So Mariah and Christopher hired me to photograph their wedding in Hawai’i, but of course that plan was foiled as covid precautions were much heavier (and longer!) in the islands. Not wanting to sacrifice having all their VIP’s along for the ride, they decided to stay change gears and host it in their hometown of Minneapolis. Of course, this still worked out for me, as Minnesota is where I was raised, and still have family. So I told them “let’s keep our contract as is, we’ll just change locations no problem!”
And what a venue they chose! The Machine Shop is a historical building, part of the Pillsbury mill back in the day. It now hosts many events as it’s located just off the Mississipi, across from downtown. It was a perfect place for the bridal party getting ready, holding the ceremony in the great room, cocktail hour, as well as dinner and dancing!
Congrats Mariah and Christopher, I really would have followed you anywhere for your big day:)
