On a picture-perfect Minnesota day, Marcus & Claire celebrated their love surrounded by rolling vines, rustic charm, and the people who mean the most to them. Their wedding at Four Daughters Vineyard & Winery in Spring Valley, MN, was nothing short of magical—an elegant, relaxed, and joy-filled event that perfectly reflected their personalities and deep connection.
From the moment we arrived at the venue, we could feel the excitement in the air. Four Daughters Vineyard is one of southern Minnesota’s most scenic wedding destinations, and it set the stage beautifully for Marcus and Claire’s celebration. With rows of vineyards stretching into the distance, a stylish winery backdrop, and golden-hour light peeking through the vines, everything about this venue screamed romance.
Claire spent the morning surrounded by her closest friends and family, sharing stories, laughter, and happy tears. Her bridal suite was filled with soft music, champagne bubbles, and moments of calm anticipation. She looked breathtaking in her gown—timeless and effortlessly graceful—with every detail from her bouquet to her veil thoughtfully chosen to match her modern yet romantic style.
Meanwhile, Marcus was equally excited, preparing with his groomsmen just a short walk away. He read a handwritten note from Claire that brought a smile to his face—a few heartfelt lines that perfectly captured the love and laughter that had carried them through their relationship. His nerves were eased, and his excitement was impossible to miss.
Their ceremony took place outdoors, framed by the vineyard rows and gentle summer skies. Guests were seated with a view of the expansive greenery as Marcus and Claire met under a wooden arbor adorned with flowers. Their vows were raw, sincere, and deeply moving—a beautiful reflection of their journey together. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
As the newlyweds walked back down the aisle, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, and the celebration truly began. Cocktail hour gave guests a chance to enjoy signature drinks, vineyard views, and a relaxed, festive atmosphere while Marcus and Claire stole a few quiet moments among the vines for portraits. These candid scenes—laughing in the vineyard, holding hands as the sun dipped lower—were some of our favorite moments to film.
The reception inside the winery was warm and welcoming, with rustic wood beams, twinkling lights, and elegant décor. Long tables lined with greenery and soft florals created a cozy and intimate space for heartfelt speeches and a delicious meal. Friends and family raised glasses to toast the happy couple, sharing stories that spanned from childhood memories to the early days of Marcus and Claire’s relationship.
Their first dance was the definition of romantic—set to a song that held special meaning, danced under a canopy of lights, with every guest looking on with admiration and love.
