Romantic Summer Wedding at Bloom Lake Barn

To have, to hold, and to love—always.

A Warm & Beautiful Summer Wedding at Bloom Lake Barn | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Some wedding days just feel like magic from the very beginning. This summer celebration at Bloom Lake Barn was one of those days—filled with sunshine, laughter, and the kind of love that’s as authentic as it is joyful.

Located just a short drive from the Twin Cities, Bloom Lake Barn is one of the best wedding venues near Minneapolis for couples who want natural beauty, rustic elegance, and a relaxed atmosphere all in one place. With a stunning white barn, towering green trees, and open skies, it’s a dream setting for a summer wedding.

Outdoor Ceremony Under the Trees

The couple exchanged vows outdoors, surrounded by the quiet rustling of trees and the warmth of the afternoon sun. The ceremony space at Bloom Lake Barn is tucked among lush green trees, making it feel peaceful and intimate, even with a crowd of loved ones watching. It’s those moments—walking down the aisle, teary-eyed vows, the look on their faces when they said “I do”—that remind me why I love capturing weddings rooted in real emotion.

The White Barn: A Stunning Backdrop

After the ceremony, guests made their way toward the iconic white barn, where cocktails and conversation flowed as golden-hour light danced across the property. As a photographer, this barn is a favorite of mine—not only for its clean, classic look but because it reflects the light in the most beautiful way. Whether it's portraits with the wedding party, intimate couple moments, or candid snapshots of guests mingling, the barn adds timeless charm to every image.

Candid & Authentic Moments That Matter Most

One thing I always tell my couples: it's the in-between moments that tell the real story. At this wedding, those moments were everywhere—tight hugs between siblings, belly laughs during the toasts, the bride and groom sneaking away for a quiet breath before the first dance. These are the memories that live on beyond the details and the timeline. These are the images that feel authentic and warm every time you look back at them.

A Perfect Minnesota Summer Day

With the soft breeze through the trees, the glow of the sun setting behind the barn, and the joy of everyone gathered together, this Bloom Lake Barn wedding was the picture of a perfect summer day. Everything came together seamlessly—from the natural beauty of the venue to the love radiating from the couple and their guests.

If you're dreaming of a wedding surrounded by nature, a cozy-chic white barn, and moments that are truly you, Bloom Lake Barn might just be the best place to start your forever. And if you're looking for a photographer to capture it all in a way that’s real, beautiful, and candid, I’d love to be a part of your story.

Let’s document your day the way it felt—honest, joyful, and full of heart.
