What started as a date at the Minnesota Fair Grounds became the beginning of a beautiful marriage between couple Kendra and Dave. We had the pleasure of photographing the moments leading up to their vows and got to capture the couple’s first look before the ceremony. Then it was off to their Earle Brown Center wedding for a reception worth remembering!

Earle Brown Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center is just north of Minneapolis and right next to Centennial and Veterans Park. It’s ideally located for local and out-of-state guests and it’s beautiful! Previously a working farm from the 1800s, the grounds are now a manicured venue location with rustic barn-style facilities. It’s just the right spot for couples looking for a pastoral feel with the convenience of the city.

This is by far one of my favorite shots of a mom seeing a bride! You can just feel the happiness!

We love First Looks – look at the emotion on these faces!

It was too windy to take bridal portraits outside so snagged some luminescent shots of the beautiful bride in front of this stunning stained glass.

Kendra was so excited that she never stopped smiling all night!

A bonus to an Earle Brown Center wedding – lovely grounds as part of the restored farmstead!

Thanks for strolling through this lovely wedding with us! If you’d to see more of the Earle Brown Heritage Center, check out Megan and Arthur’s wedding and Kerstin and John’s big day!
