Wedding Date: September 10th 2022

We love being part of Grandview Lodge weddings, so when we’re invited to capture two in a row it feels like we won the lottery! Our Team Photographer, Tasha, was excited to be part of Christel and Chad’s wedding on a beautiful Minnesota day that just begged to be enjoyed at the lake, so Grandview was the perfect fit! She joined Christel and Chad right before they met one another during their first look in front of the cute chapel that they would be married inside in the coming hours. It was a moment right out of a fairytale. Heartfelt and loving, surrounded by the beautiful greenery and flowers of the property, they were like royalty. You can tell how much they adore each other simply in the way they look at one another, but then you hear them speak and you can tell they’re both completely head over heels in love. Seeing these two and feeling their joy was such a treat!

After taking in the scenery and spending some time near the lake, they made their way back to the cute chapel where their day began. Their guests and children were waiting inside for them as the music started. They exchanged vows and kissed under a classic arch of greenery and white flowers which reinforce the fairytale atmosphere. The loving couple seemed to float down the aisle where their children were waiting for them to celebrate. Thank you all for inviting us to share in your love story!
