Dennis and Crissy ~ Minnesota Golf Club

Dennis & Crissy's wedding was on a beautiful day in September, the sky was brilliantly blue and the sun was shining brightly for these two amazing people! As we pulled up to the Collins' residence, Dennis walked out to greet us, a beaming smile plastered on his face! You could tell he was so ready to call Crissy his wife! As we entered the house, all of Dennis's guys crowded the kitchen, the table covered with cards and the air filled with laughter. At a hotel a distance away Crissy was with her bridesmaids, getting ready herself! We entered the room to find her sipping a mini bottle of red wine through a straw, and enjoying the conga lines of shoulder massages! Soon our beautiful bride was in her white gown, she donned her sparkling shoes, and we travelled to the church where she would see Dennis for the first time on this momentous day! At the back of the church was an isolated garden sanctuary where the flowering blooms and small berry speckled trees were the perfect place for their first moment. Crissy stood at the center of the garden, her cathedral veil spread around her in a white sheath. Dennis walked up, a boyish grin on his face as he glimpsed his beautiful Crissy for the first time! She covered the distance, enveloping each other in a warm hug.
After a few moments the family started trickling out of the church, Romanian and Minnesota accents filled the air! The families had no trouble getting along as they joked and laughed, no one could be happier for this adorable couple than their loving family! Soon everyone crowded back into the church, as the wedding was about to begin! Rose petals speckled the red carpet between the pews, and guests started to arrive. Crissy and her bridesmaids hid just downstairs, but slowly emerged as the music started to play. The vows were given, candles were lit, soon Crissy and Dennis kissed and they were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Collins! As they exited the church they were bombarded with a cloud of bubbles as everyone welcomed the newly married couple!
Soon after the clouds opened and rain started trickling down, everyone quickly boarded the bus, and we escaped to Billy's on Grand for a couple of drinks! Everyone was overjoyed and ready to party! Billy's was the perfect refuge from the rain, but we soon had to move on. Everyone rushed once again, dodging the rain drops until we arrived at the college where Dennis and Crissy first met! We couldn't pass this up, everyone sprinted to the columns, and Beau was able to capture some great images under the arches of St Thomas University. The wedding party was a blast and we were able to get some great images there! Soon we arrived at the reception: the beautiful Minnesota Golf Club!
As we arrived the rain relented, and the sun poked out from the clouds just in time for some stunning sunset photography on the green! Being such a beautiful, in-love couple it was so easy for Beau to photograph beautiful wedding photos of them in the warm evening light! We certainly recommend the Minnesota Golf Club for weddings, as the food was delicious with glazed pork chops, and crab cakes! The staff was delightful, and helped with the guests every need! As the dances began, Crissy and Dennis had rehearsed every step, they spun across the dance floor, their first dance as husband and wife! The guests couldn't help themselves and soon after the dance floor was filled, at one point every guest travelled around the reception room, swaying and laughing to the festive Romanian music!
This was such a special, beautiful night, we wish Crissy and Dennis all the happiness in the world! ~ Natalee
