August weddings in Minneapolis have a kind of magic all their own. They are filled with long stretches of golden light, warm breezes, and that unmistakable glow that seems to wrap everything in romance. Shelby and Cole’s day was exactly that… sunny, vibrant, and effortlessly elegant from beginning to end!

From the moment I arrived, there was a calm excitement in the air. Shelby was radiant and carried herself with a timeless bridal grace. The design was classic and refined: elegant silhouettes, soft tones, lush florals, and thoughtful touches. The day felt elevated yet deeply personal- every element reflected Shelby and Cole’s style.

I loved most about their day was how the sophistication never overshadowed the joy. Shelby and Cole are the kind of couple who can move seamlessly from a quiet, emotional moment to laughter and joy seconds later. It was an elegant day, but also playful, lighthearted, and completely true to them.

Family and friends were at the heart of the day. From emotional first looks with parents to a surprise mother daughter dance… these are the moments that make the day extra special. You could feel generations of love surrounding Shelby and Cole as they stepped into this next chapter together. Shelby and Cole’s wedding was a celebration not just of their love, but of the family and friends that had brought them to this moment in time. I was truly honored to be a part of their day. Cheers to many more amazing weddings like theirs in the future!
