Paikka + Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church Wedding Photos | Chantel + Quinn

Paikka Wedding Photos

Chantel + Quinn are natives of the Twin Cities area. They happened to be living in Kansas City while they were planning their wedding back here in Minnesota. I was so excited to be hired as their Minneapolis wedding photographer too. The wedding ceremony was planned for Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church. This is a beautiful, historical building looking out over the lake and greenery of the parks. They planned their reception for Paikka, a new event venue at the Vandalia Tower complex in St Paul. I also happen to have my photo studio there! Their out-of-town planning made for some challenges, but they were still able to visit Minneapolis quite a bit for coordinating.

Wedding Ceremony

The day started with Chantel prepping with her bridesmaids at the Doubletree by Hilton, while Quinn was with his groomsmen at Paikka. Once their preparations were complete, we all headed over to Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church for their first look and couple portraits, as well as wedding party and family portraits in front of the church. Their wedding ceremony was a beautiful event, even full of some surprise laughs.

Wedding Reception

After their wedding ceremony, the wedding party headed over to Como Park in St Paul for a few more wedding party portraits as well as a quick cocktail hour in a private room at Como Dockside. Meanwhile, the wedding guests were having fun at their own cocktail hour at Paikka in St Paul.

Afterward, Chantel, Quinn and the wedding party headed back to Paikka. Dinner, toasts and cake were enjoyed by all. The group partied it up and danced until the end of the night.

Thank You!

Chantel + Quinn, thank you so much for choosing to work with me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. I am so happy for you two as you begin your new lives together. I also cannot wait to see your gorgeous wedding album when it arrives from Italy!

Minneapolis Wedding Photography Album | Katie + Brett

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Luxury Wedding Photo Album

I’m excited to share my latest wedding photography album with you today! Katie + Brett were married on a warmish January day (well, warm for MN!) They held their wedding prep at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown St Paul. Their wedding was at St Stephen’s Catholic Church in Anoka. The reception followed at the Landmark Center in St Paul. You can see images from their day in my recent blog post.

Graphistudio Wedding Photo Album

After the wedding, Katie + Brett knew they wanted a gorgeous, custom Graphistudio wedding photography album. These are handmade in Italy. Together, we designed a wedding photography album that perfectly reflected their beautiful day. Their wedding featured an elegant, winter black/white/silver theme. Starting with their album box, they chose the refined black Touch material on the outside. Inside was a metallic silver linen. I recreated the lace pattern from their wedding invitation on the box cover. The artwork and names were printed with a silver foil. The box was finished with a black satin ribbon.

The album cover features brushed silver metal overprinted with a beautiful photo of Katie + Brett in the Landmark Center. The album is bound with black Italian leather. The pages are printed on professional photo paper and bound into a patented lay-flat binding system. The pages are finished with a satin laminate to protect against oils and fingerprints.

Thank You!

Katie + Brett’s album was so perfect for them, and they were thrilled with it! It is such a wonderful heirloom for them to share with family and friends. They can enjoy it time and again over the years. Congratulations, Katie + Brett. It was such an honor and joy to work with you. I wish you the best in your lives together!

Como Conservatory + Nicollet Island Inn Wedding Photos | Tara + Steve

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

St Paul Wedding Photography

Tara + Steve wanted a small, intimate wedding. Celebrating with their closest family and friends was their ideal. They planned a Como Conservatory wedding. Their mid-winter event was filled with laughter and tears of joy.

Nicollet Island Inn Wedding Photos

We started their Minneapolis wedding photography at the Nicollet Island Inn. The L’toile Suite was a gorgeous backdrop for their preparations. Once they were ready to go, we held their First Look in the hotel lobby. They were framed by the vintage doorways, stonework, and spectacular crystal chandalier.

Como Conservatory Wedding Photography

Next, we headed over to the Como Conservatory. This is a personal favorite venue of mine. My husband and I were married here too! As usual, the Conservatory was stunning with its winter floral display. Tara + Steve’s ceremony was full of love and tears of joy! Afterward we captured a few posed groupings. Then we had some time to photograph the two of them in the gorgeous Conservatory. I always love photographing here. It is simply breathtaking!

Nicollet Island Inn Reception

After Tara + Steve’s ceremony, we headed back to Nicollet Island Inn for their reception. They started with their cake-cutting, then champaign toast and cocktail hour. They capped the evening with a private dinner in the fireplace room. Their closest family and friends were celebrating with them. Such a spectacular, intimate wedding day!

