As always, we arrived in town a few days early, our way of making sure everything unfolds seamlessly. Lately, our weddings have taken us across the United States, from coast to coast. Couples who are drawn to our loose editorial style, infused with a distinctly European sensibility, invite us to travel with them and bring our French touch wherever their love story takes shape.

This time, our journey led us to Minneapolis, to one of the city’s most iconic venues: The Van Dusen Mansion. Steeped in European elegance, this historic mansion feels like it was plucked from another era, its ornate interiors and timeless architecture offering the perfect backdrop for a wedding with style and soul.

Our couple, who flew in from Atlanta just to say “I do” in this extraordinary setting, clearly share a flair for European chic. The lovely bride and the groom (a commercial airline pilot) has spent years crisscrossing skies between Europe and sunny getaways, a lifestyle that naturally shaped their taste for beauty, travel, and effortless sophistication.

Through the lens of film photography, we revisited their day with a sense of nostalgia and authenticity, capturing not just the celebration but the atmosphere. The textures of the mansion, the light falling across velvet drapes, the laughter echoing through stone archways, it was all heightened by the singular vibe of film.

This wedding at The Van Dusen Mansion in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was more than just a day, it was a portrait of timeless elegance, seen through a French eye.
