Minnesota Wedding at Madden’s Resort on Gull Lake

Weddings

Logan and Brynn radiated sweetness and love, making them an absolute joy to be around. Brynn’s heart of gold paired perfectly with Logan’s gentlemanly nature, creating a truly perfect duo. The afternoon at Madden’s Resort on Gull Lake was a memorable experience. The fresh air under the Pavilion, the lively chatter, and infectious laughter created a vibrant atmosphere. However, what stood out the most were the killer dance moves on the dance floor. The light wands, shades, and streamers added an extra layer of fun and excitement. I couldn’t resist joining in on the dancing, and I’m glad I did. Capturing those candid moments of pure joy and uninhibited fun is always a highlight for me.

A Golf Course Love Story

Logan and Brynn’s love story began at The Pines Golf Course at Grandview Lodge, where Logan was the golf professional. Brynn was hired as a beverage cart girl, and Logan quickly took notice of her charm. Soon after, Logan transitioned to Cragun’s Legacy Courses as the Head Golf Pro. Brynn didn’t need much convincing to follow him. She found him quite cute, after all.

Without hesitation, Brynn followed Logan to Cragun’s. Their working relationship blossomed into a romantic one, and soon they were inseparable.

“From meeting Madisen to having her shoot our engagement and wedding photos, we were so impressed with her communication, passion, and clear love for her job- which she will tell you “doesn’t feel like work at all.” She was very easy to work with and helped take the guesswork out of the picture-taking process throughout our wedding day! She captured what was important to us and was very personable, which made the nerves of the day and the potential intimidation of being in front of the camera melt away. From the big to small details, she captured every bit, and we are so grateful to have memories we can frame, share, and love forever.”

Celebrating Love at Madden’s Resort on Gull Lake: Brynn and Logan’s Vintage-Inspired Wedding

I had the pleasure of meeting Brynn while photographing another wedding on the Gull Lake cruise boat. She was a joy to connect with, and when she reached out to share her engagement news, I was thrilled beyond measure. We clicked instantly, and I knew capturing their story would be amazing.

Their reception was filled with thoughtful details that reflected their love for vintage, timeless, and classic things. Every detail held significance, from the vintage phone voicemail “guestbook” to the classic car Logan’s uncle restored for their day. Brynn’s Nana gifted them antique champagne flutes for their first toast, and her mom curated almost all the items in the detail photos. Brynn and Logan were incredibly grateful to their families and friends for contributing to their special day. Their wedding was a beautiful reminder that celebrations surrounded by your favorite people are the most meaningful.
