What did the Findleys' wedding day look like in these photos?
The day begins with the details. Three rings sit on an ornate gold tray beneath a printed invitation, with a white sandal among fallen autumn leaves, and the sandals appear again in a weathered window box of pink begonias and maroon leaves. The gown hangs in a bright window beside a tall ornate mirror, a woman helps the bride into it, and a close frame shows the beaded lace on its bodice as she fastens a delicate bracelet. The bride carries a bouquet of burgundy dahlias, orange roses, cream blooms and eucalyptus, with a framed black and white photo charm pinned to the ribbon.
On the porch steps of a white house the bride, in white pajamas, laughs with five bridesmaids in black pajamas. Later the bridesmaids wear rust dresses and carry orange and cream bouquets, and the groomsmen wear tan suits with rust ties and white boutonnieres. The groom wears a tan three-piece suit with a red tie, and the bride a satin off-the-shoulder gown with a beaded veil. In one black and white frame she sits on a rope swing, smiling at bridesmaids gathered on the lawn.
The couple read vows to each other on the lawn beside the rope swing: the groom reads from a small black book while the bride holds a folded note, and she smiles with emotion in a beaded veil as he reads handwritten vows aloud. A man in a blue suit walks the bride down the aisle of a rustic wooden barn between white chairs, toward a draped arch with floral corners. The couple kiss at the arch as the wedding party and seated guests applaud.
The rest of the day is portraits and the party. The couple kiss under a white lattice arbor, dip-kiss against a brick wall as the wedding party crowds in, and stand in front of that wall for a run of group portraits with guests in blue, navy and rust. Out in the field a dipped kiss sits under a huge blue and pink dusk sky, and the rings come out in a blurred frame against a glowing sunset. In the reception room they walk hand in hand under strings of lights, share a first dance on an empty floor, raise glasses at a long head table and kiss in front of a stone fireplace with a neon sign.

- A rustic wooden barn with white chairs on the aisle, tall floral arrangements, strings of lights, a chandelier and a draped arch: the ceremony.
- A reception room with metal-paneled walls and strings of lights: the first dance, the head table and the party.
- A brick and siding wall: the group portraits and the wedding party kiss.
- A country path past a silo, and open fields at dusk beside a wire fence.
- A bright living room with a vintage sofa, a fireplace, white curtains and a chandelier.
What should you know about weddings at The Cottage Farmhouse?
The Cottage Farmhouse is at 16545 County Road 2 in Glencoe. Its own website describes a 15-acre, garden-inspired property with hydrangeas, maple trees, open fields and tree-lined paths. It lists a historic cottage, a Bridal Cottage for getting ready and a pergola, and says café and twinkle lights are used throughout. The reception space is a white barn with 33-foot ceilings, crystal chandeliers, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and French glass doors, which can also host an indoor ceremony as a rain plan. Outdoor ceremonies take place beneath the trees, and a forest ceremony site has a white arbor in a grove of mature trees.
The site does not state a guest capacity, so ask the venue for current details. Our Glencoe wedding photographer page lists the other venues in town.
Who photographed this wedding, and how far is Glencoe from Minneapolis?
Emma Ziegler founded Honey Deww Photography in 2018. She is based in Minneapolis and traveled to Glencoe for this wedding. Glencoe is in McLeod County, west of the Twin Cities, and it is beyond the 40 miles of travel included from downtown Minneapolis, so travel is billed at cost with no markup and quoted before you book.
How did 8 hours of coverage fit a wedding on one farm property?
When everything happens on one property, as it did here, the hours go to the story instead of the drive: details and getting ready, the vows, the ceremony, portraits with the wedding party and guests, the reception and the first dance. Eight hours is the Pearl collection.
