Mill City Museum Wedding Minneapolis

I’m still playing catch up on some of the fabulous weddings from 2016.  Today I’m going to share Mike & Emily’s gorgeous Mill City Museum Wedding in Minneapolis. Mike & Emily live and love Minneapolis.  It was only fitting they had their wedding at this gorgeous industrial venue that overlooks the banks of the Mississippi River.

I was so excited when I chatted with Mike and Emily about their wedding theme.  They are both avid animal lovers and Emily is a part of the board at the MN Zoo.  They revealed to me their theme was party animals! I’m sure everyone’s first thought is some crazy party, but Lasting Impressions Wedding planners brought a whole new level of elegance to that title.

Guests were entertained by the zoo mobile during cocktail hour, and the kids had their own animal themed stir sticks for their kiddy cocktails!  The reception decor was a stunning combination of golds, navy and pinks, with all your favorite zoo animals delightfully golden!  Even the place card holders had a special animal flare to them.  It was definitely a unique and fun wedding capture!

I know the gram has been quiet but it’s been busy behind the scenes! Lots of editing going on as I wrap up my fall season with a few more sessions to go before things really slow down for Christmas. My 2026 wedding calendar is officially booked and I will now only be taking 2027 weddings and beyond! Thank you to all my clients who continue to support me 🤍
Last week I had the privilege to photograph Madeline and Aaron at Lake Superior. This week, I get to go explore Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. I will be out of the office 8/7-8/10. Soaking up these last few days of summer with my family before back to school! Can't wait for M&A's wedding next August in Duluth!

I'm back!! I spent an amazing 2 weeks in Europe visiting multiple cities! Rome, Sorrento, Positano, Capri, Venice & Paris. What an unforgettable adventure I had with my family. So many memories made and thousands of photos captured! I'm slowly working my way through my inbox and getting back into the swing of things. I'm looking forward to the second half of my season capturing your special moments!

Not sure how my baby grew up to be an adult, but here we are! She turns 18 this fall and in just 3 more sleeps, we will board a plane with her sister and dad to explore Italy & France. I'll be out of the office July 9-24th, so if you need to get a hold of me, I will get back to you when we're back state side. Make sure to follow our adventures on IG stories!
