A work romance and five years in the making brought us the Greysolon Ballroom where Scott and Caitlyn pledge themselves to each other in front of family and friends. It was an authentic and wondrous day. Congrats and here’s to the next five and then fifty years.

On the banks of the Onion River, just north of Tofte is one of Nick and Gina’s favorite hikes. The rest stop was also a construction project that he worked on, so it’s a bit of a “nostalgic” location. Last year Nick wanted to recreate an old photo, and that got Gina’s attention. Something suspicious was afoot. Sure enough, Nick popped the question and forever cemented the small town of Tofte and the North Shore as one of their favorite places.

Moments later Roy fell into the river after being spooked by a waterbug.
Nick proposed just upstream from this very spot.

For more than a century, lovers have sat on the Tofte Dock.
Roymaraner was not interested in posing his paw for photos.
Shortly afterward Nick and Gina enjoyed a romantic date at the Bluefin Grille.
Nick is a rebar project manager for commercial construction, so obviously, we needed an image with rebar and Gina’s engagement ring.
There’s nothing quite like an evening at the Historic Gleensheen Estate, it’s the perfect intimate wedding venue on the shores of Lake Superior. Before the ceremony, Cassie and Mike had their guests write their well-wishes and marriage advice on beach glass. The glass was then collected in a vase to continually remind them of all the love and support they’ve experienced along the way. It was a unique take on the traditional sand ceremony and will serve them for many years. Congratulations and remember to “Be Kind,” “Hope,” “Love,” Communicate,” and finally, “Live long and prosper!”
S’mores on Lake Superior and Tisher Creek is the perfect way to end a perfect day.

Those details were spectacular.
That moment just before you’re about to marry your best friend.

A few popup thundershowers forced the ceremony into Garden Room.
Pouring rain, power outages and rainbows made for a bumpy evening at Jason and Heather’s wedding. Fortunately, the wild weather at Grand Superior Lodge held off until the reception and added the charm of their whimsical day. The day was complete with yard games, a wet bonfire, local beer, and more hugs than your average nuptials. I am so excited for you to continue your journey together and thank you for including us.

Who wore the serious face better, the ladies or the gentlemen?
Red Chucks!
“I do”
Even HP couldn’t give a better wedding speech than SS.
Justin and I met in April of 2011. It was a situation where all the stars had to align and I’m so happy they did! He caught my eye and I couldn’t stay away. Every night that week I went to his house, he made me supper, we sat around a bonfire, I sang to him (which he still loves) we fell in love. A short while later I met his girls Karlie and Avery who were 4 and 8. It didn’t take long for them to find their way into my heart as well. After about 3-4 years myself and the girls found ourselves asking Justin, “When are you going to propose!?” We had to wait a few more years. In February of 2017 Justin and I took a small vacation up north to visit some friends in Park Rapids MN. We participated in an ice fishing contest and rode snowmobiles on some of the most beautiful trails. We made our way to the Mississippi headwaters and I thought to myself this is it, it’s so beautiful, this is where he is going to propose to me. It didn’t happen, we got done looking at the beautiful scenery we got on our snowmobiles and continued on. I came home with no ring. I’m not going to lie I was a little bummed but I thought he has a better plan! A whole year later we were planning the same vacation, our friends moved to a new house in Bemidji MN, we couldn’t pass going to see them and the beautiful up north. I thought to myself he didn’t propose last year he won’t do it this year, boy was I wrong. He had it all planned, the first night he would take me back to the headwaters and propose. Between a flat tire the first night, spending time with friends and -30° Justin couldn’t find the perfect moment. A lot of improvising happened and on our way home he suggested we stop in Little Falls because that is something my dad would do. I thought yeah that would be fun. We got out walked down a cute little path, I took our picture and said “OK it’s freezing I’m ready to go”, he said, “One last thing before we go “Will you marry me?”
