A Summer Brunch Wedding at The Machine Shop

Cristina and Jared’s wedding day brought a breath of whimsy to their wedding celebration, planning a brunch wedding complete with mimosas, bloody marys, a crepe cake, and avocado toast. Inspired by their love for turning tradition on its head and creating a life that fits who they are perfectly, every detail and moment of their day was perfectly them I don’t think I was able to stop smiling once!

Cristina’s Beautiful Wedding Day Details

Getting ready at The Hewing Hotel meant that we could use their beautiful rooftop for Cristina and Jared’s first look. The quiet of the morning lingered and they were able to soak up the sweet moment alone.

 

Before jetting off in their VW to The Machine Shop for their ceremony, Cristina and Jared made a truly iconic stop to pick up their wedding CREPE (!!) cake at Bellecour Bakery.

I’m so happy you’re here!

Hello!

I’m Reyna, the heart and soul behind Sea Circus Weddings. With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’m based in Minneapolis but have had the joy of capturing love stories across the country. My journey also led me to capture beautiful moments in Bali, ranch weddings in Carmel-by-the-Sea California, engagement shoots in New York Sea and on the shores of New Buffalo Michigan! I am always ready for an adventure to capture a beautiful love story.

My passion for photography blossomed from witnessing the profound love my grandparents share. At 86 and 84, their enduring bond is beautifully preserved in their wedding photos, which have become cherished heirlooms in our family. The timeless color tones and raw, natural emotions in their images inspire me to create heirloom, film-inspired photography for the couples I work with. I love capturing celebration, people on their happiest days, the intricacies of deep love, and beautiful flowers!

I live in a charming Tudor house in Minneapolis with my husband, our two little girls, and our cuddly cat, Goose—named after Gooseberry Falls, where we tied the knot in 2019! In my free time, you’ll often find us enjoying dance parties, embarking on camping adventures, or cuddling up with a good book (currently, I'm captivated by The Secret History by Donna Tart!).
