When Chloe first got engaged, guess who her very first vendor booking was? Yep, me! 🥹 She locked me in two whole years in advance because she knew photos were a top priority, and let me tell you… after being part of her and Kole’s wedding day, my heart is still so full.

Their colorful spring wedding at The Bluebelle Event Venue in Bemidji was everything you could hope for: emotional, faith-filled, modern, and absolutely brimming with joy. Chloe and Kole chose Bluebelle because it had everything they were looking for. It is close to home, filled with gorgeous natural light, and (bonus!) it gave them the clean, modern vibe they were dreaming of.

If you’re planning a northern Minnesota wedding, you know how challenging it may be to find a modern vibe wedding venue, but Bluebelle is a total gem for couples who want that chic-meets-nature feel.

First Looks & Private Vows

Chloe kicked off the morning surrounded by her bridesmaids, and oh my goodness, their first look with her was priceless, with all the happy tears and gasps. It was the best kind of hype squad moment! After that, she shared a tender, emotional first look with her dad (cue more tissues).

Instead of seeing each other right away, Chloe and Kole chose a “first touch” and private vows. Holding hands around the corner, they read the most heartfelt, God-centered promises to each other. It was such a grounding moment in the middle of all the excitement, and honestly, one of those parts of the day you just know they’ll carry with them forever.

The Spring Wedding Ceremony at the Bluebelle Event Venue

Kole seeing Chloe walk down with her dad? Tears. From him, from their guests, and honestly from me behind the camera. It was one of those powerful, stop-time moments where everyone could feel the weight of what was happening.

The ceremony itself was woven with worship, their faith at the very center. Surrounded by vibrant spring florals and bridesmaids in soft champagne tones, everything felt fresh, joyful, and full of life.

Their Wedding Reception

From there, it was all about celebration! Their reception was filled with laughter, sweet toasts, and those can’t-miss first dances—with each other and with their parents.

At one point, Chloe and Kole slipped away to cut a tiny vintage cake, just the two of them. It was simple, sweet, and the perfect reminder that your wedding doesn’t have to follow every tradition to be meaningful. Sometimes those little private moments are what make the day even more special.

And of course, the dance floor?! Nonstop energy! Guests didn’t hold back, and it was the perfect ending to a day that had already been overflowing with joy.

Golden Hour Moments for their Spring Wedding Day

Before the night was over, we stole away with Chloe and Kole for some golden hour photos. They had a vintage car waiting, and between the golden light, her veil flying in the wind, and the just-married glow on their faces, it felt like the perfect cinematic finale to their day.

Sweet Words from the Couple
