Where Classic Meets Modern: A White & Sable Wedding
A Timeless Black & White Wedding at White & Sable in Ham Lake, MN
September weddings in Minnesota are hard to beat—the air is crisp, the light is soft, and everything feels effortlessly romantic. This White & Sable wedding in Ham Lake, MN was the perfect example of how thoughtful design and genuine emotion come together to create something truly timeless.
As a Minnesota wedding photographer, days like this are my favorite to document: warm connections, candid moments, and a design aesthetic that will feel just as beautiful decades from now as it did on the wedding day.
A Classic Black & White Wedding Design
From the very beginning, the bride’s vision was clear—black and white everything. Clean, elevated, and intentionally simple, the color palette set the tone for a day that felt modern yet deeply classic. Black tuxes, crisp white florals, and minimalist details gave the entire celebration a refined, editorial look without ever feeling cold or overdone.
This kind of design pairs perfectly with my approach to true to life color—allowing whites to stay soft, blacks to feel rich and dimensional, and skin tones to remain natural and warm. The result is imagery that feels honest, elegant, and completely timeless.
Saying “I Do” at White & Sable
White & Sable is one of those venues that effortlessly blends charm with sophistication. Located just outside the Twin Cities in Ham Lake, Minnesota, it offers bright, airy spaces and beautiful grounds that photograph incredibly well in early fall.
The ceremony was filled with emotion—quiet smiles, happy tears, and meaningful glances that made the moment feel deeply personal. I focused on documenting the day as it unfolded, capturing candid wedding photography that reflects real connection rather than staged perfection.
These are the moments couples tend to treasure most—the unscripted ones that bring you right back to how it felt.
September Light & Effortless Portraits
September light in Minnesota is a dream. Soft, flattering, and golden without being harsh, it created the perfect backdrop for portraits that felt natural and relaxed. The black and white palette gave everything a cinematic quality, allowing emotion and connection to take center stage.
Rather than over-posing, we kept things simple—movement, laughter, and space for the couple to just be themselves. The result was a gallery full of images that feel warm, candid, and timeless, with a classic elegance that will never go out of style.
A Celebration That Felt Like Them
From heartfelt toasts to a lively dance floor, the reception was filled with joy and energy. White & Sable’s clean, modern interior allowed the black and white details to shine, creating a cohesive look from start to finish.
This wedding was a perfect reminder that you don’t need bold colors or over-the-top decor to create something unforgettable. When you focus on what matters—connection, intention, and emotion—you end up with something truly special.

As a photographer, my goal is always to create imagery that feels authentic and lasting. Weddings like this one—rooted in classic design and real emotion—are the reason I love what I do.
