SKOL | Best Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Well well!  What an amazing wedding to have as our 1,000th post since January of 2012....we've been a little busy here at Graddy Photography!  So here we go!  Haley & Matt tied the knot this past Friday at the James J. Hill Library in downtown St. Paul.  This was an event packed day stretching from one side of Rice park to the other.  The reception was to take place at the Landmark Center a half block away.  Also, the girls were getting makeup done at The Saint Paul Hotel and the guys getting ready at Heimie's Haberdashery.  So from the start we had some logistics to figure out.  No one person better suited for that than the fabulous Sarah Trotter of Lasting Impressions Weddings.  Not only organizing this one to a "T", she also put together an All-Star cast of vendors namely Sadie's Couture Floral, Virtuoso Video, Instant Request, and Apres. So if Matt looks familiar to you, then you might be a Vikings fan!  #75 starting tackle from USC!  And his beautiful bride, well that's Hailey O'Brien, Miss Minnesota USA 2014!  These guys were so cool to work with and it was a pleasure to just get to know them a little better.  Thank you so much for choosing Graddy Photography as your Twin Cities wedding photographer, we are humbled and honored to have played a small role in your epic day!

This past Friday Graddy Photography captured Nikki & Travis's amazing St. Paul wedding!  The ceremony and reception took place at media file other than The Landmark Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.  We started the day with getting ready photos at The Saint Paul Hotel and then first sight in Rice Park.  From there, we headed over to Minnehaha Falls for some creative couple's shots and wedding party pictures.  After that, it was back to The Landmark Center for the ceremony and reception.  The day couldn't have gone any better planned thanks in large part to Lasting Impressions Wedding  & Event Coordination.  Also, our good friends at Virtuoso Video were on site to capture all the video of the day....always a real treat!  Thanks Nikki & Travis for choosing Graddy Photography as your St. Paul wedding photographer.....we wish you two the very best!

This past Saturday Graddy Photography kicked off our 2013 year shooting Anne & Paul's winter wedding at The Landmark Center in St. Paul.  The Landmark Center never gets old, we LOVE shooting there.  It's nice that Rice Park is right out the front door too for wedding party pictures.  Of course we took advantage of doing some night shots in Rice Park with all the holiday lights.  Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography guys, we had a great time and wish you both the best!  Have fun in Ocho Rios, Jamaica!

This past weekend Graddy Photography covered Amanda & David's wedding in St. Paul, Minnesota.  The day was once again warm but not in the mid-90's so really no complaining here.  The ceremony took place at Irvine Park in St. Paul with the reception to follow at the Landmark Center right next to Rice Park in downtown St. Paul.  It was nice to see some familiar faces of former clients, Andy & Robin!  It was also a blast to work alongside Adam of Virtuoso Video.  Virtuoso Video is my opinion is one of the very best videographers in the Twin Cities area and is a no-brainer when it comes to hiring a videographer.  Also, with Bill Hermann of Bill Hermann Entertainment being the Master of Ceremonies, it was a grand wedding all around.  Of course the wedding couple was amazing to work with and we enjoyed every minute of it!  Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography.  Have a great honeymoon!
