The atmosphere at Willow Brooke Farm was nothing short of magical as Lindsey and Hunter prepared to exchange their vows on the most perfect fall day in Red Wing, Minnesota. Surrounded by their cherished friends and family, the couple’s special day was filled with so many heartfelt moments, joy, and laughter.
The venue, Willow Brooke Farm, is easily one of my favorite Minnesota wedding venues to shoot at. They have two on-site getting ready areas. The Barrel Lounge is the perfect place for the guys with a pool table, TV, and bar. The Farmhouse is absolutley beautiful, updated while keeping the original character. It has a a hair & makeup area and full updated kitchen. There is so many good spaces for getting ready photos and bridal portraits. They have large courtyard and pavilion bar for guests to enjoy an outdoor social hour, and the beautiful newly constructed White Willow Barn is heated and cooled, which let’s be real, is a MUST in Minnesota. If it rains, there is a backup option to get married in the barn which is equally as gorgeous as the rest of the property.
The guys had a perfect casual start to the day, toasting with their cigars and taking in the scenery in their matching sweatsuits. It was so much fun to capture them hanging out together and doing a game day style entrance.
Lindsey & her girls got ready over in the gorgeous farmhouse. They also were in matching comfy sweat suits to start off the day. It was the most perfect chill start to the day.
Hunter & Lindsay had their first look in the vineyard. Surrounded in the golden autumn leaves of the vineyard it was so intimate and beautiful.
The vineyard provided a picturesque backdrop for their ceremony, with the golden leaves and grapes creating a stunning setting. After their ceremony ended and the guests enjoyed cocktail hour at the pavilion and the Cedar Cip Trailer in the courtyard. Hunter and Lindsey went into the venue to take some time just together as newly weds, enjoyed their appetizers and drinks, and had a first dance. It was such a good way to soak in those new moments as husband and wife just the two of them.
As the day transitioned into night, Lindsey and Hunter continued their celebrations with their loved ones by their side, sharing in the joy of their new beginning. The late-night snack of corn dogs added a playful and nostalgic touch to the festivities, ensuring that everyone had a delightful treat to enjoy.
