Minneapolis Wedding Photography | Sydney and Porter's Wedding at The Sinclair on Grande

|February 6, 2024

The Vision:

Sydney and Tyler held their wedding at the Sinclair on Grand in Northeast Minneapolis! One of the city’s newest event venues, this space boasts an industrial and rustic aesthetic, mixed with exposed brick and concrete, a lofted arch ceiling, and several getting-ready spaces. Sydney and Tyler booked the space knowing it would be a perfect fit for their wedding vision — a stunning blend of white, mint green, tones of rusty terracotta, accents of cognac leather, and pops of pink and yellow. Their vision brought to reality was nothing short of perfect!

Customizing their wedding day elements to make it truly “them” was also very important to the bride and groom. Porter designed and crafted a diamond-shaped ceremony arch using wood sourced from trees on their families’ properties. This bespoke touch added a personal and intimate element to their special day, symbolizing the union of their lives and families. Sydney broke convention by having her brother serve as her “Man of Honor.” Meanwhile, Tyler’s twin brother stood by his side as the Best Man, with all his brothers contributing heartfelt toasts that added warmth and laughter to the celebration.

Although May in Minnesota is usually lovely, the weather took a turn, offering a touch of unpredictability to the day with a gentle rain. However, instead of dampening spirits, it provided an opportunity for creativity. We embraced the weather, capturing enchanting photos that used reflections from puddles to add a unique and ethereal quality to the wedding album.

To kick off the reception with a burst of energy and excitement, Sydney and Porter introduced the “Table Dash Challenge.” This lively game had the newlyweds dashing from table to table, capturing memorable photos with their guests within the span of a single song. The joyous laughter and camaraderie set the tone for a night filled with celebration.

In every frame captured, the essence of Sydney and Tyler’s love story shone through – a beautiful blend of creativity, personal touches, and the undeniable joy that comes with joining two lives in matrimony. This wedding was more than a union of two people; it was a celebration of love, family, and the artistry of crafting unforgettable memories.
