Alicia and Corey Giant’s Ridge Biwabik, Minnesota

What a beautiful North Woods wedding!
As Beau and Bethany ventured north for this stunning country wedding, they stopped for a little to-go breakfast at the Duluth Grille, one of their favorite spots to eat in Northern Minnesota. They started the day off by visiting Corey at their reception location, the Giant's Ridge Ski and Resort in Biwabik, Minnesota! Corey was surrounded by his merry groomsmen, including his twin brother who was his best man! Beau photographed Corey getting dapper for his wedding day, then ventured off to see his bride-to-be Alicia! When they arrived at Alicia's parent's home in Virginia, Minnesota, the same town where this adorable couple grew up, they loved the atmosphere! The girls had mimosa's in hand, ready to have fun! Beau let all of the bridesmaids sneak a peak at a picture of Corey in his suit, but wouldn't let Alicia see. Corey's only sister was so touched, she started bawling! As an older sister, I completely understand how she must have felt at that moment! At Alicia's parent's home they have a beautiful quarry ravine in their backyard, the overlooking hill was the perfect place for Alicia and Corey to spend their first moment.
After the first moment, filled with hugs and kisses, they ventured to the ceremony in Virginia, Minnesota. They sealed the deal with a kiss, and after that point they were Mr. and Mrs. Corey Nelson! On their way to the reception they stopped at the Quarry at Giant's Ridge for drinks, and Beau was able to capture some stunning images of the two of them overlooking the crystal blue lake. The venue, Giant's Ridge Ski and Golf Resort, was a nicely appointed ski chalet overlooking the green, summer hills of the ski slopes! It was a great venue for overnight guests, as it had a hotel right on the premises that accommodated plenty of guests!
Towards the end of the evening Beau took a golf cart over to the nearby golf course to the most beautiful overlook, it had an amazing North Woods feel with the rolling hills and majestic trees. This spot was a perfect destination wedding on a beautiful summer day! You can really tell that Corey and Alicia are in love, they showed a lot of affection for each other the entire day. We were so happy to be a part of this special moment! ~ Natalee
