Early Summer Creekside Farm Wedding

A Warm and Candid May Wedding at Creekside Farm Event Center | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

There’s something undeniably special about a spring wedding in Minnesota—especially in May, when the world feels like it’s waking up again. As a Minneapolis wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing one of the most heartwarming and joyful celebrations this season at Creekside Farm Event Center in Rush City, MN.

Nestled in the countryside just north of the Twin Cities, Creekside Farm is the kind of venue that makes you fall in love with Minnesota all over again. The restored barn, the rolling meadows, and the gentle creek running through the property provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with natural light, laughter, and genuine moments.

The Atmosphere: Warm and Joyful

May graced us with the perfect weather—mild temperatures, soft sunshine, and just enough breeze to keep things fresh. From the moment I arrived, the energy was warm and inviting. The couple’s focus on family, love, and authenticity set the tone for the entire day.

As a photographer who thrives on candid, documentary-style wedding photography, it’s days like this that remind me why I do what I do. I love capturing those in-between moments—the stolen glances, the spontaneous laughs, and the quiet hugs that often go unnoticed.

A Natural Setting for Natural Moments

One of my favorite things about Creekside Farm Event Center is how effortlessly it blends rustic charm with modern elegance. From the willow trees by the creek to the open fields surrounding the barn, every corner offers a picturesque scene for portraits and unscripted moments alike.

The ceremony took place inside the restored barn, while guests sat at their tables. The golden hour light after dinner gave us the dreamiest setting for natural, romantic portraits, and the couple’s easy chemistry made every frame come alive.

 

Why Creekside Farm Is a Hidden Gem

For couples looking to host a relaxed, intimate, and stunning wedding day, Creekside Farm is a hidden gem. It’s only about an hour from Minneapolis, making it a perfect destination that still feels close to home. And for photographers, the variety of textures, light, and landscape options make it a dream to shoot.
