Como Wedding + MN History Center Reception Photos | Nazanin + Jack

By Joanna Carina

Como Park Conservatory Wedding

Nazanin + Jack were busy grad school students living out of state. I was so delighted to be chosen to work with them for their two-day Minnesota wedding celebration in the spring, and worked closely with their families to plan for their event.

The first day began with Nazanin’s preparations in the L’Etoile Room at the Saint Paul Hotel while Jack was mingling with guests for the pre-ceremony cocktail hour at the Minnesota History Center nearby. Once everyone was ready, we all headed over to the Como Park Conservatory’s for their wedding ceremony in the Sunken Garden.

Nazanin + Jack’s ceremony was so beautiful! A string quartet serenaded them before they spoke their vows, and everyone was absolutely ecstatic for the two of them. They had their receiving line in the Palm Dome afterward, and then everyone headed back to the MN History Center for their dinner and celebration.

Once Nazanin + Jack arrived at the History Center, they had an amazing dinner followed by toasts and speeches, a few fun photos, and then their cake cutting. Afterward, guests enjoyed the dessert bar while dancing and sipping cocktails. The party really ramped up once the Persian dancing began, and everyone flooded the dance floor having a ball.

Thank You!

Nazanin + Jack, thank you so much for working with me for your wedding celebration! I had so much fun working with you and your families. Be sure to watch for the second day blog of their celebration, coming soon!

Saint Paul Hotel, Church of the Assumption + Minnesota History Center Wedding Photos | Jamie + Tim

By Joanna Carina

Saint Paul Hotel Wedding Photos

Rain. Rain, rain, and more rain. Jamie + Tim’s wedding day was full of rain. Fortunately, rain on a wedding day symbolizes good luck. Also, fortunately, they had three gorgeous venues for their day. We were able to capture beautiful St Paul Hotel, Church of the Assumption, and Minnesota History Center wedding photos despite the rain!

We started the day at The Saint Paul Hotel. Following their wedding prep, we held Jamie + Tim’s first look in the grand hotel lobby. The lobby is filled with chandeliers, flowers, a sweeping staircase and gorgeous golden mirror and other accents. We were also able to photograph the wedding party in front of the stunning marble fireplace.

Church of the Assumption Wedding Ceremony

Next was Jamie + Tim’s beautiful wedding ceremony held at the Church of the Assumption in St Paul. Such a spectacular, traditional church built in the 1800s. The ceremony was complete with elegant singing, an enormous, regal pipe organ and even a trumpeter.

Minnesota History Center Wedding Reception

Lastly, Jamie + Tim’s wedding reception was held at the Minnesota History Center. The gorgeous venue was the perfect backdrop for their celebratory bash. Floor-to-ceiling windows, marble and granite, blush pink and gold accents, and even fun history aesthetics including an enormous vintage airplane and postcard decor. Cocktail hour was followed by dinner, complete with toasting full of laughter and tears of joy. Afterward, everyone danced the night away.

Jamie + Tim, you are such a picture of happiness and I wish you the best as you begin your new lives together. I am so happy for you both, and also thankful to you for hiring me as your wedding photographer on your amazing day!

If you need photography for your Saint Paul Hotel, Church of the Assumption or Minnesota History Center wedding, contact me soon! I’d love to talk more about how we could work together.

BONUS: Be sure to take a look at other museum weddings I’ve photographed, including another MN History Center wedding, a Mill City Museum wedding, a Bell Museum wedding, and also another St Paul Hotel wedding too!
