A few weeks ago I blogged about the "Wedding Ceremony Locations" where I have shot in the last 8 years of doing wedding photography. I had every intention of following it with the list of the wedding receptions and never got to it until now! I wanted to make these list for a couple reasons...1. to help me remember 2. to help accurately answer the question "Have you ever shot there before?" 3. Give a list of ideas for brides still looking. The race for setting your wedding date and securing your ceremony and reception locations is on! There are so many beautiful locations in the Twin Cities but, they fill up so fast...especially for the fall dates. Who doesn't love the fall in Minnesota?
Usually brides set the wedding date, check to make sure the ceremony and reception are open for that date and then they call the wedding photographer. I love meeting with recently engaged couples! It's so fun to hear each story and start dreaming of the photography that best suits them. Anyways...I'm getting side tracked...here's the list:
Arboretum - Chanhassen/Chaska, MN
Crowne Plaza North - Brooklyn Center, MN
Midland Hills Country Club - Roseville, MN
