Mike & Brix | St. Paul Wedding Photographer

This was a picture perfect winter wedding! I loved every little detail from the gorgeous ivory flowers and pops of green color to the cozy venue at the University Club in St. Paul. And for how little time the bride had to plan, I would say this wedding was stunning in all aspects. I had never heard of GENT on Grand Ave before this wedding. The groom decided to take his grandpa there for classic grooming and male bonding. That place was amazing! I would love to be a guy just to get pampered there... okay not really, but you get my point. Here are just some of my favorite wedding day images from Mike & Brix's special day!

Shane & Lisa | Wedding Photography Lake Elmo MN

Meet Lisa and Shane... their story isn't typical, they met in Ireland and had a cold, but beautiful winter wedding in Minnesota. Lisa is a professional dancer, went Ireland to study dance and that's what brought her to find Shane... reminds me of a fairy-tale.

Here's a sneak peek of their wedding day!

The Lake Elmo Event Center was stunning! The wedding colors were green and ivory, with a hint of Christmas. The meal at the reception was so unique, - it was a buffet style, but in small portions and guest could enjoy each different 'station' as often as they liked. The salad & fruit table looked like something out right out of a greenery display!

Even Lisa's wedding ring was a gorgeous emerald!

For the evening's entertainment, they had this amazing Irish band, Broken Spoke. I'm not Irish, but their music was so refreshing and fun that I would consider them if I ever get hitched :)
