The day started in the venue’s light-filled bridal suite. As a Stillwater wedding photographer, I always look for natural light, and the massive arched windows here are a dream. Being a Main Street Stillwater venue, the couple was just steps away from the best photo ops in the city, making the morning feel relaxed and connected to the local scenery.

The ceremony took place inside the main gallery. With its exposed brick walls, original timber beams, and views overlooking the river, it is one of the most romantic indoor wedding ceremony sites in Minnesota.
