MN Landscape Arboretum Wedding
Allison + Joseph wanted a winter wedding. They loved that time of year and felt it was perfect for them. We first met up for summer MN Landscape Arboretum engagement photos last year. Then they had their Arboretum wedding on a crisp, cold winter day just past the 2017 New Year.
Arboretum Wedding Day Preparation
First they held their wedding preparations in a few rooms in the building. The two of them held their first look in the Conservatory inside the Snyder Building. The glass room was filled with succulents, orchids and other delicate plants. Allison + Joseph were so sweet and joyous together. There may have been a few tears too!
They followed that with formal posed photos. First up were the wedding party photos. Then finally photos with family.
Arboretum Wedding Ceremony
Their wedding ceremony was held in the Fireplace Room in the Snyder Building. A charming, elegant space, it featured a fireplace as its centerpiece. Such a perfect atmosphere for a bright, sparkling, chilly winter day! After Allison + Joseph said their ‘I Do’s’, they headed straight out to cocktail hour just down the stairs to welcome their guests.
After they spent a bit of time visiting with well-wishers, we snuck out to photograph them among the light sculptures of the Bruce Munro Light Show. One word to describe it: WOW!!! Such gorgeous artwork. Mysterious, fanciful lights among the trees. It would have been easy to spend a whole night photographing there if it wasn’t such a cold day in MN!
Arboretum Wedding Reception
Once we were back in the building to warm up, we headed to Allison + Joseph’s reception at the Snyder Auditorium. The building is highlighted with gorgeous chandeliers and curved ceilings. They had such a wonderful time with dinner, toasts, and dancing! They even followed it up with a dessert bar featuring donuts, cookies and other treats.
Thank You!
Allison + Joseph, thank you so much for including me as your wedding photographer on one of the biggest events of your lives. I always love working at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and I’m so happy for the two of you, and with you every happiness in your new lives together!
