Patriot | Tee It Up For The Troops Event
This week Graddy Photography donated our photography services to Tee It Up For The Troops at Brackett's Crossing Country Club in Lakeville. We were approached to do this six months ago and of course we quickly obliged. This isn't our first time working for TIUFTT so there were some familiar faces at the event. We are thankful of our men and women in uniform and the families that support them. We are of course thankful who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography, it was a humbling experience.

Summer | Minnesota Commercial Photographer
This past week was a very busy week at Graddy Photography. For starters, we had two wonderful weddings at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota. Then a couple chill days at Grand View Lodge with the boat then it was off to work for our favorite commercial vendors. We photographed a lot of tasty food and loads of other stuff for the resort. Graddy Photography joined the marketing department of Grand View Lodge as a freelance photographer a little more than a year ago and we have been making big waves in both our respective industries, hospitality and the wedding industry. We cannot thank you all enough for your continued support and appreciation of our work and we look forward to seeing you all again here shortly in the near future. So if anybody is at Grand View Lodge this summer be sure to take a look around at the advertising, more than likely, their our shots!

Walleye | Twin Cities Food Photographer
Three hour drive for a picture of what?……ohh Tater Tot Hot dish, I guess we’ll be there ha! Yes it’s true Graddy Photography drove to our new adopted home of Nisswa to do a piece for an upcoming publication…..fingers crossed it gets some good press! Aside from photographing a few food menu items, our primary focus was a Minnesota favorite, the Tater Tot Hot dish. By the looks of this hot dish it could only come from Grand View Lodge. Grand View Lodge time and time again continues to raise the bar of eccentric homestyle cooking “northwoods style”. What a treat this was! Seriously, if you are a foodie and want a culinary adventure you have to take a trip to Grand View Lodge and try their numerous dining facilities. Thanks once again Grand View Lodge, you have once again exceeded our expectations and we’re sure you will do so for many who will soon visit!

Chimney | Arizona Commercial Photographer
This past week Graddy Photography headed down to Tanque Verde Ranch in Tucson, Arizona. What a nice two day break from the ugly Minnesota weather. The weather was sunny and 82 degrees with a nice gentle spring breeze. It was insanely beautiful seeing the Saguaro National Park in bloom......so many colors and fragrances! This was our second time to Tanque Verde Ranch and will be a trip that we will always remember. Our primary focus on this trip was to capture some of the accommodations as well as the food being served by the amazing chefs at Tanque Verde Ranch.

Cannot wait to see the food photography in print!
Retreat | Northern Minnesota Winter Resort
This past week Graddy Photography made it up to the Brainerd area of lakes for a photo shoot at Grand View Lodge. The weather was perfect, in the 20's and no wind. The night before there was a fresh snow which froze right to the trees making it perfect for photos. We covered snowmobiling, romantic sleigh rides, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, and other winter activities. Hopefully next time we will be able to do the dog-sledding. Well, it was an amazing experience as usual and we look forward to the next time we're there.
Slide | Minnesota Resort Photography
Who doesn't love a little snow tubing and snowboarding? Graddy Photography made it over to Ski Gull on Gull Lake in Nisswa, Minnesota to cover some of the activities they have to offer. Next time you make your way up to Grand View Lodge make sure to check out Ski Gull for a great time!
Sleigh | Grand View Lodge Winter Photos
This past week Graddy Photography set out to catch some winter activities at the spectacular Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota. Nisswa is located in the Brainerd area of lakes in central Minnesota. Graddy Photography was very excited at the opportunity to provide our photography services to Grand View Lodge once again. This was such an awesome experience shooting the sleigh ride. This excursion couldn't have worked out more perfectly. With rainy weather in the Twin Cities, we hurried up north to catch the last remnants of winter. To our surprise, about 15 miles south of Brainerd, the rain had turned into snow which stuck directly to all the branches making it perfect for photos. Grand View Lodge and Cru Restaurant (located at Grand View) have joined together to bring you this one of a kind winter experience!
