From the moment I walked into Harvester Square on the morning of Nic and Chloe’s wedding, there was this calm, joyful energy in the air. The kind of energy that only happens when two people are completely sure about each other. The space was buzzing with excitement as the girls got ready, music playing, mimosas in hand, and laughter echoing off the exposed brick walls. The soft tones of dusty rose, cream, and royal blue gave the whole day an effortlessly elegant feel. Chloe and Nic's union was modern, romantic, and just the right touch of glam.

Getting Ready at Harvester Square

Chloe spent the morning surrounded by her closest friends, sipping coffee and soaking in every moment. Her hair and makeup by Robak Bridal and Face by Grace were absolutely flawless. Chloe was styled with soft curls and a natural glam look that highlighted her joy perfectly. The bridesmaids wore beautiful dusty rose dresses from Kennedy Blue, and I loved capturing their close friendship to Chloe. There were so many happy tears and “oh my gosh you’re stunning!” moments.

Over on the guys’ side, Nic and his crew kept things light and fun while getting ready in sharp suits from Knights Chamber. They might have been joking around one minute and helping each other with ties the next — the perfect mix of nerves and excitement before the big moment.

The Rooftop First Look

Their first look took place on the rooftop of Harvester Square, and while the wind definitely made its presence known, it couldn’t have been more beautiful. The breeze caught Chloe’s train in the prettiest way, and Nic’s reaction when he turned around said everything. It was emotional, genuine, and such a beautiful moment to witness.

We spent time capturing portraits up there with the city skyline in the background before heading down for wedding party photos. It was such a fun, stylish group that brought all the energy and laughter.

A Romantic Ceremony in the Heart of St. Cloud

The ceremony took place inside the west side of Harvester Square, where the modern industrial setting met romantic florals from Ling’s Moments. The space glowed with warm light as Chloe walked down the aisle, and Nic’s face when he saw her again (yes, even after the first look!) melted everyone in the room. Their ceremony was heartfelt and intentional — full of emotion, happy tears, and so much love from their +100 guests dressed to the nines in cocktail attire.

Reception Details + One Unforgettable Cake Moment

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour while we captured all the reception details. The space was filled with elegant table settings, the bar sign featuring their cat (a sweet tribute that everyone adored), and the stunning cake from Allison’s Petite Pastries.

Dinner was served by Custom Catering by Short Stop, and as the evening transitioned into toasts and dances, one of my favorite moments of the night unfolded: the “joke cake” for the Mother of the Bride. Earlier in the planning process, there had been some passionate opinions about whether the wedding cake should have raspberry filling — and let’s just say, Mom didn’t get her way. So, to make it right (and have a little fun), Nic and Chloe surprised her with her very own raspberry-filled cake, presented with a dramatic announcement right before the official cake cutting. The room erupted in laughter, and the MOB handled it like an absolute champ. It was such a lighthearted, funny, and genuinely family moment that summed up the joy of the entire day.

The Perfect Ending to the Harvester Square Wedding

The evening wrapped up with dancing, hugs, and a packed dance floor thanks to Digital Encore DJ. Between the elegant details, emotional moments, and hilarious surprises, Nic and Chloe’s wedding was everything a celebration of love should be: modern, meaningful, and overflowing with joy.

It was an honor to capture every moment of this day for them. From the windswept rooftop first look to the sweetest first dances. These two radiate warmth and laughter, and their wedding was the perfect reflection of that.
