April and John’s Noerenberg Garden Wedding

City: Minnetonka, MN Venue: ,

Noerenberg Gardens and Bayview Event Center wedding on Lake Minnetonka.

April and John grew up in the same town, went to the same schools, and had some friends in common. But, it was years after graduating when they really got to know each other. It was a cold winter night when their paths crossed again, and the heat between them was instantaneous. That heat has kept them together for five years so far, with many more to come.

These two really love nature, so the Noerenberg Gardens was the perfect venue for their fall wedding. Sun-lit foliage and flowers surrounded the happy couple and their guests while they said “I Do”. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the new Mr and Mrs really had an amazing outdoor ceremony.

The reception at the Bayview Event Center was simple and fun , and everyone enjoyed the whimsical celebration. Dinner and dancing were a blast and it was great to see so much love and support for these two lovebirds. I was happy to be a part of the big day. Cheers to the happy couple!

Noerenberg Gardens, Wayzata – Engagement

City: Wayzata, MN Venue:

As the sun set over Noerenberg Gardens, overlooking Lake Minnetonka, Ryan and Alyssa marked the one year anniversary from the day the groom popped the question. Alyssa came prepared to the shoot, bringing along props for staging photos. But to our surprise, we encountered an unexpected visitor: a small toad hopped past, and posed alongside Alyssa’s engagement ring. A perfect model, he sat perfectly still while we captured a few shots. He eventually went on his way, likely relieved we didn’t eat him. Although the couple hadn’t anticipated the tiny critter’s arrival, engagement shoots can bring new surprises that lead to memorable photos.
