As the snow is flying again today it's nice to reflect back to warmer days. Dan and Danielle's wedding day took place on a beautiful Minnesota day. For their wedding we traveled to Alexandria Minnesota to Carlos Creek Winery. The Carlos Creek Winery is a gorgeous location for an outdoor wedding.
Danielle choose a collection of flower in various purple and lavender hues for her bouquet. The hardy flowers looked fresh from morning to night and they complimented the natural setting in which the wedding ceremony took place.
Dan and Danielle chose to see each other before their ceremony. We found a quiet shaded spot for their private reveal. Following the reveal we moved on to photograph all the wedding party and family photos before the ceremony.
The bridal party hid inside as guests took their seats in the ceremony location. Above Danielle's father and her son wait with Danielle to make their walk down the aisle to meet Dan. Below the guest's take their seats in the naturally shaded ceremony location at the Carlos Creek Winery.
Following the ceremony guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres during sunset outside on the patio. After Dan and Danielle greeted their guests we slipped away with Dan and Danielle for a few photos. Carlos Creek Winery has multiple locations that offer endless opportunities for fun wedding photos. We walked across the road to photograph Dan and Danielle among the endless rows of vines. The sunset provided a fantastic background.
As guests enjoyed the outdoor patio as the final touches in the reception hall took place. When ready the staff escorted the guests into the reception area for dinner. Dan and Danielle waited outside taking a moment for themselves before entering.
The reception hall was spacious and allowed guests to mingle easily with one another. The open dance floor allowed everyone to view the first dance from their seats as they enjoyed their cupcake desert. The light of the lanterns provided a soft glow that kept the room warm.
