This summer we had the opportunity to explore a bit of the North Shore of Lake Superior when we photographed the wedding of Ross and Jenna in Lutsen Minnesota. Above is a photo we captured near Lake Superior at Temperance River State Park before the wedding ceremony during the reveal. The reveal took place during the brightest time of the day and the sky was clear and blue so we choose shaded areas to photograph the couple.
Following the reveal we moved closer to the Lake. We brought out our strobes in order to light Ross and Jenna in the bright sun light. We also photographed the wedding party and all the family photos near the lake. Following photos we traveled into Lutsen to Summit Chalet for the wedding ceremony and the reception. The wedding party stayed at the Eagle Ridge at Lutsen Resort we stayed at Caribou Highlands just down the street.
At Lutsen all guests of the wedding enjoyed a gondola ride to the top of the mountain. Pictured above is Ross and Jenna in a gondola. Top the mountain we enjoyed the scenic outlooks while waiting for the guests to be seated for the wedding ceremony.
The outdoor ceremony took place on the sun deck over looking Lake Superior. The ceremony sun deck at Summit Chalet is pictured above.
Following the ceremony everyone joined Jenna and Ross inside the Chalet for the wedding reception. The Chalet is the perfect backdrop for a mountain top wedding reception complete with a stone fireplace.
Jenna and Ross enjoyed their first dance in-front of the water wall at the Chalet. Following the dances our 10 hour wedding photography day coverage was complete and we took the ride down the mountain in a gondola ourselves. We enjoyed our day in Lutsen and we look forward to returning again. If you are looking for a North Shore Duluth or Lutsen wedding photographer please contact us a www.phodot.com
