Some shoots stop you in your tracks the moment you walk in — this was one of them. As a Minneapolis Wedding Photographer, I get to witness unforgettable moments like this all the time.
I love capturing moments that feel truly unforgettable. In fact, being a Minneapolis Wedding Photographer allows me to witness these extraordinary scenes. I often get to visit some of the city’s best venues.
This past spring, I had the privilege of collaborating with Ashley Fox Designs, one of the Twin Cities’ most celebrated floral studios, on a spring editorial we’re calling Pêche.
The name is a nod to the soft, sun-warmed palette of peach, terra cotta, and cream that anchored every detail of this design. The setting was Urban Daisy, Northeast Minneapolis’s most striking modern event venue. The combination was nothing short of extraordinary.
The Vision: Spring in Bloom
Ashley Fox has been creating nature-driven, seasonally inspired floral work since 2008. Her designs have graced the pages of Vogue, People, and Martha Stewart Weddings. For this editorial, she leaned into early spring’s most expressive blooms — lush garden ranunculus, trailing greenery, and clusters of white and coral flowers spilling across the floors in loose, organic ground installations. The result felt less like décor and more like the venue had grown its flowers from within.
As a Minneapolis photographer specializing in weddings, I found the ground florals — winding between the ceremony rows and pooling beneath the cake table — were the undeniable centerpiece of the design. Ashley’s signature approach draws from the natural landscape rather than imposing structure on it. Therefore, she turned Urban Daisy’s polished concrete floors into a garden floor. Amber glassware, taper candles in warm clay tones, and ghost chairs completed a tablescape. As a result, the tablescape felt simultaneously modern and deeply organic.
The Space: Urban Daisy, Northeast Minneapolis
Urban Daisy is one of Minneapolis’s most versatile and visually compelling wedding venues. With 17-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling white drapery, polished concrete floors, and a flood of natural light, it functions as an ideal canvas for editorial and fine art photography. For a floral-forward shoot like this, the venue’s restraint — neutral, architectural, unadorned — allowed Ashley’s work to command every inch of the frame. As a Minneapolis Wedding Photographer, I found Urban Daisy to be the perfect backdrop for romantic and modern wedding images.
The woven rattan pendants overhead added warmth and texture without competing with the florals below. The long linen-draped tables gave the room a grand, intimate tension. This tension photographs beautifully in both film and digital.
Shoots like this one remind me why I do this work. Editorial collaboration is one of my favorite ways to push creative boundaries and build relationships with the best vendors in the industry. In Minneapolis, photographing weddings as a local expert means I get to meet creative partners who understand the vision and dedication required of a wedding photographer.
