Thad and Barusca were married this past Thursday at the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis. They had a small, intimate ceremony alongside close friends. Our good friend Leslie was the wedding officiant, which works out nicely because she office's out of the Semple Mansion. After the ceremony the newly married couple and friends made it out to the Loring Park area to celebrate at Cafe Lurcat, one of our personal fav's. Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography as your Minneapolis wedding photographer!
Homecoming | Semple Mansion Wedding Photos
This past Saturday Graddy Photography captured Krysta and David's wedding at the Semple Mansion in downtown Minneapolis. It has been three whole years since I shot at the Semple Mansion but I felt right at home once I walked through the doors. I have shot this venue a ton of times in my 12 year career but this is one of the coolest lit one's I have seen in recent years. Krysta and David currently live in Denver but wanted to have their family back home close to friends and family. But they will soon be moving back this January. Thanks so much for having us document your wedding day.....it was so great getting to know you both and of course we wish you the absolute best!

Heroes | Nicollet Island Pavilion Wedding Photos
This past weekend was an amazing wedding day for Jennifer and Jared. The weather was sunny and creeping into the 70's, not bad for mid March in Minnesota. Their wedding was to be a "winter wedding" but mother nature planned otherwise. It was a real honor and pleasure to work with these guys. There has been tons of planning and preparation leading up to this and it all paid off! They have been planning this wedding from Oahu so I'm sure it hasn't been easy. Jessica Wonders Events was flawless in their execution and was a pleasure to work with. Just want to say thank you for Jennifer and Jared's service. These two Army veterans have 10 deployments between the two of them and needless to say, they have done so much for our great country. Jennifer and Jared, we wish you the very best and wish you many happy years to come! God Bless!
