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.

Grab a snack, sip on something, because this is a long one. Mix of digital and film inspired images.

 
 
 

We had access to the top floor where we found this beautiful sky blue wall.

 
 
 
 

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.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When guests started to fill the space, we paused on the photos. Paige and Connor wanted to be fully there, not just in front of the lens. This is exactly how a wedding should feel like. Prioritizing presence over production.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One of the kids snapped this photo of me on a disposable camera — a sweaty, imperfect shot that somehow fits perfectly with my work (minus the sweat). Kids are sneakily the most intentional beings out there, even when they don’t realize the depth of what they’re doing.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In a secret shared with her dad, Paige had her mother’s wedding gown restored to fit her own silhouette. While everyone gathered into the ceremony space, Paige quickly did a dress swap, and when she stepped into it for the ceremony, generations of love seemed to weave through every stitch. Her mother’s reaction was everything we’d hoped for.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This was the moment Paige’s mom knew she was wearing her wedding dress. A perfect reaction for a special surprise.