Thank You!

Tara + Steve, thank you so much for including me on your beautiful Como Conservatory wedding day. I am so happy for the two of you as you begin your new lives together!

Be sure to take a look at some of my Como Conservatory fall wedding photos and my Como Conservatory summer wedding photos too!

Landmark Center Wedding Photos | Katie + Brett

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Landmark Center Wedding Photography

Katie + Brett had a bit of a challenge planning their wedding. While they both called the Minneapolis area home, they also recently moved away for jobs and school – not even together but in separate states! Luckily they weren’t too far away, so we were still able to meet and decide to work together for their beautiful Minneapolis wedding photography, as well as have an amazing time during their engagement session at Como Park Conservatory last year. After a lot of driving and remote planning, their beautiful Landmark Center wedding day in January was finally here!

Beginning of the Day

We began their big day by getting ready at the Intercontinental Hotel on the St Paul riverfront. Such an amazing, modern, chic hotel! Once the two of them were ready to go, we headed over to the Landmark Center for Katie + Brett’s first look. We were up on the fourth floor in the spectacular Chief Justice Room. Such an amazing moment, I was even tearing up too. Afterward, we had fun taking portraits of the two of them together throughout the Landmark Center’s beautiful architecture.

Portraits and Ceremony

After Katie + Brett’s portraits, we photographed their wedding party images and family portraits at the Landmark Center. We then headed up to St Stephen’s Catholic Church in Anoka for their wedding ceremony – they were so joyful! After a few large group portraits following their ceremony, we headed back down to the Landmark Center for their reception.

Landmark Center Wedding Reception

The Landmark Center was sparkling and glowing for Katie + Brett’s reception. They started with a cocktail hour, then followed with their grand entrance, dinner and toasts – so many laughs and tears! Finally, the dance floor was jumping with their DJ and dance party. Everyone had so much fun!

Thank You!

Katie + Brett, thank you so much for including me in your big day and your Landmark Center wedding photos. I am so honored to have worked with you, and I wish you the happiest life together!

Meet Joanna Carina of Carina Photographics

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Minneapolis Photographer Joanna Carina

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer Joanna Carina of Carina Photographics

Today I put together a little Q&A session with me, Joanna Carina, the founder and lead photographer of Carina Photographics. Hope you enjoy!

About Joanna

I spend a lot of time during my days at home with my kids, aged 5 and 3, as well as my hubby, who also works at home as a freelance product designer, illustrator and fine artist. Spending time with my kids is priceless. I started my photography business about 5 years ago, and opened up my photo studio in St Paul about two years ago. It’s great meeting and working with clients there, too.

Hobbies and Activities

I LOVE traveling. I’ve been all over the US and the world, although I have not yet completed my Bucket List! Camping, hiking and being in nature are important to me. The US National Parks are a big favorite. I cannot wait to take the kids when they get a bit older. Also reading and learning new things is a big love of mine, especially taking photo classes and learning new techniques.

Fun Fact About Joanna Carina

Before my husband and I got married, we took ballroom dance classes so we could really dance it up to the jazz band we had for our day. We loved it so much that we kept up on our lessons for many years afterward. We even performed for crowds! The last name “Carina” was adopted by us when we got married. It was based on the name of a constellation.

How Long I Have Been Photographing

I’ve been fascinated by photography as long as I can remember. When I was growing up, I taped photos of beautiful landscape photography on my bedroom walls. In middle school I joined the Photography Club. There I was in a closet under the back stairs along with eight other students learning how to roll film and use a photo enlarger. By the time I got to the College of Visual Arts in St Paul, I filled my schedule with as many photography courses as possible. I have always maintained a professional camera setup. My primary interest in the early years was travel and landscape photography. Then later I moved to portraiture and weddings. I also art directed commercial photoshoots while working for several years as a graphic designer in a marketing firm.

Why I Got Into Wedding Photography

Once we had our daughter in 2011, I decided to leave my graphic design job to stay home with her. Soon afterward, I decided to pursue my love of photography. I found myself photographing a couple of friends’ weddings early on, and I was hooked! Seeing a couple’s love and happiness, being included with one of the most important days in their lives, and giving them such joy at visually reliving their day afterward has been so rewarding and amazing to see. And getting to meet such wonderful people, as well as their families and friends, is awesome!

