Alternative, Moody Minnesota Wedding | The Broz | New Prague, MN | Sydney Kate Photography

The Litzau wedding at The Broz in New Prague, Minnesota was a dark and moody photography lover’s dream. Ben and Ashlyn crafted a celebration perfect for my signature dark and moody wedding photography style. The historic character of The Broz, with its rich textures, warm shadows, and timeless architecture, created the ideal backdrop for a cinematic, alternative wedding day full of depth and drama.

It was the kind of day that makes my alternative heart beat a little faster.

Ben and Ashlyn created a celebration that didn’t follow anyone’s rules but their own: a bold, emotional, aesthetically rich day that was fully them from beginning to end. Ashlyn stunned in a sleek black wedding dress, a choice that instantly set the tone for their unapologetically non-traditional celebration. Paired with Ben’s effortlessly cool style and their quiet, magnetic connection, every moment felt intimate and intentional. Their alternative Minnesota wedding was filled with raw emotion, creative portraits, and the kind of storytelling that fuels my love for editorial-inspired, moody photography.

If you’re planning your wedding at The Broz, a unique elopement or dreaming up a celebration with a more edgy, emotional aesthetic, this is exactly the type of love story I’m passionate about capturing.
