Caitlin and Tyler | Chankaska Creek Ranch and Winery Wedding

Weddings

BEST DAY EVER! Caitlin and Tyler’s gorgeous wedding on the grounds of Chankaska Creek Ranch and Winery was simply a blast! Amazing to us that we get to be part of so many priceless moments for such special families, but we gratefully enjoy every minute of it! Caitlin and Tyler’s wedding day was filled with classic elegance in abundance and the richest of colors! The florals by Parties & Weddings Plus were absolutely stunning and you will definitely be able to tell we loved photographing them!

Caitlin and Tyler, we were so honored and blessed to be part of your wedding day! CONGRATULATIONS to you both! May God bless you as you begin your new life together!

We started the day with Caitlin at the Karizma Salon in Mankato, watching the artists at work!

We just LOVE that smile!

A labor of love by the groom’s mom for our sweet bride!

Time for the bride to get dressed and ready for the day!

We have to say, Parties & Weddings Plus blew us away with their perfect designs of the invitations, place cards, and programs! So beautiful!

What a beautiful moment!

One of our favorite moments of the day was during the ceremony, when the family and guests sang “How Great Thou Art!” It was such a beautiful part of the service!

Tyler’s father officiated the ceremony, which made it incredibly special!

The new Mr. and Mrs.!

Is the light in the picture the best? Definitely not, but the look on Tyler’s face just says it as he admires his new wife! Love this!

Next up was another of our absolutely favorite parts of the wedding day! Golden hour makes for some of the best wedding portraits ever, and allows our couples a few minutes of time to take it all in and enjoy their new roles of husband and wife! An added bonus, being able to take those pics in the vineyard! Stunning!
