This lovely July wedding took place at The Wexford at Emerald Greens in Hastings, Minnesota. It was truly unique and perfectly planned out for this amazing couple! Erika & Brandon and so down to earth and just real, I love it! Erika got ready in the bridal suite at the venue along with their sweet daughter Millie! The bride wore a beautiful dress from Our Shop Bridal and the groom wore a handsome suit from Men’s Wearhouse. Shortly before the ceremony, the sky opened up and down poured for quite some time! So the couple shared their first look inside at the ceremony space and Brandon was stunned! We did some portraits inside and then included their two dogs in a few as well!

The ceremony took place inside and it was beautiful! Millie was the flower girl and did a great job! After the ceremony guests went downstairs to enjoy the golf simulators, hors d’oeuvres, and to make their own custom Lego person for the Lego guestbook!

The reception was catered by Classic Catering and was delicious! One of my favorite parts was when during the couple’s thank you speech when Erika recognized her mom for all the love she had poured into her and gave her bouquet to her. So sweet! During the reception, Twin Cities Caricatures came in and sketched fun caricatures of guests! Love this touch! Then special dances were had and we did some sunset photos! Yes, Erika went out in her sock – socks that were her Grandpa’s that she wore all day! Such an amazing day!
