Atef & Amy | St. James Hotel, Redwing, MN

Amy and Atef’s wedding was a joyful and elegant celebration held at the historic St. James Hotel in Red Wing, Minnesota. Surrounded by close friends and family, the two exchanged vows in a setting that was as meaningful as it was beautiful. The hotel, with its rich history and timeless charm, was the perfect backdrop for such a heartfelt day.

Before the ceremony, Amy and Atef shared a private moment in the library, reading personal letters and vows to one another. It was an intimate and emotional time, full of love and anticipation, and one they will always treasure. The ceremony itself was elegant and meaningful. A ring-warming took place as the wedding bands were passed from guest to guest, each offering silent blessings and well wishes.

Following the “I do’s,” guests sipped signature drinks during cocktail hour while mingling and celebrating. Dinner took place in a stunning parlor adorned with blue-and-white patterned wallpaper, classic artwork, and soft natural light streaming through the windows. The atmosphere was cozy, classy, and full of love. After their first dance, Amy and Atef stepped outside to soak in the golden evening light. The nearby fountain offered a picturesque backdrop for sunset portraits and quiet moments before rejoining the celebration.

As the night continued, laughter and music filled the air. A DJ kept the energy up and karaoke brought out everyone’s playful side. The celebration reflected exactly who Amy and Atef are – warm, vibrant, and deeply loved.
