Kristy & Dan’s wedding day took place at Kellerman’s Event Center in White Bear Lake! It was a warm, beautiful summer day filled with joy! Before arriving at the event center, Kristy had her hair and make-up done by Laura Westrem Artistry and she looked amazing! After taking a few detail photos of her accessories, it was time to start getting ready! Kristy’s mom and maid of honored helped her into her beautiful dress from Vow’d and helped her put on her gorgeous jewelry from Olive & Piper! She then did a quick first look with her bridesmaids! When I arrived, Dan was already ready! He was so excited to marry the love of his life!

Just before their first look, Kristy did a first look with her dad! He was blown away and so proud! Then Kristy & Dan shared their first look and Dan was awestruck! We then did couple’s photos in and around the venue and a few portraits of both Kristy & Dan seperately as well! Dan looked so good in his suit from Milbern’s Clothing! Then the wedding party joined for some photos! This group was so much fun and we had a blast! Also, check out the beautiful bouquets from Style Society! A splash of color!

After immediate family photos, it was time for the ceremony! The long dramatic walk down the aisle at Kellerman’s is truly amazing! You could tell how much this moment meant to them both! After they exchanged vows and a message was given, they were declared husband and wife! They kissed and then dipped kissed! And then dip kissed again halfway down the aisle! Love it! After the ceremony, the couple greeted guests outside and the venue staff flipped the room for the reception! I had the honor of eating dinner with the couple that owns the venue and they are so kind!

The reception started with a fun grand march with the whole wedding party! They were all so creative with their entrances and the maid of honor pushed the best man into the room in a stroller! Then Kristy & Dan were announced in! Once they got to the head table, we ran around the room taking photos with each table in a classic “table race!” The toasts and well wishes were given, salads and dinner were served (amazing food from Donatelli’s), and the couple cut the beautiful cake from The Buttered Tin! Guests enjoyed Nothing Bundt Cakes (always a hit!)! The couple shared a first dance, Kristy danced with her dad, and then Dan danced with his mom! Then everyone got their boogie on and danced! We snuck outside for a few sunset photos as the sun slowly went down behind the buildings in town! And right before I left, we did a staged sparkler photo with all the guests! Such a great day!
