AMERICAN SWEDISH INSTITUTE

Nestled in the heart of Minneapolis, the American Swedish Institute feels like stepping into another world. With the historic castle-like architecture, grand staircases, and beautifully restored interiors, this venue blends old-world elegance with rich cultural charm. From the moment you arrive, every corner offers a sense of history, artistry, and timeless romance.

We love photographing weddings at the American Swedish Institute and have spent years exploring its many incredible spaces and Andrew is even a proud member. From portraits on the iconic mansion steps, to quiet moments in the courtyard gardens, this venue offers endless opportunities for stunning images. The architecture and natural light create a setting that feels both regal and intimate and is any photographers dream come true.

Whether you're celebrating inside the historic mansion or hosting your reception in the modern Nelson Cultural Center, the American Swedish Institute offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop for your wedding day.
