We loved Jessica and Adam’s Nicollet Island Pavilion wedding! Set on the beautiful Nicollet Island, it was as bright, beautiful, and cheerful as the adorable couple. These two were easily two of the most laid back and in-love people ever which made for a relaxing and beautiful wedding day 🙂

Nicollet Island Pavilion is a lovely venue set on the edge of Nicollet Island, a little getaway in the middle of the city! It’s easily accessible from anywhere in the Twin Cities, and it’s ideal locale makes it great for traveling guests or downtown adventures! This made it extra easy for Jessica and Adam to get ready in one of Minneapolis’s lovely downtown hotels before heading over to their Nicollet Island Pavilion wedding!

Enjoy!

Jessica and her Maid of Honor celebrated her big day by bed jumping! Even better – her Maid of Honor was getting married just a month later. We had the honor of photographing her wedding too! I assume we’re practically family now 🙂 It was such a great honor to document two weddings and a wonderful friendship!

Adam and Jessica’s adorable First Look just highlights yet again why first looks are our favorite! Adam melts with happiness when he sets eyes on the stunningly gorgeous Jessica. To be honest, her elegant dress, rustic cowgirl boots, and dazzling red hair would probably make anyone melt!

The couple said their vows under the pavilion looking out towards the Mississippi river and afterward, we captured a few intimate and romantic moments as the sun set behind them – a perk of a Nicollet Island Pavilion wedding!

The reception kicked off with cake and dancing with a live band and an entire guest list of people who knew how to dance and weren’t afraid to show off their moves!

Later the men went out to have the traditional smoking of the cigars – the girls wanted to join in the fun and stole the epic cigar photo spotlight!

Jessica and Adam knew how to have fun and their wedding was a perfect reflection of their love and personality! Cheers to the happy couple, and we hope you enjoyed their Nicollet Island Pavilion wedding!
