St. James Hotel Red Wing , MN :: Wedding

What an incredible way to spend a spring day celebrating with Ashley and Duncan. Last summer we had such a blast together getting to know one another at the beautiful Centennial Lakes Park in Edina where the two were engaged and had their engagement photos taken.

I was so excited to be able to see the two of them again and laugh as hard as we did together. Ashley and Duncan’s wedding day was at the beautiful, historic St. James Hotel in Red Wing, MN. They both loved the historic feel of the hotel juxtaposed with the modern atmosphere of the newly renovated Portside Room. The space had gorgeous exposed brick, wood beams and chandeliers that were highlighted throughout the day with beautiful touches from 651 Studio Floral and Linen Effects.

Ashely and her bridesmaids woke, celebrated with a mimosa and then headed onsite to the River Blu Salon for hair and make up. Upon returning, Ashley got into her stunning dress purchased from Posh Bridal. Her Anne Klein shoes and the dusty rose Azazie dresses her bridesmaids wore were a perfect accent to her dress. I also love the gift that she presented to her mother. A commissioned piece of Ashley, her mother and her grandmother in their wedding dresses. After opening the gift, there was not a dry eye in the room.

Duncan and his groomsmen sported classic black tuxes from the Black Tux and Bentley Bates from Honey B Weddings kept the day moving with her incredible planning. Ashley and Duncan exchanged rings from Shane Co and Wedding Day Diamonds as Duncan’s father married the couple.

The St. James Hotel catering team provided a tasty meal for guests followed by a delicious cake from the Baker’s Table. Ambient Entertainment brought the party to the guests and had them dancing the whole night through while Jordan McKenna Films (Ashley’s cousin!) captured the entirety of the day on video.

It was an incredible day to celebrate a beautiful couple. Thank you for allowing me the honor of capturing your beautiful day!
