Lake Elmo Park Reserve Wedding | May + Matt

May and Matt’s took place at Lake Elmo Park Reserve, inside the park’s cozy shelter with a fireplace as the backdrop. Including their daughter in the ceremony made the day feel even more heartfelt. Every time Matt and May locked eyes, their love radiated!

PORTRAIT TIME

After the ceremony, we captured family and wedding party photos. The bridesmaids each wore a different pastel shade, creating a soft and playful palette that perfectly complemented the setting. Once we finished all the group shots, I snuck away with May and Matt for some portraits surrounded by lush greenery. These quiet, intimate moments captured the love and connection between the couple beautifully. We were then joined on the bridge with the couple’s daughter for an epic family dance party!

A SWEET END TO THE DAY

For the reception, guests spread picnic blankets on the grass, enjoying a relaxed meal. May and Matt then shared a cake cutting with their daughter, then danced their first dance together, followed by parent dances.
