Based in Waconia, Minnesota, we create wedding and event stationery for events, big and small, around the world. We offer custom design work that is built from scratch based on your own personal vision, as well as pre-designed semi-custom suites which we are happy to tweak to make just perfect for your special occasion. Our found, Josie Helmstetter, was born in Inverness, Scotland, and though she was still a wee bairn when her family moved to the United States, she still treasures her Scottish roots (so much that they inspired the name of the company!) She attended college in Southeastern Minnesota and also Oxford University in South East England, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Winona State University. Eager to expand her horizons, Josie explored the world in her twenties, absorbing the beauty and culture of Europe and Asia while falling ever deeper in love with design.  Eventually settling in Southern California, Josie found work in the fast-paced world of advertising, employed by agencies in San Diego and then Los Angeles.  Her design work took a personal turn after she fell in love and started planning her wedding. Josie adored the process of designing timeless stationery, knowing that each piece would be held and read by the people she cared about the most. Soon after, friends planning their own weddings asked that she create their stationery, and what began as a heartfelt favor for friends soon blossomed into a creatively fulfilling custom business of her own. Eleven years, two kids, and one dog later, life couldn’t be sweeter for Josie and our Ivory Isle Team. We work with people from all over the world, incorporating different cultures in our designs and printing in languages as diverse as French and Bosnian. Variety keeps the work fresh and engaged. It’s a big part of why we all are so in love with what we do.  There are no small jobs. Every order the Ivory Isle accepts, every design that we put our hands to, is part of the most important day in a couple’s lives. Every second that we spend making something, we keep that in mind. Attention to detail, quality production and our personal touch ensure that everything Ivory Isle creates perfectly complements your special day. We are thrilled that you’ve found Ivory Isle Designs, and honored to be entrusted with such an important duty.

We've all experienced the magic that music can bring to any moment. Maybe it's the soundtrack to the first kiss you shared. Or the jam that gets you both up and dancing no matter what kind of day it's been. Music moves us, changes us...and makes us feel magical ourselves. Still, maybe you haven't thought too much about what kind of impact an entire day of music made just for you could have on this next step in your journey together. But here's what we've learned: Long after they remember who sat where or how the cake tasted on their big day, couples recall the breathlessness of that first dance. They feel the excitement in the melody that accompanied the walk down the aisle. Music unlocks those memories in a way no other force in the universe can. Abiding Harmony uses original compositions and high-end sound equipment to create a cinematic atmosphere during your ceremony. Accomplished composer, Bill Finn, blends both of your modern musical tastes with traditional instrumentation of your choosing to truly give you a one-of-a-kind moment. Sound Engineer, Todd Smith, uses modern sound technology to not only ensure every note is heard, but also make sure everyone can clearly hear the officiant, the vows, and the readings. In addition to the production at the ceremony, you will also receive a studio recording of your composition, a live recording of the ceremony, and a hand-scripted page from the music. We would love to chat with you more about how Abiding Harmony can help uniquely accent your special day. Please feel free to contact us at (612) 836-7800 and we can set up a meeting at our NE Minneapolis studio.

Each wedding is as unique as the couple in it; it is an experience as much as it is an event. A bride and groom spend a lot of time and effort planning their big day down to the smallest details, and I feel honored to be there to capture it all. From the boudoir and bride getting ready, to the emotional first look, to the breathtaking romantic moments of their special day... I am there to document the emotions, details and beautiful memories. I enjoy working in a natural light setting to achieve the soft, airy, romantic style. I photograph with a fine art approach by using both, a digital camera and a medium format film camera, which makes my work stand out. My photography focuses on capturing emotions, happiness and creating stylish imagery in the highest quality. I take time to get to know each couple that I work with to learn what it is that they expect, and make sure I go above and beyond to leave them satisfied. Most of my clients become life long friends and I feel blessed to document their families' wonderful life events. It is my greatest privilege to capture memories for my clients so they could relive them for many years to come. I love to combine my passions for art, photography, and travel to photograph unique moments and unique settings. My work has been featured in publications and magazines in the United States and in Europe. 

As a wedding photographer, I love what I do. For me every wedding is a thrill and delight. I love capturing all the fleeting moments that mark the beginning of your life together. With a style that’s been described as quirky, elegant and fun, I blend classic portraiture with a photojournalistic eye. I realize that this is one of the most important days of your life. With this in mind I strive to discreetly document the love, laughter and celebration that will tell the story of your wedding day for years to come. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my site. Contact me for additional information – I’d love to hear about your big day!