My Favorite Part of the Wedding Day

The first look and couple’s portrait session are wedding highlights for me. My couples always start out preparing separately, and they are often sooooo nervous during that time. Then, when they finally get to that moment and see each other, the reactions I see are priceless! Laughter, happiness, relief, tears, hugs. Such honest, warm, genuine moments, I often can’t help but tear up myself. Then, as we spend our time during their portraits, I see them calm down, relax and look so happy and in love. It’s so amazing to witness them spend that time alone together. By the time we are done with that portion of the day, they are so relieved and happy to head out to the ceremony.

Advice for Couples Planning Their Wedding

First, I would say to make sure to surround yourself with competent professionals. There are so many amazing wedding vendors out there, from wedding planners to caterers to florists to bands. They can all help you take the stress out of one of the biggest days of your life. Next, I would say, from a photographer’s perspective, please give serious consideration to having your wedding day remembered with a high-quality wedding album. From showing your friends and family today, to showing your kids and others in years to come, to enjoying it over your married lives, there is nothing that is so treasured, timeless and secure as having a wedding album as a perfect keepsake of your day.

Also, be sure to check my other recent blog post showing the Top 10 Things to Look for In a Wedding Photographer to give more info on that aspect.

Thank You!

Thanks for reading about me, Joanna Carina! Contact me soon so we can grab a coffee or glass of wine sometime and learn more about working together!

Como Park Indian Wedding Photos | Madina + Omkar

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Minneapolis Indian Wedding Photography

Today is part four in my blog series about Madina + Omkar’s spectacular Indian wedding celebration. Take a look at their Muslim wedding photography, Indian wedding photography and St Paul Hotel wedding reception photography!

Como Park Indian Wedding Photography

Madina + Omkar did not have enough time during their Indian wedding celebration for us to capture their couple portraits. They were originally hoping to sneak some time in between other activities. Unfortunately, it was just not possible. We decided to have one more portrait session of them together in their stunning Indian wedding attire.

Minneapolis Indian Wedding Photography

Both Madina + Omkar were adorned in magnificent, custom-designed garments. The garments were made with materials from six different countries, and produced in India. Madina + Omkar were so happy and relaxed during our session. So happy after their wedding festivities and being newly married. They still had so much to do. Madina was moving in with Omkar, and they were planning their Hawaiian-Californian honeymoon. They were excited to be able to capture their portraits together in a more relaxed session.

Como Park was perfect that day. The sky had a bit of cloud cover to create dramatic lighting. We spent time near the beautiful waterfall, fountain, bridge, and trees. We had so much fun creating beautiful images of them together.

Thank You!

Madina + Omkar, I want to thank you so much for including me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer in your magnificent Indian wedding celebration. I am so honored to have met you and your families, and for having witnessed the love shared by all of you. I am so grateful to be included in your beautiful wedding ceremonies, and happy for the two of you as you begin your new lives together. Best wishes for every happiness in life!

Minneapolis Indian Wedding Photography

Today is part three of my blog series on Madina + Omkar’s spectacular Minneapolis Indian wedding photography celebration. Make sure to take a look at the other blogs posts. Part one features their Muslim wedding ceremony. And part two shows their Hindu wedding ceremony.

Saint Paul Hotel Wedding Photography

Madina + Omkar held their Indian wedding reception at the St Paul Hotel. Madina prepped in the L’Etoile Suite and Omkar in another room of the beautiful hotel. Omkar wore a sharp black and white tux, while Madina wore a magnificent custom gown with lace and crystals throughout.

Once the two of them were ready, we took them across the street to Rice Park for their first look and portraits, followed by group photos. Then we were able to head back to the St Paul Hotel for their gorgeous reception. And really, the word “gorgeous” is such an understatement. It was truly a jaw-dropping, opulent event!

Saint Paul Hotel Wedding Reception

Madina + Omkar’s reception was held in the St Paul Hotel ballroom. Walking into the room, I think my eyes popped right out of my head! The center of the room featured their stunning, gold-adorned, six-tiered wedding cake. The tables were set so elegantly with custom menu cards, gold chargers, and floral centerpieces. The lighting featured ornate gobos on the ceiling as well as a custom gobo with their names and monogram. They included six different color changes throughout the evening. And the pinnacle of the room was the custom-built pergola over Madina + Omkar’s sweetheart table. It was draped in gold fabric and topped with live flowers. Inside was a gorgeous crystal chandalier. Simply spectacular!

