Kevin and Jenn’s Summer Nuptials

City: Minneapolis, MN Venue: ,

This lovely couple met on New Year’s Eve at a casual get-together that Kevin’s roommate was hosting. Right away there was a spark between these two. They talked for most of the night and went out on their first date just a few days later.

While on vacation in Florida, Jenn got a wonderful surprise when Kevin proposed on the beach at sunrise. They had talked about the possibility of marriage, but she had no clue that it would be happening on the trip. The couple would later get something that would surprise them both. A guest at the resort happened to photograph the special moment and somehow Jenn’s father, who jokes often about “working” for the FBI, got a hold of the picture. What happy luck!

Their luck certainly held for their wedding day. The Minneapolis Event Center was the perfect spot near Saint Anthony Main. The beautiful views of the mighty Mississippi River and the Minneapolis skyline were spectacular and everyone enjoyed the unique surroundings. The weather was warm, the sun was shining, and love was in the air for the happy couple and their guests.

Congratulations Jenn and Kevin!

Jessica and Mo’s Engagement Pics

City: Minneapolis, MN Venue:

Jessica and Mo met on an online dating site and have been together for about two years. Right away they shared their love of traveling. He gave her a promise ring as they sat on a gondola under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. What a romantic moment!

The proposal was just as special. While on a weekend trip to her grandparents’ lake house, Jessica got a fantastic surprise when Mo asked for her hand while their families watched. It was such a wonderful way to officially start their lives together.

The sun was shining on this gorgeous day for their engagement session. There were many great moments along Saint Anthony Main and you can plainly see the love these two people share.

Congratulations on your engagement and I am looking forward to the wedding!

Andy and Stacey’s Engagement Pics

It’s always an honor and sometimes a bit nerve racking to shoot for other artists. Andy is a photographer and Stacey is a graphic designer, so they each have their set styles and know what they like. Andy and Stacey made the shoot effortless with their easy going personalities and playful interactions— both traits that will serve them well in marriage.

Andy proposed the day they moved into their first apartment together. He had planned to do it early in the day but Stacey forgot to mention she had dance rehearsal that evening and errands to run, leaving Andy to nervously fiddle with the ring in his pocket all day. He finally had to sit her down on the coffee table— the only piece of furniture they had at the time. When he had her full attention he popped some champagne and then popped the question.

Jon and Lisa’s Rainy Day Engagement

Rainy Day Engagement Photos Minneapolis, MN - Bryan Jonathan Weddings

A little rain didn’t hold Jon and Lisa back from having a fantastic engagement session. With her irresistible smile and his great attitude we ventured out knowing that storms loomed just west of Minneapolis. We hurried along St. Anthony Main from location to location until the sky could no longer hold back the rain. It started as a light sprinkle and when it was all over several inches of rain had fallen in the metro and dozens of lightning strikes were reported. In the end, a few umbrellas and a positive outlook are all that is needed to have a bit of fun while taking advantage of all that nature has to offer.

St Anthony Main Engagement Photography

City: Minneapolis, MN Venue:

Dustin and Kate are truly a stunning couple and joy to be around and photograph. Our stroll along St Anthony Main followed by a sunset horse drawn carriage ride was the perfect way to spend a summer evening in Minneapolis. The river-front architecture and vibrant colors along Main Street make the ideal location for an engagement shoot. Looking ahead, I’m excited for their upcoming wedding next spring at Greysalon Ballroom- one of the classiest venues in Duluth.
