Victoria and Dan aren’t your average couple—they’re adventurous, fun-loving, and completely down for anything. Which is exactly why their winter wedding at Pine Peaks Event Center in Crosslake, MN is going to be one for the books. But before the big day, we had the chance to capture who they really are with an unforgettable adventure session in the heart of Northern Minnesota.

An Adventure Session in Nisswa

When we started planning their engagement photos, it was clear Victoria and Dan wanted something more than just pretty poses. They wanted movement, laughter, and a backdrop that felt true to them. So we headed into the snow-covered woods and trails near Nisswa, MN for a winter adventure session that perfectly matched their vibe.

Bundled up and ready to explore, these two didn’t flinch at a little cold (or a little snow in their boots). From snowy pine forests to frozen lake views, every frame was filled with the real moments that make their love so unique—playful, genuine, and grounded in adventure.

Pine Peaks in the Winter

With the wedding set for this winter at Pine Peaks Event Center, I can already tell it’s going to be stunning. Nestled in the woods of Crosslake, this venue is perfect for couples who want an elegant celebration without losing that rustic, Northern Minnesota charm. Add in the magic of snow-covered pines and glowing fireplaces, and you have a cozy, elevated winter wedding dream.

Victoria and Dan are planning a day that reflects exactly who they are—intentional, joyful, and filled with personal touches. And with the snowy landscape of Crosslake as their backdrop, their love story will shine in the most unforgettable way.
