This wedding editorial at The Lowlands in Saint Paul was a concept shoot collaboration between myself and several other local Twin Cities vendors. Nicole with The Bridekick spearheaded the planning and provided florals and decor, Ashley with The Coe Collective provided photography, Raleigh with Studio Yofi provided stationary and modeling for the day, and Rebel Diamonds Studios provided video.

This Lowlands Saint Paul wedding editorial is perfect for folks looking for a venue with an elevated, modern atmosphere. The effortlessly romantic vibes in this reimagined industrial building provides the perfect backdrop for unique, intimate celebrations.

Some of the vibes for the day were intentionality, brightness, and joy. I think our vendor team and band of models knocked it out of the part. Raleigh and husband Nick were an incredible model couple, who used their original wedding letters to set an authentic and romantic tone.
