Well that was fun! What an amazing wedding to end the year, our last big one I should say. Steph and Court tied the knot this past Saturday at The Cathedral of St. Paul with their reception to follow at the historic James J. Hill Library in downtown St. Paul. We started the day with getting ready photos at The Saint Paul Hotel and then onto Rice Park for the couple's first glimpse. A few quick photos in front of James J. Hill Library then off to the church to get married. After the ceremony the couple rented a trolley and hit up a couple local watering holes, namely the Happy Gnome and The Bulldog in Mears Park. Finally, it was back to the reception at the library. Great speeches and toasts were given. Why one of the groomsmen took it upon himself to grab the mic and tell the entire audience that he peed his pants at an Air B & B at the bachelor party is beyond me.....good stuff. Steph and Court, you guys simply rock and loved working with you both. I really enjoyed meeting both you families as well. Thanks so much for including Graddy Photography in your wedding day plans. We wish you both the absolute best and a happy life in Chicago!

Well it's finally here.....Stephanie & Zach's wedding! We have loved working with these guys from day one and love their support for our photography! We started the day with a couple quick shot at The Saint Paul Hotel and then made it over to Rice Park for the couple's first look. From there, we did some wedding party pictures and some of just the couple. A bit of drama as Stephanie accidentally forgot her purse and someone walked off with it.....very sad and frustrating. However, the groom and a couple groomsman did a good job "interrogating" a few usual suspects and were able to recover her new Iphone at least. The real bummer was that the bride's grandmother's ring was in her purse and she was to tie that to her bouquet. We're holding out hope that all belongings will be recovered. Other than that, it was an amazing day with a great celebration at the James J. Hill Library. Thanks so much Stephanie & Zach for choosing Graddy Photography and we wish you both the very best in life and success!

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!
