Ella & Kaz’s Four Seasons Minneapolis Wedding

There are wedding days that leave impact, and Ella & Kaz’s at the Four Seasons Minneapolis is one of those. From the first quiet moments of getting ready to the last song on the dance floor, this day was filled with intention and beauty.

Getting Ready in the Heart of Minneapolis

Ella and Kaz each started their morning tucked away in the upper-level suites of the Four Seasons. Those rooms are a dream—floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping city views that feel like something out of a movie.

Ella, bubbly and creative, shared this quieter time of the day with her closest ladies, sharing laughs while slipping into her gown. Kaz, a little more quiet but deeply intentional, adjusted his cufflinks with quiet confidence. It was the perfect reflection of who they are: different in energy, but beautifully complementary.

A Rooftop First Look

Their first look happened on the rooftop terrace, high above Minneapolis. Just the two of them, the city buzzing in the background, taking a deep breath before stepping into the day together.

It’s no secret I love a first look. It gives couples space to connect privately, shake off nerves, and ground themselves before the ceremony. (If you’re curious, I wrote more about The Benefits of Doing a First Look and why I recommend it to so many of my couples.)

A Ceremony Surrounded by Love

Friends and family gathered to watch Ella and Kaz exchange vows. Some traveled from across the U.S., while others flew in all the way from Japan. That kind of devotion tells you everything you need to know about this couple—their community loves them deeply.

The ceremony itself was heartfelt and gorgeous, with design by the incredible team at Rose Imaginative. They transformed the Four Seasons into something magical: lush florals, clean lines, and details that made the day feel perfectly Ella & Kaz.

Dinner, Dancing, and Pure Joy

After a dinner that only the Four Seasons could deliver, the party truly started. The DJ kept the dance floor slamming all night—friends, family, everyone moving.

I don’t say this lightly: it was one of those receptions where you wish the night would never end.
