Kate & Dave: Winter Wonderland!

When we were talking to Kate and Dave about their wedding, the first thing they said was the date: January 14. We're in Minnesota and anyone who knows anything about Minnesota, knows that this is the coldest time of the year! But that didn't deter us, we got our gloves, scarves and coffee mugs ready to go! Working closely with our friends in DLG Creative Management to design their wedding, Kate and Dave were blown away by end results. The entire church was turned into a winter wonderland even though there wasn't any snow on the ground (which is extremely crazy by the way!). While the bride was getting ready, we took the guys out to shoot a few photos in the field right outside. It was the coldest day we had seen in awhile but everyone were champs! After the bride was ready, we took the bridal party down to the old grain mill/railroad area in the downtown area of the town we were in. Just as we started shooting, it started snowing! It turned out to be the best day for the couple to get married, everything was on their side.

Capturing this family come together was special for both companies and we can't thank them enough for allowing us to be apart of it. The feeling of family all around was immense and made the day that much more special for the couple.

Chuck & Becky: Downtown Wedding

We're always excited to see where our couples decide to hold their wedding and reception. It gives us so many ideas on places to photograph these lovely couples and their wedding parties. This wedding was no exception. Becky and Chuck wanted to include a little of the city life they both love but still embrace the feeling of closeness for family and friends. A rustic church was the setting for the ceremony while an open floor ballroom was chosen for their reception. These two amazing people met online and found their one and only: each other. Each individual style was apparent while combining both was flawless at the same time. A little bit of old school mixed with a touch of modern day new school.

We took Becky and Chucks bridal party photos in the Guthrie Museum in downtown Minneapolis. This spot was perfect! To add to the character of the entire day, the first snow fall of the season started happening right as we were walking into the building. The entire bridal party was  a blast to work with and we were able to capture their personalities in every photo. When it came time to photograph the bride and groom, we had the opportunity to showcase the love and affection this couple has for one another. That's something every photographer strives to capture and we got so many shots, it was hard to pick our favorites.

As the night wrapped up, we were truly thankful and happy for this couple. They were surrounded by loved ones and had a night to remember. We wish them the best of luck for the future and can't wait to photograph them again! Thank you Becky and Chuck!

Danielle & Colton: Orchid Wedding!

The very first wedding to be done by STILLCODA! Even though we specialize in music and portrait photography along with our band interviews, we couldn't help but say yes to this amazing couple! Danielle and Colton had everything planned and detailed down to the dot. With influences from Wizard of Oz, who wouldn't want to shoot this wedding?

The couple held the wedding in a small town in Wisconsin at a place called The Orchard. It's rows of apple trees, pond, willow tree and historic background, it turned out to be the perfect place for this couple. Everything from the yellow flower petals, dog down the aisle, movie theme song to a stunning bride and groom, this couldn't have been a better first STILLCODA wedding.

Here are some shots from the beautiful day!
