This past Saturday was a busy one but we had fun doing it! Jen & Sean tied the knot this past Saturday at The Basilica of Saint Mary in downtown Minneapolis with the reception following at Graves 601. We started the day with some getting ready photos at Graves 601 and then headed over to the church for the ceremony. Once again, we were working alongside the likes of Jeff Fuchs of Northern Lights Videography, who is as good as it gets when documenting weddings. After the ceremony it was off to the reception and of course Graves 601 is a great hotspot for an awesome celebration. Thanks so much Jen & Sean for choosing Graddy Photography as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. Enjoy your amazing honeymoon in Paris!
Infinity | The Wilds Wedding Photos
This past Friday Graddy Photography had the honor of covering Kyle & Alyssa's wedding. What a great time we had working with this couple. We have been looking forward to covering their wedding ever since we met with them last year. We started the day at Alyssa's parent's home (her childhood home) for some getting ready shots and then headed over to their church in Marystown, on the outskirts of Shakopee. Once again, we were paired up with Jeff from Northern Lights Video who is an amazing artist and professional in every sense of the word. We highly recommend him if you are thinking of hiring wedding videography. After the ceremony we headed over to Prior Lake for some wedding party photos and then onto The Wilds for the reception. Thanks so incredibly much for choosing Graddy Photography guys, we are so humbled! Have an amazing honeymoon!

Tammy & Rod | Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Wedding
Well why not get married on a Monday morning when you have a perfect fall day in Minnesota! That's exactly what Tami & Rodney decided to do when they tied the knot at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The weather was absolutely amazing and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chanhassen, Minnesota provided the most excellent backdrop. Tami inquired with us just about a week ago to cover their wedding...which we obliged! We are certainly glad we did. Great to meet you both and a BIG congrats! Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography as your Minneapolis wedding photographer!

Rain | Semple Mansion Wedding Photos
This past Friday Graddy Photography covered Amy & Kevin's wedding at the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis. The couple was in good spirits despite the early snowfall.....yep snow in May. The Semple Mansion provided a safe refuge from the weather and we absolutely lover shooting inside the Semple Mansion. It was great to see some familiar faces in the audience from some former wedding clients from 2007 and 2008. The setting was perfect thanks to the likes of Ashley Fox Designs providing the elegant flowers and Victorian Party Rentals showcasing their table centerpieces. All in all it was a major success and we are extremely thankful that you guys chose Graddy Photography. Have a great honeymoon in Turks & Caicos!
Skin | Twin Cities Wedding Photographer
Amy & Jeff were married this past Saturday at the Stillwater Public Library in downtown Stillwater, Minnesota. The weather seriously couldn't have been any better and Sadie's Couture Floral & Event Styling Minneapolis provided the amazing floral arrangements. Let's not forget that it was meticulously planned by media file other than Sarah Trotter of Lasting Impressions Weddings. We love working with Sarah, she always does an amazing job and is the best at what she does. After the ceremony the wedding party headed down to The Freight House for some photos and drinks. From there, the reception was held at Dellwood Hills in Dellwood. The couple did an amazing job picking out the decor for the wedding. Of course we have to give Instant Request credit for the amazing uplighting. Amy & Jeff were an absolute blast to work with and we wish you guys the very best. Well, might as well throw a plug in for Jeff's band, 3 Pill Morning. Here's a link to there new video "Skin" which will soon air on MTV. Thanks for choosing Graddy Photography!
