Basilica of St. Mary Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Stacy and Steven were married last August in a stunningly classic wedding in Minneapolis.  Stacy took advantage of my complimentary flatlay service, so I was able to photograph her and Steven’s details including rings and invitation suite two weeks before their wedding, saving us lots of time on the wedding day itself!

The couple rented out Harriet Place as a getting ready location.  If you want bright, clean getting ready photos, I cannot recommend The Harriet Place enough!  It provided ample light and space for me to photograph all these candids of the couple and their wedding party getting prepped for the day.

 

Stacy and Steven did their first look right outside before heading to Loring Park for portraits.

The ceremony took place at the beautiful Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.

 

Because Stacy and Steven opted for a first look earlier, we were able to shoot all family portraits prior to the ceremony on the stairs of the Basilica.  After the ceremony, we took one photo of everyone in attendance on the stairs as the bells rung out, a Basilica wedding tradition.

 

The reception was held at Loring Social, just across the street.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT mackenzie

At home in the Midwest. Ever-focused on light, beauty and the thrill of creating art.

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in journalism, I started taking photography classes with the intention of a career in photojournalism. Instead, I started shooting portraits of family and friends and was instantly hooked! I started my business and never looked back. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me at home with my husband Paul and our three kids, Charlie, Archie and Marlowe. Our hands (and hearts) are very full but there is never a dull moment at our house.
