Mark and Michelle’s Winter Wedding Celebration

City: Brooklyn Center, MN Venue:

Winter wedding at Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center near Minneapolis, MN.

When Mark and Michelle met three years ago, their connection couldn’t be denied. Instant attraction drew them together, and the bond between them has grown every day. It is so wonderful to see a couple who enjoys every moment together, even when they are competing, which is often the case! Whether it’s playing cards, a round of golf, or an intense video game session, these two know how to have fun.

Mark even made the proposal into a game of “find the ring”, which he hid among the branches of the Christmas tree for Michelle to find. When she couldn’t locate the new ‘ornament’, he helped her seek it out, and was thrilled when she said “Yes”!

That excitement was palpable, and completely contagious, on their winter wedding day. Michelle and Mark were so happy to be in love, and to finally be able to tie the knot. Their vibrant celebration was fun and relaxed, and that energy was shared with all of their friends and family.

I felt truly honored to be a part of this special event, and wish a lifetime of crazy love to Mark and Michelle. Cheers to the happy couple!

Jon and Courtney’s Wedding

The Earle Brown Heritage Center is the perfect place to get hitched within the borders of the metro while feeling like you are miles from the hustle and bustle of life. I suspect that is why Jon and Courtney selected it for their big day. The center has a courtyard with a charming fountain that is surrounded by historic barns and mature trees. It was in this courtyard where the wind littered the sky with tree pedals as Jon quietly waited for the First Look with his Princess. It was a moment that could have been written for a childhood fairytale expect that you can’t make this stuff up. In the end the same wind also brought rains that forced the outdoor ceremony inside. Moments before Courtney walked down the aisle the ugly weather had one last performance for us. As the doors opened and guests stood, the skies lit up with fury while thunder shook the ballroom, as if Mother Nature herself was announcing the entrance of the bride. If a rainy wedding day is good luck then Jon and Courtney will have more than enough to spare.
