On September 4th we photographed the wedding of Cari and Erik at Grace University Lutheran Church. Grace University Lutheran Church is located next to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus.
Photography wedding day coverage started at the Commons Hotel. The wedding party and the bride and groom made use of the larger suites at the Commons to get ready. The Commons has several areas inside that provide for interesting photography options. We choose to use the Commons for the bride and groom reveal. During the reveal Cari and Erik exchanged gifts for one another. We made use of the large mirror on the second floor to capture both Cari and Erik’s reactions. Following the reveal we walked as a group to the University of Minnesota Mall for formal wedding party portraits.
From the U of M Mall we traveled to the Church for family photos and then the ceremony. Grace University Lutheran Church was a beautiful backdrop for the wedding and it was just across the street from the Commons Hotel.
Following the wedding the wedding party traveled to the Stone Arch Bridge for a few photos before moving onto the reception. The reception was held at the Minneapolis Golf Club. From the flowers to the up-lighting the Minneapolis Golf Club was full of purple and pink. DJ Aaron Eisenberg kept the party going. We enjoyed his flow of events that included beginning the dance with the father/ daughter, then the mother/son, with the first dance as the headliner going last.
