Beginning | Chaska Curling Center Wedding Photos
This year is off to a running start and what better way to spend it than with these guys. Maria and Nick tied the knot this past Saturday at St. Mark's Catholic Church in Shakopee with their reception to follow at the amazing Chaska Curling Center. This new venue is pretty unreal, glad so "south of the river" has a hot new venue. The wedding went amazing and it was so nice to be welcomed by the families. I actually first met Maria and her family four years ago while doing their family pictures. Funny how things work out sometimes! Thank you so very much for choosing Graddy Photography as your Minneapolis wedding photographer. It was a true pleasure to work wit you both! Congrats and wishing you two the very best!

Livin' | Guthrie Theater Wedding Photos!
This past Saturday the Guthrie got turned upside down with this bunch! Karen and Chad tied the knot on the 9th floor of the Guthrie Theater in the Gold Room in downtown Minneapolis. The ceremony was performed by the bride's brother and then again at dinner because they forgot to exchange rings during the actual ceremony....ha! Karen and Chad currently reside in San Francisco but flew home to get married. In tow with them from California was a fantastic group of friends and family that were ready for a celebration! I have to say I have shot a lot of weddings in my day, but this one was pretty unreal! From the bride's brother singing "Livin' on a Prayer" to the afterwards dance party! Thanks so much for including Graddy Photography in your wedding day plans. Have a safe honeymoon traveling southeast Asia!
