Sydnee + Luis // Day Block, Downtown Mpls Wedding

December 7, 2025 Bernadette Fox
day-block-wedding-minneapolis_0053.jpg

Documenting the wedding of a colleague is one of the very highest honors... and especially so if it is the extremely talented Sydnee Bickett Photography. Sydnee and Luis' story is one of true love, and it was obvious to all who shared in their wonderfully unique celebration. The Bride transformed her great grandmother's blue/blush pink wedding dress into a modern gown (hello pockets!), and carried a stunning felted bouquet. Married at the Day Block Event Center in downtown Minneapolis, every element of their celebration was personalized... from a bicycle theme with custom bow ties and a spoke backdrop, to an accordion ceremony serenade and live bluegrass music, vow moments captured on polaroids, heart-felt speeches in both English and Spanish, a super delicious pizza bar (accompanied by hand-sewn cloth napkins for their guests to keep!), and some very competitive (wait for it) BINGO! to end the evening... Luis + Sydnee certainly put their own stamp of love and fun on the day. Here's to many years of great pizza, fun games and endless adventures ahead, together!

November 3, 2025 Bernadette Fox

There's no better place for a stunning, historic back-drop in Saint Paul than the James J. Hill Library downtown, and Emily + Ryan provided their guests will a wonderfully sophisticated, black-tie evening of love and celebration. This dynamic couple successfully added a variety of personal touches to their wedding to make the event truly unique... they shared a romantic First Look in between the tall stacks of reference books and (in full gentleman form) the groom greeted all his guests upon their arrival. Ryan + Emily also had a professional artist make a live painting during their ceremony! As the sun went down, they enjoyed a delicious meal, followed by lots of laughing children on the dance floor. Congratulations Emily + Ryan!

Engaged // Nirja + Mayank - Engagement Photos

July 5, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Nirja + Mayank are my dream clients. A laid back and fun-loving couple who requested an engagement session in their Uptown Minneapolis apartment! These two love listening to vinyl over hot tea and Indian biscuits, and we simply did just that. Plus, a jaunt through the park on their bikes for some ice cream. Sometimes it's the little everyday things couples do together that best represent intimacy and make for honest imagery!
