    Toasts | Minneapolis Club Wedding Photos

    Earlier this month Graddy Photography covered Amara & Tom’s wedding weekend starting off with the rehearsal dinner on Friday night at The Minneapolis Club.  It was a great evening of laughter, speeches, toasts, and a little roasting by the best man.  All in good fun of course.  The following morning we were back up to Minneapolis to the Minikahda Club to cover their wedding.  Amara & Tom’s wedding can be found a few posts back….be sure to check it out!  Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography!

     

    Ice Bar | Minikahda Club Wedding Photos

    Check out this great winter wedding idea that will be a sure fire way to get your guests to enjoy themselves!  Fire up an ice bar on the outdoor patio, get a couple heat lamps, and mix up some great winter warming cocktails……sounds like a good recipe to me!

    Winter Chill | St Paul Wedding Photographer

    Well this past weekend I was in Woodbury to cover Maggie & Jeff’s wedding at St. Ambrose Church.  Coincidentally, I just shot at St. Ambrose back in June.  I had just recently met with Maggie & Jeff back in November when they booked.  Fast foreword a few short months and here we are!  The ceremony was a great service.  After the ceremony we headed over to the Bulldog in Lowertown St. Paul next to Mears Park.  After a drinks to curb the winter chill, we headed out to do some wedding party shots.  Finally, it was off to Prestwick Golf Club in Woodbury for the reception. Synergy provided the entertainment and the rest was history.  Despite the cold weather, we were able to get dome really great shots and I had fun shooting Maggie in her stunning Vera Wang dress.  We wish you guys the best and have fun in Riviera Maya!  Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography!

    Anders | Lakeville Newborn & Infant Photographer

    Meet Anders!  He was born just one week ago and these are some of his first professional photos.  Kraig & Melissa are great friends of ours and have been one of Graddy Photography’s oldest clients.  We are so grateful to be able to capture their family and their new additions.  Thanks so much guys for trusting Graddy Photography with your newborn photos.  We’ll see you again soon in the future!
