Paddle | Calhoun Beach Club Wedding Photos

This past Friday Graddy Photography covered Katie & Luke's wedding at the Calhoun Beach Club in Minneapolis.  I was received with a warm welcome from their family and friends.  Some quick dress shots then it was time for their first sight.  What better place to do that than the grand staircase.  The day went amazing and we are loving all the great details that went along with this nautical themed wedding.  Seems fitting because both the bride & groom practically live on Lake Minnetonka every summer.  Thanks for including Graddy Photography and we are thankful to have played a part in your big day!

Peacock | Landmark Center Wedding Pictures

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!
