A modern, warehouse wedding in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota at The Machine Shop. Indoor ceremony and reception with pops of color and brass details. Wedding Planner Champagne & Lace and florist Artemisia Studios.

What a pop of color this wedding was in the middle of my wedding season! Ashley and Brent’s wedding took place in July at the historic The Machine Shop in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love how modern yet full of character this venue is and how well suited it was for their day. Artemisia Studios brought the floral magic per usual with bouquets and table arrangements in hues of pink, orange, and white. Jennifer Brisson of Champagne & Lace coordinated the day beautifully and lead an epic room flip while guests drank cocktails and played yard games on the second floor. Some other personal favorites touches: the brass and gold details, blue accents, and Ashley’s show stopper open back Madison James dress.

Madison + Zane | Meadowlark Botanical Gardens Wedding | Photos by Lydia Jane (www,lydiajane.com)

It'll probably come as no surprise that I adore greenery. I have 30+ plants in my small apartment and jump at any opportunity to shoot in lush green nature. I mean, just take a browse through my wedding and engagement galleries. Lots of nature! So, heavens, when Madison emailed me about her wedding at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens my heart skipped a beat. I'd photographed at this venue once before and loved how much beautiful, natural light flooded the Atrium. Not to mention the actual gardens out back! What a great day and even greater couple. Shout out to the talented Calla at Weddings by Calla for connecting me with the bride and groom. It was lovely working with you again, Calla!
