Cheryl & Billy | Wedding Day
Cheryl & Billy had a wonderful wedding day at the lovely Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 7/9/16.
Every so often a wedding comes along that is memorable not only because of the gorgeous setting and amazing details – but because of the pure love and joy that emanates from the couple. Andrey and I are honored to be briefly included in the story of their love because Cheryl and Billy’s wedding on July 9, 2016, at the beautiful Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was an example of such a celebration — a celebration that was intimate, timeless and full of purpose and heart.
There was an excitement that could be felt, ever since the start of the day. Cheryl got ready for the ceremony surrounded by her best friends and family. The laughter literally filled the air, as did the heartfelt toasts, and the kind of quiet reflection that only really comes on a day like this. She was the picture of beauty and grace in her dress, and her smile never dimmed.
With the picturesque landscape of The Minikahda Club as their backdrop, the couple’s outdoor ceremony overlooked the golf course and wooded splendor over Lake Bde Maka Ska. The Minka Club, with its traditional design, cascading gardens and historic charm was the perfect backdrop for a wedding full of class and love.
The guests stood in silence as Cheryl walked towards the aisle, all eyes locked on her. Billy’s expression, rife with wonder, emotion, and undiluted love, encapsulated the beauty of the moment. Their ceremony was a touching and intimate one, with personal vows, happy tears and symbolic traditions that were symbolic of how deep their love for each other runs.
With family and friends as witnesses, Cheryl and Billy promised each other truth, promise, and hope for many tomorrows. It was a deep and connecting joy that everyone present that day will remember for years to come.
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a beautiful cocktail hour on the club terrace toasting to the happy couple and taking in the sunset. The reception was magical. The ballroom was beautifully decorated with soft lighting, breathtaking flowers, and personalized details that reflected the couple’s style – sophisticated, classic, and warm.
The night started with sweet toasts that sent us to both laughter and tears. Relatives and friends recollected their paths to Cheryl and Billy and their profound love for each other and of the countless lives they have touched. Every word uttered was a tribute to their bond — a love story built on friendship, loyalty, joy.
This stunning pair shared a graceful, emotional wedding dance and later danced up a storm at their reception. From the tiniest to the largest of parcel people, young and old alike shared stories and had fun, memories that they would remember forever.
As wedding filmmakers, it is an honor to document days like this — where it’s not only the stunning beauty of the location but also the emotion, the relationships, and the love that characterizes people’s days. So much of Cheryl and Billy’s wedding was comprised of those moments: quiet smiles, joyful embraces, and the vast energy of two people starting their forever.
