Anna + Brent | Wedding Trailer

Anna & Brent had a lovely wedding! The wedding was at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

There are beautiful weddings — and then there are weddings that feel genuinely, unmistakably heartfelt; that are so damn memorable that I’ll remember the colors and the moments and the faces until I’m old and gray; weddings that are packed to the brim with personality. Anna and Brent’s wedding combined the two, with a few adorable touches that reflected their personalities and their love story, all from the unique and beautiful Chanhassen Dinner Theatres in Chanhassen, Minnesota. There was love, there was laughter, and there was a connection that just lights up every room.

From the second we arrived, we knew it was going to be a great day. Anna & Brent have that magnetic energy — fun-loving, down-to-earth and head over heels in love. They were so bubbly and happiness radiated from them, the /energy/ was just so warm and exciting. They came to witness not just a wedding but the joining together of two amazing humans who make each better because of the other.

The Chanhassen Dinner Theatres was the perfect setting for a wedding that was as understated as it was colorful. With its theatrical charm, warm ambiance and great character, the venue provided the perfect quirky and intimate spaces reflecting Anna and Brent in every detail. With soft lighting, a dramatic stage presence, warm, welcoming atmosphere that made every moment feel like a love story out of a fairy tale — and this was the best one yet.

Anna was getting ready for the day with her bridesmaids in the morning, lots of laughter, music and excited chat. She was beautiful — she had a beautiful gown, a gorgeous smile and her spirit came through everything in the wedding. And as for Brent, he and his groomsmen had a pre-party of their own, and it was also full of energy, jokes, and that feeling only deep friendship and shared excitement can create.

The service was a tender and emotional sharing of vows. With their family and friends gathered around them Anna and Brent vowed to love, honour and cherish each other the rest of their days. Their vows were sweet, personal and beautifully conveyed — just like them as a couple — and just like the life they are creating together!!! When they shared their first kiss as newlyweds, the room exploded into applause, with some attendees crying tears of joy — proof of just how beloved and well-supported this couple is.

The reception had just as much excitement, and emotion, once the ceremony was complete. With a little of that Chanhassen Dinner Theatres magic and ingenuity, the venue was magically converted into a chic and glitzy affair, with lots of twinkle lights, some incredible custom decor, and real emotional touches. Each element of the reception felt like an offshoot of Anna and Brent — fun, festive and rich with meaning.

The toasts and speeches were so powerful. Family and friends told stories about the couple’s journey — from how they met to how they have bolstered each other throughout life’s vicissitudes. Each and every toast was filled with so much emotion, laughter, and an abundance of admiration for the love that Anna and Brent have for one another. You caught the depth of their bond in every look, every shared smile and every exuberant hug.

The dance floor began to fill up as the night continued. The room buzzed with joy, music and movement, from the newlyweds’ first dance to the late-night party. From Grandparents to grandbabies, everyone made their way to the dance floor and celebrated Anna and Brent and their new life together.

As wedding filmmakers, we always want to not only film what a wedding looks like — but what it feels like. And this day? It felt magical. Anna and Brent’s love is SO real, so easy and so so motivating. Their wedding was the embodiment of that love and we were so privileged to document it in its entirety.

Anna and Brent — thank you for letting us share your day. We hope you all have a lifetime of happiness, creativity, adventure and never-ending love.
