Semple Mansion Wedding Photos | Anna + Adam

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Semple Mansion Wedding

Anna + Adam grew up in Minnesota and eventually moved to Chicago. When they decided to get married, they knew they wanted to go back home to MN for the festivities. It made for some long-distance planning, but nothing they couldn’t handle with their families still living in the area. They planned for a winter wedding, and their Semple Mansion wedding was a gorgeous end-of-the-year festivity!

The day began with preparations at the Semple Mansion. Anna was in the gorgeous bridal suite and Adam in the elegant basement lounge. Once their prepping was complete, we photographed Anna + Adam together for their first look and portraits. Next up were wedding party and family portraits. We then headed off to Hamline Church in St Paul for the big event!

Hamline Church Wedding Ceremony

Their wedding ceremony was held at Hamline Church, a gorgeous vintage church in St Paul. It is filled with beautiful stained glass windows, stonework and lighting. Their ceremony was filled with laughter and tears of joy as they joined their lives together.

Semple Mansion Wedding Reception

After their ceremony, we all headed back to the Semple Mansion for their wedding reception. First up was the cocktail hour held on the main floor of the beautiful Semple Mansion. Guests enjoyed music and appetizers until Anna + Adam made their grand entrance. They then heralded everyone upstairs to the ballroom for dinner.

After dinner, Anna + Adam kicked off the festivities with a waltz and swing dance. After dancing with their parents, everyone flooded the dance floor and had a blast. Later in the evening, Anna + Adam were ushered away with a wild streamer popper send-off.

Thank You!

Anna + Adam, thank you so much for including me in your beautiful day as your Minneapolis wedding photographer! I am so honored to be able to work with you, and so happy for the two of you as you begin your new lives together.

If you are planning a Semple Mansion wedding, or any other mansion wedding, contact me soon! I’d love to discuss how we could work together.

Van Dusen Mansion Wedding Photos | Karen + Harrison

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Van Dusen Mansion Wedding

Karen + Harrison were new to the Twin Cities when they were planning their wedding. They toured several venues before deciding to have a Van Dusen Mansion wedding. Previously, it was a spectacular vintage home in Minneapolis. The Van Dusen Mansion was built in the late 1800’s for for a prosperous grain entrepreneur. A century later, the home was saved from demolition and turned into an event venue. Lucky for us! It was the perfect fit for Karen + Harrison’s wedding day. It was such a gorgeous backdrop for their Minneapolis wedding photography.

Van Dusen Mansion Wedding Photography

We began the day prepping for their wedding at the Van Dusen Mansion. Karen and her attendants were upstairs in the bride’s suite. Meanwhile, Harrison and his attendants were in the basement game room. We held their first look on the front lawn of the Van Dusen. Afterward, we spent time on their couple portraits. Then on to wedding party portraits and family portraits. There were so many amazing locations to use!

Their wedding ceremony was held in the back courtyard under the setting sun. Afterward, we headed to the front of the mansion for cocktail hour. We then headed into their new ballroom for dinner. After dinner and cake cutting, the party went to the carriage house for dancing the night away. Such an amazingly beautiful day!

Thank You!

Karen + Harrison, thank you so much for including me in your beautiful day! I am so happy for the two of you as you begin your new lives together. I am also extremely excited to see your beautiful Minneapolis wedding photography album!

If you are planning a Van Dusen Mansion wedding, contact me soon! I’d love to discuss how we could work together.

Cedarhurst Mansion Wedding Photos | Deb + Bryan

By Joanna Carina 1 Comment

Cedarhurst Mansion Wedding Photography

I worked with Deb + Bryan for their Cedarhurst Mansion wedding photos. The stately Cedarhurst Mansion, in Cottage Grove, was designed by Cass Gilbert, the architect who also designed the MN State Capital building. It is over one century old, and has hosted four US Presidents. It made for a perfect backdrop for Deb + Bryan to join their lives together.

After spending the day with Deb + Bryan, their infectious laughter set my cheeks were on fire! Abundant jokes and one-liners are the name of the game whenever they’re around. Their beautiful day was full of laughter, joking, love and yes, even a few tears.

Cedarhurst Mansion Wedding Ceremony

The two of them prepared for their day in various rooms of the building. They opted not to do a First Look, but to first see each other when walking down the aisle. They had their ceremony in the garden behind the building. When Deb started to tear up upon seeing Bryan, he only needed to break out in his infectious laughter and it was enough to get Deb laughing too. After the ceremony, a cocktail reception was held in the neighboring garden. Meanwhile, we took Deb + Bryan around the Cedarhurst Mansion grounds for couple portraits, as well as family and wedding party portraits.

Cedarhurst Mansion Wedding Reception

Their cocktail hour was followed by an amazing dinner and cake cutting. Looking through the photos, you will notice a small homage to the Star Wars movies. Their cake is topped by a set of bride and groom AT-ATs, complete with veil and tophat! They ended up with a night of dancing in the beautiful Cedarhurst ballroom. Deb + Bryan’s wedding day was so beautiful down to the last detail.

Thank You!

Thank you so much, Deb + Bryan, for including me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer! I loved your Cedarhurst Mansion wedding photos, as well as your fun Lebanon Hills Regional Park engagement photos. And I am so happy for you both as you begin your new lives together!
