minneapolis st. paul wedding by joy marie | emily + david | minnesota wedding photography

The last few months have felt like a complete blur, but I’m finally back from traveling and ready to share some incredible weddings!! First up…the VERY special Emily and David! Emily and her family are very close to my heart, and it was such an honor for me to be able to capture this very intimate event. Emily and David had an very small wedding in the Japanese gardens at Como Park & Conservatory in St. Paul, MN.  Only their close family members were in attendance. It was such a sweet, emotional and super-relaxed day. At one point, I had to really pull myself together because the sun had set over the koi pond as Emily & David recited their vows through their tears, and as any good photographer knows….low light and a shaking/sobbing photographer don’t mix. Thankfully, Emily and David wanted to do most of their photos before the ceremony so we were able to explore Minneapolis and find some incredible locations. It was an AMAZING day!! Congratulation Emily and David!!
