Madden’s on Gull Lake Wedding

A Dream Day at Madden’s on Gull Lake by Minnesota wedding photographer

From the moment I arrived at Madden’s on Gull Lake from Minneapolis, I felt the magic in the air. Katherine got ready in the bridal dressing room, giggling as her satin gown whispered around her. Just a few steps away, Matt was preparing in the lodge—calm, excited, and ready for what was coming.

Tears at First Sight

We walked to a quiet nearby trail by the lake for their first look. Matt turned, saw Katherine, and his eyes filled with tears. He spread his arms and ran into her embrace. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, too. I captured that moment when two hearts full of love collided.

Romantic Portraits by the Water at Madden’s

After that emotional first look, we headed to the lake’s beach and dock for portraits at Madden’s. I gently guided them into soft, romantic poses so their love could shine through. They laughed, they whispered, and I captured every ounce of that romance.

Their ceremony was right by the lake with close family and friends. Vows were shared, laughter filled the air, and tears glistened in the sun. It was honest, emotional, and deeply intimate.

A Grand Boat Entrance

Post-ceremony, they hopped on a boat for a private ride across Gull Lake. Golden light wrapped around them as they floated toward the venue. They stepped off to cheers and applause—a wedding entrance filled with joy and celebration.
