Paige & Connor’s Timeless Minneapolis Wedding at the Paris Dining Club

Paige and Connor’s wedding was the perfect mix of luxury and ease. Their day started at a cozy Airbnb where Paige got ready; surrounded by friends and family, then later spending the rest of the day at the Paris Dining Club in Minneapolis — laughter, music, and hugs paired with quiet little moments set the tone for everything that came.

This is what modern wedding luxury can look like: a visceral, presence-driven experience where the couple enjoys every second and loves every photo. Paige and Connor’s wedding proves that editorial, documentary photography isn’t just about the candid, it’s about creating space to live inside every moment.

We had access to the top floor where there was this beautiful light blue wall that complimented Paige’s skin tone.

We met Connor at PDC for their first look, and from that moment on, the entire celebration unfolded exactly as intended; unhurried and beautifully real. Instead of rushing from photo to photo, they embraced the experience. We wandered the venue, captured stolen glances, and let the day breathe.

As a San Diego photographer who captures intimacy for a living, I’m constantly reminded that love shows up in countless forms and this session was proof that sometimes, the most meaningful photos feel less like posing and more like presence.
