Adler Ranch - The Venue’s Unique Bar Settings | Alexandria MN | Commercial Photography
Just imagine with me for a second, the excitement of your guests as they gather around a vintage Studebaker gas truck, transformed by Marlys and Kurt into a S'more Bar at Adler Ranch. Take in the aroma of toasting marshmallows, listen to the crackling of the fire, and feel the anticipation of creating the perfect S'more at your wedding or event– it's an interactive culinary adventure that adds a touch of nostalgia and charm to your Alexandria MN wedding day.
Adler Ranch, Wedding & Event Venue - Alexandria, MN
Your destination for an inclusive and adventurous wedding experience at a vintage-American inspired venue, located near beautiful Alexandria, Minnesota. This hidden gem is nestled into a tranquil and exclusive setting of mature trees, patsureland with adjoining wetlands. The family-owned working ranch spans 59 acres, providing a variety of jaw-dropping backdrops that elevate any nontraditional wedding and celebration. Not to even mention the love, care and attention to details by Marlys and Kurt, its owners.
Brick Oven Pizza & Brew Pub Interior & Exterior Photography
Continental Divide Brew Pub, LLC opened their doors February of 2024 in the center of New York Mills, MN - our hometown! I approached this re-imagined facade pre-opening, which was now totally unrecognizable to me, to document its transformation and I was struck in awe at it’s new appearance. As I walked through the door I entered an entirely new world and was completely blown away by the incredible flip of this historic building. The place I once indulged in the world’s best donuts was now home to a brick oven pizza pub. It almost seemed surreal. Locals and travelers alike now have another place in Mills that offers a comfortable space to eat while gathering in family, friendships and good times.
