for them, and there were countless tears of joy! Next up was their fun cocktail hour and dinner, toasts and cake-cutting during sunset. The TPC ballroom was beautifully set with their state park theme, complete with pine tree seedling gifts for their guests. Later, they celebrated with dancing as well as a fire pit right outside the dining area – a perfect ending to their beautiful day!

Sara + Dan, thank you so much for working with me on your amazing wedding day. I am so honored you chose to work with me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer, and I am so happy for the two of you as you begin your new lives together!

Columbia Manor Wedding Photography | Stacy + Alex

By Joanna Carina

Columbia Manor Wedding Photography

We met in a dark, South Minneapolis wine bar on a bitter, snowy January evening. Stacy, Alex and I spent a long time chatting and laughing up a storm. Naturally I was ecstatic when they called shortly afterward and told me they wanted to hire me as their wedding photographer. I was so excited to work with them on their Columbia Manor wedding day!

Minneapolis Wedding Photography

From Alex’s easy-going joke-cracking down to their relaxed and open planning, we all had so much fun. Their wedding was on a perfect fall day at Columbia Manor in Minneapolis. They were so easy and fun – other than Stacy’s uncooperative sash, of course!

Stacy and Alex, thank you so much for including me as your wedding photographer in your Columbia Manor wedding photos. I am so honored to have been a part of one of the biggest days of your lives, and I wish you every happiness on your journey together!

Olympic Hills Golf Club Wedding Photography | Amanda + Dan

By Joanna Carina

Olympic Hills Golf Club Wedding Photography

Amanda + Dan hired me to create their Olympic Hills Golf Club wedding photos in Eden Prairie MN. The day couldn’t have had more perfect weather. The Golf Club held their outdoor ceremony in front of a small pond near the clubhouse surrounded by amazing gardens, trees and scenery. We were also able to take some time to travel over to the nearby Staring Lake Park to take some of the bridal party photos there too. Such a fun day!

Thank You!

Thank you so much, Amanda + Dan, for working with me as your wedding photographer. I also loved working with you as your engagement photographer. I wish you a long and happy life together!
