Some wedding days feel like pure magic from start to finish — and Kristen and Jared’s wedding was exactly that. On a beautiful summer day in Minnesota, their love story unfolded across two incredible venues: the elegant Calvary Church in Roseville and the breathtaking Nicollet Island Pavilion in Minneapolis.
From the moment we arrived, the excitement and warmth from everyone involved made it clear this was going to be a joyful celebration. Kristen was surrounded by her closest friends and family as she got ready — laughter echoed in the bridal suite, soft music played in the background, and every detail, from her dress to her delicate floral accessories, was simply stunning. She radiated a calm, graceful energy, and her smile lit up the room.
Meanwhile, Jared and his groomsmen were prepping for the big day nearby, sharing inside jokes and adjusting boutonnieres with nervous excitement. Jared looked every bit the part — sharp, confident, and completely ready to marry the love of his life.
The ceremony at Calvary Church was heartfelt and deeply meaningful. The space was filled with natural light and warmth, providing the perfect backdrop for Kristen and Jared’s vows. As Kristen walked down the aisle, Jared’s expression said it all. There’s a kind of emotion you can’t fake — and in that moment, everyone present could feel the depth of their connection.
They exchanged rings and promises in front of their loved ones, and the moment they were pronounced husband and wife, the room erupted in applause. The joy on their faces as they walked hand-in-hand down the aisle was unforgettable.
After the ceremony, we captured a series of wedding portraits in nearby scenic spots, taking advantage of the golden summer light. Kristen and Jared were effortlessly natural in front of the camera, sharing quiet moments, laughter, and genuine affection that translated beautifully into every frame. These weren’t just photos — they were little snapshots of love.
Then it was off to the Nicollet Island Pavilion in Minneapolis for the reception, and what a celebration it was! The Pavilion, located on the banks of the Mississippi River, offered sweeping views of the skyline and an atmosphere that was both romantic and lively. Inside, the space was decorated with elegant florals, soft candlelight, and thoughtful personal touches that made the entire evening feel uniquely them.
The reception was filled with energy and heart — from tearful toasts to infectious laughter, and of course, a packed dance floor. Kristen and Jared shared their first dance surrounded by twinkling lights and the applause of friends and family, creating one of the many unforgettable moments of the evening. Later, guests joined in for an evening full of dancing, celebration, and connection.
What stood out most about Kristen and Jared’s wedding was the genuine warmth between them — the little glances, the unspoken understanding, the comfort in each other’s presence. It was clear that this wasn’t just a beautiful wedding — it was the beginning of a truly beautiful marriage.
