Marcy & Tanner at Woodhill Country Club

Woodhill Country Club · Wayzata, MN

This is Marcy and Tanner’s wedding at Woodhill Country Club in Wayzata, Minnesota. They chose to keep their original wedding date, even after COVID-19 restrictions forced a change to their plan A. Many loved ones could not travel or gather in person — so the couple livestreamed the day on YouTube, making room for family and friends who had to be present from afar.

One of Marcy’s sisters could not make it, but stayed close by FaceTiming throughout the day and even prerecorded a toast the couple watched at the reception. It was a beautiful, joy-filled celebration. Cheers to them.

Woodhill Country Club in Wayzata

Woodhill Country Club sits in Wayzata on the Lake Minnetonka side of the Twin Cities — classic clubhouse rooms, summer light, and the kind of Minnesota backdrop that asks for a filmmaker who stays with people first. For couples searching for a Wayzata wedding videographer, the venue gives atmosphere; the film is still about how the day felt in the room.

We filmed on a Sony A7S II with a story-driven approach: preparations, ceremony, and the reception moments that held this celebration together — including the voices that reached the couple even when someone could not stand beside them.

Keeping the date, opening the livestream

In the summer of 2020, keeping an original wedding date was its own kind of courage. Marcy and Tanner adjusted the plan without abandoning the day itself. When restrictions and travel made it impossible for everyone they loved to attend, they livestreamed the wedding on YouTube so distant guests could still be part of it.

That choice shaped how the day will be remembered. A film from a livestream-era wedding is not only a highlight of who was in the room — it is also a record for the people watching from another screen, and for the couple who wanted them there.

A sister’s FaceTime and a prerecorded toast

One of Marcy’s sisters could not be there in person. She FaceTimed through the day anyway, and prerecorded a toast that Marcy and Tanner watched at the reception. Those are the imperfect, deeply specific details a wedding film is built to keep — not polished for a brochure, but true to how love showed up when plans had to bend.

Getting ready began at Hotel Landing in Wayzata. Makeup was by Lady Vamp Artistry; photography by Steena Anne Photography. Marcy’s gown came from Annika Bridal Boutique — a Pronovias design. Every credit points back to a day that stayed personal even when the guest list could not.

Why this film matters

A Woodhill Country Club wedding film from 2020 is not a story about a perfect Plan A. It is a record of how Marcy and Tanner held their date, opened a livestream for the people who could not travel, and still filled the day with joy — including a sister’s toast that arrived by recording when she could not arrive in person. Years from now, they will not only see where they stood. They will feel who showed up for them.
