Minneapolis Depot and Basilica Wedding Photos | Lindsey + Bernie

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Minneapolis Depot and Basilica Wedding

I originally met Bernie over a year prior when I photographed his best friend Tim’s wedding (Tim and Jamie were married in May 2016). So of course I was elated when Lindsey + Bernie decided to work with me for their Minneapolis wedding photography too. They were planning an amazing Basilica wedding and Depot wedding reception, and I was so excited!

Our first step was to start with their Father Hennepin Bluff Park and Stone Arch Bridge engagement photography. They loved the area for its combination of classic Minneapolis beauty and touch of nature.

Minneapolis Depot Wedding

The day of their wedding began at The Depot at the Minneapolis Renaissance Hotel. Once their prep work was complete, the two of them held a private moment to read cards they had written to each other and finally have their first look in a quiet corner of The Depot. Afterward, we headed into the lobby of The Depot for more couple photos and spending time together thinking about what was to come. We then headed off to the Stone Arch Bridge for some time photographing the entire wedding party together, both on the Stone Arch as well as in the St Anthony Main area.

Basilica of St Mary Wedding

We continued on to the Basilica of St Mary for their family photos and a few others before their amazing wedding ceremony took place. Such a grand and beautiful location! And finally, we headed back to the Depot for cocktail hour, dinner, toasts and dancing the night away.

Thank You!

Lindsey + Bernie, thank you so much for including me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer on one of the most important days of your lives. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you, and am so happy for you both as you begin your new lives together!

Take a look at some of my other Basilica of St Mary wedding photos too!

St Anthony Main + Stone Arch Bridge Engagement Photos | Chantel + Quinn

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Stone Arch Bridge Engagement Session

Chantel + Quinn are natives of the Twin Cities area. They grew up here, met here, and fell in love here. But they moved to Kansas City recently for job opportunities. They still wanted to hold their wedding here in the Cities too, and chose to work with me as their Minneapolis wedding photographer too. I’m so glad they did, they are so much fun!

St Anthony Main Engagement Session

Chantel + Quinn wanted to take advantage of a St Anthony Main and Stone Arch Bridge engagement photography session. Because the Minneapolis area is their “homeland”, they decided to have their prewedding photography taken at the quintessential Stone Arch Bridge and St Anthony Main area. We had to plan their session in advance for a weekend they could make the return five hour drive. Low and behold, the weather on their session date in May was absolutely perfect. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and the flowers were in full bloom. It was an ideal spring day!

Father Hennepin Park Engagement Session

We started their engagement photography session among the gorgeous flowering trees of Father Hennepin Bluff Park. We then wandered up and down St Anthony Main, lingering among the architecture of the vintage mills and buildings. They made such a stunning, vintage-urban backdrop. We eventually worked our way back down St Anthony Main, through Father Hennepin Bluffs Park, and out to the Stone Arch Bridge for a sunset view. Chantel + Quinn really wanted those city views from the Bridge, and they were not disappointed. From the city views, to the flowering trees, to the vintage buildings, to the sunset over the river, everything looked so perfect. And the two of them were happy as could be – joy and laughter abound!

Thank You!

Chantel + Quinn, thank you so much for choosing to work with me for your beautiful Stone Arch Bridge engagement photography. I loved your prewedding photography, and I am so excited for your big day!’
