Blaisdell Manor

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

This fountain greets you, after you enter the gate at the Blaisdell Manor (built in 1910) in Minneapolis. We were there for a wedding reception, and there were people milling around everywhere sipping champagne so it was hard for me to get shots of all of its beauty, minus people. But here are a few.

Many of the guests were from France, and this little French boy was just too adorable to resist snapping a photo of.

This is the chandelier in the foyer, entryway.

The cool light above the stairs.

I went upstairs, and no one was making use of this room.

And I looked down on the garden fountain.  Like the photos of The Basilica of St Mary's, these were all handheld and no flash.  We ate dinner in the ballroom and I shared my dinner with you a couple of days ago.  I had pork chops, and some cute little dessert.  Each dish came with an orchid and I had fun playing with mine.  You couldn't tell, could you?


If you’re interested in seeing the ballroom or more of the wedding it’s over on our Newdae Photography Blog.
