Not only was I able to photograph the first wedding on the terrace of the new US Bank Stadium, but I got to work with an amazing couple: Eric and Elissa. Eric and Eissa both grew up in Albert Lea, their paths crossed occasionally over the years, but they didn’t officially connect until years later at college. They were attending colleges near by, Eric at Augsburg and Elissa at the U of M, became best friends, and the rest is history! Elissa and Eric both work at General Mills, so an ideal spot for their first look was the Mill City Ruins. It was an overcast day, which we welcomed after weeks of non-stop rain. Their ceremony took place on the terrace overlooking the city at Mystic Lake’s Club Purple. We were able to have access to the entire stadium for photos, and took full advantage. It’s not often someone can have their photo taken in the locker room in a wedding dress! To celebrate their union, Eric and Elissa took a honeymoon to Disney World for a magical time. Their entire wedding seems like a dream come true!
