Amery & Aidan's Stonewall Farms Wedding

The day starts in a softly lit dressing room. Amery wears a lace-trimmed white robe, a bridesmaid in a satin robe fastens her necklace, and bridesmaids in matching gray robes laugh on and around a sofa with a small girl in white. Her gown hangs on a painted folding screen under a crystal chandelier, with a lace veil and pearl-strap heels on a tufted settee beside it. In black and white a woman pins her hair and applies hair spray, and a little girl in a floral dress holds a necklace while Amery bends down to smile at her.

Aidan wears a tan suit with a sage tie and a white rose boutonniere. In a run of frames he and Amery read folded notes and a handwritten page beside an old wooden carriage and under a timber shelter, Aidan laughing as he reads from a small notebook. Amery's bridesmaids wear sage satin dresses and the groomsmen tan suits. The wedding party cheers on a path between tall red pines, bridesmaids raise bouquets around Amery on the lawn, and the groom grins from behind a ring of white and blush bouquets.

Many portraits are in a pine grove with a wooden cross draped in sheer white fabric: Aidan dips Amery for a kiss on a gravel clearing in front of it, she lifts her skirt and smiles at him, and she blows him a kiss. By a wire fence a dark horse stands close as the couple kiss, and in warm backlight they pose beside oversized chess pieces on a brick patio. They walk through tall grass at golden hour with Aidan lifting the gown and veil, kiss in a field of tall grass in black and white, and hold hands along a gravel shore with a lake behind them. A close frame holds up two wedding rings against a pale lake sky.

The reception is a beamed hall with chandeliers, white draping and string lights. A two-tier white cake with ridged frosting is decorated with pink dahlias and wood slice flowers, and the couple kiss while holding a plate of cake under a tent. At the head table beneath white draping and an infinity sign, a bridesmaid and a man in a tan suit give toasts while Amery laughs. Then the floor fills: guests dance in purple light, a woman in a navy lace dress swings a silver toy guitar as she sings and the crowd claps, and men and women drop into push-ups, Amery included, while the crowd watches and laughs.

• A pine grove with a wooden cross draped in sheer fabric: portraits, a dip kiss and cheering bridesmaids.
• An old wooden carriage and a timber shelter: the couple reading notes.
• A gravel shore beside a lake, and tall grass and fields at golden hour.

• A beamed reception hall with chandeliers, white draping and string lights.

Emma Ziegler founded Honey Deww Photography in 2018. She is based in Minneapolis and traveled to Willmar for this wedding. Willmar is well beyond the 40 miles of travel included from downtown Minneapolis, so travel is billed at cost with no markup and quoted before you book.

Stonewall Farms is in Willmar, Minnesota, and its own website describes an 80-acre property on the shores of Solomon Lake. The spaces it lists are the White Oak Barn, the Pine Pavilion, the Pine Cathedral, the Stonewall Suite, a private retreat for the couple, and the grounds.

The site does not state a guest capacity or a wedding season, so ask the venue directly for dates, tours and current details before you plan around them.

Here the 12 hours run from the dressing room and the gown on a screen through the portraits and the ceremony, the cake, the toasts and a long dance floor. That is the length of the Sapphire collection.
