Hi there! We are Aaron and Rachel, a husband and wife photography team that also offer the perfect venue for any celebration. Here we want to share our advice about planning and capturing your perfect event!
Summer romance was in full bloom on June 20, 2026, as we opened our doors—and our hearts—to celebrate the beautiful wedding of Kelli and Brad (near Rochester, MN). From the sun-drenched outdoor ceremony to the meticulously organized reception, every detail of their special day perfectly reflected their love story.
As a venue that proudly offers stunning spaces, we were in absolute awe of how beautifully their vision came to life. Here is a look inside Kelli and Brad’s unforgettable wedding day at Divanyx Event Center & Photography.
A Picture-Perfect Outdoor Ceremony
The day began under the clear summer sky at our outdoor pergola. Kelli and Brad envisioned a romantic, vibrant setting, and Huckleberry Floral delivered exactly that. The pergola was adorned with stunning bouquets of deep, pretty purple flowers that popped beautifully against the lush greenery, creating a breathtaking backdrop as they exchanged their vows.

Clean Lines and Classic Details: The Reception
Following the ceremony, guests moved indoors to a reception that was the epitome of organized elegance. Right from the start, a beautifully crafted “Find Your Seat” chart welcomed loved ones, ensuring a seamless transition into the party.
The ballroom was set entirely with classic rectangular tables draped in white linens, allowing the vibrant purple floral centerpieces to take center stage. Each seat was meticulously set with elegant plates, creating a clean, sophisticated, and welcoming atmosphere for dinner.
Good Eats, Local Treats, and Endless Fuel
When it came to the menu, Kelli and Brad treated their guests to some of the absolute best local flavors:
The Main Course: Guests enjoyed a mouthwatering feast catered by the legendary John Hardy’s BBQ.
The Bar:Spare Time Lanes kept the celebratory drinks flowing all night long with fantastic bar service.
Snacks & Coffee: To keep the energy high and the cravings satisfied, the couple provided an abundance of delicious snacks and a dedicated coffee station for everyone to enjoy throughout the evening.
A Creative Twist on the Guest Book
One of our absolute favorite personal touches of the night was the way Kelli and Brad used our Divanyx Photo Booth. Instead of a traditional guest book, they set up a creative, interactive station!
Guests stepped into the booth to snap fun photos, printed out their photo strips, and placed them directly into a scrapbook. They then got to decorate their designated page and leave a heartfelt, personalized message for the newlyweds. It’s a priceless keepsake they will cherish forever!
Seamless Transitions & Sweet Dreams
A flawless wedding day requires a powerhouse team, and Kelli and Brad chose an incredible lineup of vendors to ensure their guests were comfortable from start to finish. Star Transportation provided smooth, safe shuttle service throughout the night, ensuring everyone returned to their accommodations at the Comfort Inn and Suites West.
Thank You, Kelli & Brad!
To the new Mr. and Mrs., thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing Divanyx Event Center & Photography to host the first day of your forever. It was a true honor to witness and capture your love. We wish you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and endless coffee dates!
