To say that we love Redeemed Farm in Scandia would be an understatement.  We simply can’t get enough of its countless breathtaking backdrops, its awe-inspiring grounds, and its team that always does a phenomenal job of ensuring every wedding there is amazing!  It was the perfect venue to host Kelsey and Andrew’s big day, and Sophrona of Joyful Day Weddings ensured everything was stunning from start to finish.

We began the morning by documenting the details in the bridal suite while the ladies finished up hair and makeup.  Andrew prepared with the men in the groom’s quarters while Kelsey put on her gorgeous gown and headed out to meet Andrew on the vineyard lawn for portraits.  From the time we first met at Kelsey’s sister’s wedding, and then again at their engagement session last fall, we have loved the way that Kelsey’s smile and laughter light up the room when she is with Andrew.  Their big day was no exception, and we had the best time celebrating with them alongside their wedding party and families!

Following portraits, guests arrived with Renee’s Limousines for the beautiful ceremony in the Historic Barn Loft. Of the Sea Films beautifully captured all of the emotions on video, and Kristina Brewer painted the moment of Kelsey and Andrew’s first kiss!  Guests mingled in the Vineyard Pavilion and then gathered for the reception surrounded by gorgeous florals from E. L. Design.  Everyone enjoyed dinner from Lake Elmo Inn Catering, speeches, and dessert by Buttercream Bakery.  We topped off the evening with a few portraits in the rain, and the night came to a close with dancing in the Stable hosted by David James Events.  Kelsey and Andrew, your wedding was absolutely incredible, and we wish you all the very best in your newest adventures as newlyweds!
