Family, friends, laughter, and togetherness are some of the best words to describe Jamie & Josh’s wedding in Stillwater, MN. It was a gorgeous fall day to celebrate these two individuals and it was such an honor to capture these big moments for Jamie, Josh, Waylon, and even their beloved dog, Scout!
We started the day at the most charming VRBO in Stillwater, reminiscent of an English cottage named James Mulvey Inn. I remember entering the home and seeing the bridesmaids and family members smiling and talking. As Josh and the groomsmen arrived, the energy and excitement escalated, setting a beautiful tone for the day dedicated to honoring Jamie and Josh.
Jamie and Josh shared their ceremony overlooking St. Croix River at Pioneer Park. Family and friends filled the park and watched Jamie and Josh exchange vows, share prayers, and have a log-cutting ceremony to represent their first obstacle together as a married couple. Even Scout made an appearance during the ceremony!
After the ceremony, the celebration continued at The Grand Banquet in Stillwater. This historic banquet hall is filled with exquisite stained glass in the entryway, ceiling, and above the bar, along with intricate woodwork. The atmosphere of The Grand Banquet makes you feel like you were transported to a different era!
Stillwater, Minnesota is where Jamie and Josh first met and hold special significance to them. I love how they incorporated various locations around the town as a pivotal part of their wedding day to showcase their love story and share it amongst family and friends.
