Mariya and Quinn’s wedding celebrated love and togetherness, set against the elegant backdrop of the St. Paul College Club in Minnesota. They had a clear vision for their wedding photography, opting for a documentary-style approach that would capture the day as it naturally unfolded. Consider me a professional fly on the wall.

A Minnesota Wedding Venue: St. Paul College Club

St. Paul College Club, a Georgian Revival mansion, is a Minnesota wedding venue that blends vintage charm with a chic vibe. The impressive architecture and outdoor garden create a beautiful setting. Whether you choose the indoor spaces or the garden, you’re guaranteed a gorgeous backdrop. The club offers flexible options for ceremonies and receptions, delicious house-made cuisine, and straightforward event coordination, making the whole process easy and enjoyable. It’s a perfect spot with bridal suites, a groom’s room, and plenty of guest space.

Mariya and Quinn were initially disappointed they couldn’t get married in the backyard of the St. Paul College Club, but the new floors in the indoor ballroom looked fantastic and added a fresh touch to the venue. Despite the change in plans, the day was still beautiful, and the elegant indoor setting, combined with the mansion’s vintage charm and garden views, created a flawless atmosphere for their day.
