This was literally the most picture perfect day! Claire & Bryce’s Harvester Square Wedding in St. Cloud was one I’ll always remember. They share such a beautiful relationship together, and the whole day was a dream.
The Fall Colors held on juuuuust long enough for these two to get some gorgeous outdoor photos. And it really tied the whole day together with cozy Fall vibes.
We started off getting ready separately. I switched back and forth taking photos of the groomsmen and bridesmaids, as everyone prepared to look their best for the big celebration. Claire wore the most elegant, timeless strapless white gown. And Bryce complimented her look with a dapper black suit. They looked every inch the iconic bride & groom, and I was just grinning the whole time I was editing their photos!
They opted for a first look in St. Johns Abbey. (I totally cried through their sweet moments, just watching how much they love each other!) The Fall foliage showed off big time, and I loved all the oranges and greens in these photos.
Afterwards, we took photos of the wedding party all together before everyone heading over to the ceremony, which was also at the Abbey. The ceremony was so meaningful and special, and I think every single person in the room cried. Bryce & Claire share such a palpable love.
They said “I Do” and became newlyweds while their loved ones cheered! And the new husband and wife walked out to the party bus waiting outside. We all loaded into the bus together, and drove off to Sal’s Bar and Grill. It was an old college hangout, and it was so fun to see it incorporated into their special day. All the friends hung out and got a beer, and of course we had to get a photo of the friend group at “their spot”!
The last stop of the day was for the reception! I think the venue did an amazing job of fulfilling the couple’s vision for a Harvester’s Square wedding in St. Cloud. The decor was gorgeous, and all the details really popped. From the dessert bar to the custom gold utensils… everything was set up to celebrate the bride and groom.
After the newlyweds made their big entrance (Bryce carried Claire in!), we had toasts and then snuck up onto the rooftop for sunset portraits. The skyline and golden hour light was perfection. And it was nice, quiet moment for these two lovebirds to stop and take in their big day.
It was finally their Harvester’s Square wedding day, and it couldn’t be better.
The evening ensued with a delicious dinner, tearful speeches, and epic dances. Their whole timeline flowed so smoothly, and it was just the best day. Could you ask for anything more? I don’t think so!
Claire & Bryce, thank you for choosing me to be your Minnesota wedding photographer! It was such an honor to capture your day!
