Victoria Minnesota wedding photographer

Above Nicole and Andy stand hand in hand just outside St. Victoria's Catholic Church in Victoria Minnesota.  Phodot Photographer Stacy Milburn captured the photo above.  The day had a bit of a fall chill, but the day was full of sunshine and blue sky.  Below Andy and Nicole each read a love note that the other has written before their reveal.  The brick pillar separated them so they could not see each other but the photographers had the ability to capture them both in the same image.     

For the reveal they traveled out back behind St. Victoria's so that Nicole and Andy could keep the moment private and their own.  Andy waited down the hill for Nicole.

Andy's reaction is amazing as he sees his bride on their wedding day for the first time.

In addition to the traditional photos of the wedding party that were taken at the altar at St. Victoria's we traveled to Excelsior for some outdoor formal and fun wedding photos near the lake.

Andy escorted Nicole's father outside for a private reveal as well.  I love Andy stayed at a distance to view the meeting.  You can see Andy in the distance in the photo below.

Nicole and her dad walk into the church on their way to meet Andy.  Below Andy waits for Nicole to join his side.

Once together Andy and Nicole relax for the ceremony and you can see the joy of the moment take them over.

The ceremony ends with a kiss and Andy and Nicole exit the church. Guests surround the couple as they leave streamers flying.

The wedding party boards the party bus and cocktails are enjoyed.  Photographer Stacy Milburn boards the bus and captures the action.  Mark travels to the reception to capture the space and decor before the guests arrive.

After a few beverages on the bus the wedding party stops at a park for a few fun photos before the wedding reception.  Photographers Mark and Stacy made sure that the day would flow and all the photos that Nicole and Andy requested would be captured by designing a photography timeline for the couple.

Andy and Nicole choose to include family and friends in their wedding party that were full of excitement and fun.

Stacy sent the wedding party back to the bus so that Nicole and Andy could have a few images of just the two of them at the lake.  Mark and Stacy like to set aside at least 45 minutes of alone time with a couple during a wedding day.  They also prefer that the time is split up so that they can capture the couple at different times and locations during the wedding day.

 After a few photos Nicole and Andy are back on the bus and on their way to the Chanhassen Event Center for their reception.  While the wedding party got ready for the grand march Nicole and Andy stayed out of site on the bus and the images below took place.

Above Nicole and Andy arrive at the Chanhassen Event Center all smiles ready for their party.  Below are a few of the details.

The wedding photography competition gets younger and younger every year.  Below Andy and Nicole share their first dance.
