Steve and Brenda’s wedding day highlights from The Loft at Studio J
Saturday, Joannie and I had the pleasure of photographing Steve and Brenda’s wedding in Stillwater, MN. The ceremony was held at Pioneer Park with a really fun reception following at The Loft at Studio J in downtown Stillwater.

Saturday’s weather was a bag of tricks to be sure. Windy, overcast and periods of rain (like right in the middle of the ceremony) made for an interesting day. I think we all did an awesome job of making lemonade out of the lemons that were given us!
Kudos to Steve, Brenda and their families and friends for making the best of it. As you’ll see from the images we have here in our highlight video, we really did. These are really great wedding photos!
The wedding day started out with everyone getting ready in downtown Stillwater, MN. The girls at Capture Salon and Lift Bridge Loft and the boys across the street at The Loft at Studio J.
The Chevy “Limo”
Brenda’s dad had his “first look” at his beautiful daughter at the mint Chevy “limo” he drove as we prepared to go meet Steve at Evans Marina up the road in Stillwater. Steve and Brenda actually met each other at Evans Marina a while back so this was a perfect place for their “first look!”

The wind was really howling and I have to give Brenda, “the bridesicle”, a lot of credit as it was just a bit on the cold side on the St. Croix River on Saturday afternoon. It was a really fun moment to capture for them.
We left Evans Marina for Pioneer Park for family and wedding party portraits and the wedding ceremony itself. All the while we were “living on the edge” with rain showers around but actually not at Pioneer Park.
Well, that changed right in the middle of the ceremony as a light but steady rain started to fall. It was really kind of romantic actually.

None the less, it was a beautiful ceremony. It had with great music, a pretty view of Stillwater and a cute couple getting married! Sweet!
We set off in the rain for downtown Stillwater with the wedding party to have some fun creating wedding photos and have a little celebration time! We have some really great wedding photographs of all of them and of Steve and Brenda near the Stillwater Lift Bridge with that awesome Chevy!

The Loft at Studio J Wedding Reception
Topping their wedding day off was their fantastic reception, dinner, and dance. All held at The Loft at Studio J in Stillwater, MN. The Loft at Studio J is a relatively new wedding venue. It’s actually a photography studio too (I actually know the owners a little bit). A cool location to be sure.
Steve and Brenda, Joannie and I want to thank you for being so much fun to hang around with on your wedding day, we really enjoyed you guys and your wedding day and we know you will enjoy this little highlight video we put together for you two!
