On May 31st, Corinne and Paul prepared for their wedding day in the beautiful bride and groom suites on the 2nd floor of the Crow River Winery. Corinne and her girls shared one final “cheers” before stepping into their beautiful hunter green and black bridesmaids’ dresses. Corinne’s dress was absolutely stunning – the perfect combination of elegance, romance, and glam.

In the groom’s suite, a sweet moment was shared between Paul and his jr. groomsman. In front of the big window overlooking the venue, Paul helped his little bud put on his tie. Afterwards, Paul and his guys bonded over an impromptu pocket square folding lesson while adding the final touches to their menswear.

One of the amazing, unique touches to their wedding day was the wedding party’s transportation to the church. They arrived at the ceremony in a decked-out trailer – which resulted in glamorous images with an NFL-game-time-arrival vibe.

The ceremony décor at Faith Lutheran Church was absolutely gorgeous and highlighted the vintage beauty of the church. Delicate candles lined the pews, along with beautiful tulle and flowers to match the bouquets.

Corinne and Paul chose to experience their first look while walking down the aisle. Paul’s reaction to seeing his bride made everyone there to witness their union tear up. It was such an honor to capture this special moment of two people so clearly in love.

After family photos at the church, it was party time! The wedding party traveled back to Crow River Winery in the trailer and made their grand entrance into cocktail hour shortly after. Corinne’s maid of honor shared a beautiful speech to kick off the night. The best man followed shortly after with a humorous toast to the newlyweds.

After a delicious stuffed-chicken dinner from Chef Craig's Catering, the first dances began. Corinne and Paul’s first dance was a beautiful start to the party. Following their first dance was Paul and his mom, Corinne and her dad, and Corinne and her mom – which was such a special touch.

The DJ team, Midwest sound, did an amazing job of getting people on the dance floor. The party was alive and roaring while I snuck the newlyweds away for some farewell photos. Corinne and Paul were radiating newlywed bliss all night long.