After dinner, Madina + Omkar received numerous toasts, love and blessings from their guests. The two of them gave thanks for everyones’ support and love through the years. So many tears of joy! The toasts were followed by Madina + Omkar’s first dance, then their parent dances as well as an anniversary dance. Then they were able to dance the night away.

Thank You!

Such a fun day with Madina + Omkar as their Minneapolis Indian wedding photographer! Stay tuned to my next blog post which features their beautiful Como Park wedding portraits.

Landmark Center Wedding Photos | Chris + Antonio

By Joanna Carina 2 Comments

Landmark Center Wedding Photography

Chris + Antonio wanted to pull out all the stops for their wedding day. It had to be gorgeous. It had to be epic. And in every way, it was all that and more! They held their big day at the Landmark Center in St Paul, MN. The Landmark Center is really one of the most spectacular wedding venues in Minnesota. The grand columns, five-story glass-covered courtyard, marble and carved mahogany make for such a stunning wedding venue. And Chris + Antonio wanted their Landmark Center wedding photos dressed up further with beautiful draping, candles, flowers, gold tablecloths, chair covers – you name it!

Landmark Center Wedding Preparation

We began their day with preparations in separate rooms of the building. Once Chris + Antonio were ready, we headed over to the rustic Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary for their first look. This hidden gem of a location is a perfect combination of natural beauty, rustic stone and railroad bridges. Chris + Antonio loved that it mirrored the same ambiance as their Mill Ruins Park engagement photos last year.

Chris + Antonio’s first look was pretty much as epic as their entire wedding day. There were tears, hugs and kisses. Their joy was so radiant! Every person present could feel their love and happiness. Afterward, we headed back to Rice Park as well and the James J Hill Center to photograph them with their families and friends.

Landmark Center Wedding Ceremony

Then it was on to the big ceremony. The Landmark Center was spectacular in decor and detail. The cheers from the audience once they were married were thunderous! Next up were cocktails, an amazing dinner and finally toasts. Again, the love between them, as well as from their family and friends, was simply glowing. The fun was followed by an amazing dance party – the floor never stopped being filled to capacity!

Thank You!

Chris + Antonio, I am so happy for the two of you as you join your lives together. Thank you so much for hiring me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. I wish you every happiness in life, and congratulations on your big day!

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

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

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 wedding photos, Church of the Assumption wedding photos, 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. It was fun to see my former couple Safiyyah + Rory. I met Jaime as Safiyya’s maid of honor at their Aria wedding last year!

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 Minneapolis wedding photographer on your amazing wedding day!

Trellis Wedding Stillwater Photos | Vicki + Xo

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Trellis Wedding Stillwater MN Photos

The first time I walked into Trellis Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies, in Stillwater MN, I was in awe. I was meeting Vicki + Xo for their final walkthrough meeting before their wedding day. A stone trail through the mossy woods opened into a gorgeous garden filled with trees, shrubs, plants, benches, fountains, statues and more. Everything was so picturesque, it definitely didn’t feel as though we were in Minnesota anymore. I was even more excited to capture Vicki + Xo’s Trellis Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies Photos!

Trellis Wedding Ceremony

The two of them prepared in separate rooms of the adorable cottage at Trellis Weddings. Their first look was held under the shade of the trees. They were so excited, they just beamed when they saw each other. Then we wandered around the beautiful Trellis gardens photographing the two of them. We then moved on to bridal party and family portraits until it was time to prepare for their ceremony.

Vicki + Xo’s ceremony was held under the beautiful white tent on the Trellis grounds. The highlights included vows they wrote to their three children. Several guests needed their tissues! The kids were so happy – they were full of laughs, hugs and tears of joy as well.

St Croix Riverboat Wedding Reception

Afterward, a trolly carried the entire wedding party over to the St Croix Boat Co. Their reception was held on the Majestic Star. Following dinner and toasts, the group danced the night away as the boat sailed the St Croix during a gorgeous June evening. A spectacular sunset was the perfect cap to the night.

Vicki + Xo, I am so happy for you as you begin your new lives joined as a beautiful family. I am so honored you chose to work with me as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. I wish you a beautiful life full of laughter and love.
