Liz & Jon | Wedding Trailer | Grand View Lodge
Liz & Jon had a wonderful wedding day at the lovely Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota.
There’s something truly magical about a wedding set in the woods of northern Minnesota, and Liz & Jon’s wedding at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa was nothing short of unforgettable. Surrounded by tall pines, shimmering lake views, and a deep sense of peace, their day was the perfect blend of rustic charm and heartfelt celebration.
The morning began with soft light streaming through the windows of the cabins at Grand View Lodge, where Liz and her bridal party prepared for the day. The atmosphere was relaxed, full of laughter, meaningful conversations, and those beautiful, quiet moments before a life-changing walk down the aisle. Liz looked absolutely radiant in her gown, her eyes lighting up every time someone mentioned how excited Jon must be to see her.
Just across the lodge property, Jon was getting ready with his groomsmen, enjoying one final moment of calm before the excitement ahead. When he opened a letter from Liz—a handwritten note filled with love, memories, and anticipation—you could see the emotion begin to well up. It was a reminder of everything the day stood for: love, commitment, and the start of something new.
Their wedding ceremony took place outdoors, nestled in the woods beneath towering trees. Guests were seated in rows of rustic benches with the warm Minnesota sun filtering through the leaves. As Liz made her way down the aisle, escorted by her father, Jon stood waiting with a full heart and eyes full of love. The moment they locked eyes, everything else seemed to melt away.
The vows they exchanged were deeply personal—filled with genuine promises, shared laughter, and meaningful nods to their journey together. Friends and family teared up as Liz and Jon sealed their vows with a kiss, beginning their marriage surrounded by the very people who had cheered them on from the start.
After the ceremony, we captured portraits around the stunning grounds of Grand View Lodge. The golden-hour light danced across the lake, the trees whispered in the wind, and Liz and Jon shared quiet, joyful moments that made for some of the most breathtaking footage of the day. Whether they were walking hand-in-hand down a wooded path or laughing together by the water’s edge, their connection was effortless and beautiful.
The reception took place inside the lodge’s elegant event space, where warm wood accents, greenery, and twinkle lights set the mood. Every table was thoughtfully decorated, every speech heartfelt and personal. Toasts from family and friends painted a picture of who Liz and Jon are as individuals—and more importantly, who they are together. There were plenty of laughs, a few joyful tears, and a constant sense of gratitude filling the room.
Their first dance was tender and romantic, a moment suspended in time as their guests looked on with admiration. Soon after, the dance floor came alive with energy and celebration. From the youngest guests to the oldest, everyone joined in the fun, dancing under a canopy of lights as the evening rolled on.
As wedding filmmakers, we always aim to capture more than just the visuals—we aim to preserve the emotion, the spirit, and the energy of the day. And with Liz and Jon, that came naturally. Every smile, every tear, every little glance—they all told a story of two people deeply in love and ready to take on the world together.
