Landmark Center Wedding :: St. Paul, MN

Being the new kid is not always easy, but when Grant moved from the East Coast to a small town in South Dakota as a freshman in high school, he was noticed right away by all. More specifically by one soccer player, Rachel. The two hit it off right away as as good friends and then as sophomores decided to go to prom together. By their junior year, they had gone on a few dates and became inseparable. They dated throughout the rest of high school and into college. After one incredible proposal on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, the two decided that October would be the perfect time for a wedding.

The Landmark Center in St. Paul, Minnesota was the perfect location for Rachel and Grant to host their beautiful October wedding. The day was filled with laughter and tears and it was an incredible joy to photograph so many emotional moments. Rachel and her bridesmaids began the morning by getting ready at the Saint Paul Hotel where Primped did hair and make-up for all the women in their suite. Rachel‘s mom then helped her get into her beautiful dress from Brides ‘n’ Bells and shoes from Nina Bridal. She then headed outside to the beautiful hotel garden to meet Grant. It was an emotional first look for both of them, but when they saw their sweet Frenchie, Haven, they were both back to smiles and laughter! 

The wedding party then joined us for photos in Rice Park, the James J Hill Library, and in front of the Saint Paul Hotel. The women looked beautiful in their olive green dresses from David’s Bridal, while the men supported dapper grey suits from The Suit Shop. Family then joined us for more photos, and then we headed inside to get ready for their ceremony. 

Heidi from Jenna Culley Events made sure the day ran smoothly, and Jamie of Wilderland Floral created the most stunning florals for the day. Linen Effects provided the gold chairs and decor that matched Rachel’s vision for the day. Laurie Leigh Harpist provided beautiful music as Rachel walk down the aisle, and Matt Deboer, a friend of the couple, married Grant and Rachel. The two exchanged rings; Grants from Buchkosky Jewelers and Rachel’s gold band from her grandmother. As the two were pronounced husband and wife, guests cheered and the couple took a few moments to themselves. D’Amico Catering provided an incredible meal and dessert table for guests, while Mitch from Instant Request brought the party to life.

Congratulations Rachel and Grant, your day was amazing! I had so much fun getting to know the both of you and I wish you too many years of love and joy! Hope your honeymoon was incredible!