Natural. Unexpected. Artfully edgy. Telling a story, preserving a moment, creating art - it's what I'm all about. I employ a variety of approaches and an artful, relaxed style when observing the world and bringing out its authentic splendor. Chances are, you will never spend more time and money on the way you look and every detail of your wedding day. In addition to telling your whole wedding story with photojournalistic detail and accuracy, I'll also gently direct (more than pose) you in a way that brings all that beauty out in your images. You'll look both amazing and natural. Because your wedding celebrates the love and bond between you and your fiancé, your images will reflect that emotion and sentiment (so looking-at-the-camera-and-smiling shots are infrequent). Plus, we create these stunning images in a fun, relaxed setting, I help things move smoothly with a calm, thoughtful approach. The resulting experience and images will begin the legacy of your marriage. The three collections - Complete, Full, & Essential - are  all-inclusive, with an engagement session, digital negatives, and custom-designed fine art coffee table book. Collections are also based on the "chapters" of your day, not hourly, from "getting ready" to "mid-dance." Lauren is the Lead Photographer at every wedding, and always has an assistant to help out. When the dress is packed, the food eaten, and the decor dismantled, your images are the one lasting element. Choosing your photographer is an important decision. I think finding the right personal fit is key. I'd love to meet for a quick consultation, typically at the studio in NE Minneapolis, to get a feel for your style, chat about your day, and hopefully give you one less thing to worry about in the planning process! Feel free to check out the latest work on the Photo Blog or Facebook page.

We want you to have the best wedding ever while we capture the moments you will remember the for rest of your lives! We strive to create images that are beautiful, natural and full of life! Our style is photo-journalistic in nature, detail-oriented and candid, and we will guide you to look natural and beautiful, but not overly posed. Your images will be lightly edited in classic color or timeless black & white. We live & breath weddings, and love this industry with our whole hearts. We would be honored to be a small part of your story. So, let’s connect and find out if we are the right fit!

Located in Pepin, Wisconsin, Villa Bellezza Winery & Vineyard combines picturesque bluff views and striking classical architecture to create an event that you and your guests will never forget! Inspired by Southern European architecture and built to live in harmony with its surroundings, Villa Bellezza offers a special twist on the classic winery. Many find the experience of stepping into the winery is like stepping into Italy- giving the feeling of a destination wedding. Reserving your wedding at Villa Bellezza includes private use of the following spaces: The Vineyard Pavilion: A large structure with a clay tile roof, supported by tall Tuscan stone columns, and paved with a brick floor. Enter this space through a smaller pavilion and take a long walk down the brick walkway through the heart of the vines. A raised stage at one end provides a perfect view for everyone to see the ceremony. The Great hall: Inside the beautiful stone Villa, the Great Hall has a main level ballroom and an interior balcony overlooking the space below. Towering ceilings arched with wood beamed trusses add sophistication and warmth to the stucco space. Rows of french doors open to your large private courtyard and vineyard lawn, with bluff views beyond. Additional french doors on the room's south side lead to the outdoor arcade facing our central Piazza and fountain. The Great Hall can accommodate 300+ guests, depending on seating arrangements. Reception Hall: This stone structure is home to an antique French 17th century tasting bar. More intimate than our Great Hall, our Reception Hall features similar soaring ceilings and wood beams for a different but equally pleasing effect. Climb the space's signature stone tower to see the view from above! The Apartment : Our luxurious Apartment is the perfect space for pre-wedding preparations. Large enough to accommodate groups both large and small, it is comprised of two adjoining rooms along with a private restroom. Enjoy vineyard views and lots of natural light - perfect for those getting-ready wedding photos.

Our founder, Hana April Chughtai, has an extensive background in designing luxury wedding and events. After countless mornings spent with brides on their special day, Hanax realized that most of the bridal parties were not wearing anything unique or special, even though photographers were capturing every moment as their got their hair and makeup done. The clothing didn’t show off their style, match the colors for their wedding, or even reflect the personality of the bride. Bminx launched to fill the void in the market. We offer high quality products that are also ecofriendly material. Trend-forward designs and long-lasting fashion you can wear past the day of the wedding.

We want to make something that stands the test of time; a film that you’ll keep coming back to for the rest of your lives.   That’s why our close-knit, expert team gets to know what makes your story YOUR STORY; we take our time, we ask questions, and we listen. We’re focused on capturing footage that shares the essence of what makes your love story rare and beautiful.
