In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

“Hope Glen Farm is truly an exceptional wedding venue, and we cannot say enough about the incredible team behind it. From the very beginning, communication with the venue manager, Eryka, was outstanding. She is the definition of professional — organized, responsive, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Her guidance made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a romantic, storybook setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. One of the highlights was the stunning treehouse where we stayed on our wedding night — complete with a cozy fireplace, jacuzzi, and full kitchen. It was the perfect, private retreat to unwind and soak in the joy of the day. What truly sets Hope Glen Farm apart is the thoughtful layout of the space. Each area — from the ceremony site to cocktail hour to the reception and dance floor — flows effortlessly into the next. Our guests were able to move comfortably throughout the celebration, and everything felt natural and well-paced. The entire property creates an immersive experience rather than just a single event space. The value for what you receive is unmatched. Being able to bring in our own alcohol saved us thousands of dollars without sacrificing quality, and their catering options were phenomenal. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was — which says everything. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, flexibility, professionalism, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Hope Glen Farm exceeds every expectation. We would choose it again in a heartbeat. Plus it was only 20 minutes from the airport our out of town guests really loved that.”

We have been serving the greater Twin Cities region since 1982. We started out as a pig roasting company. Over the years, we added many other meats and a wide variety of other offerings. We also feature a variety of specialty menus, yet remain the #1 pig roasting caterer in the upper midwest. Divine Swine has kept with the original theme of serving simple, wholesome, and delicious foods in generous quantities at a reasonable price. All items are made from the freshest ingredients and are the highest quality available. The heart of the experience is still our slow roasted, fresh, whole meats, featuring, of course, Roast Pork.

Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and such a fun and unique option that our guests are still talking about. One of the things we loved most about Divine Swine is the variety of catering options they offer. They were so flexible and open to helping us create exactly what we envisioned for our reception meal. We also highly recommend doing a tasting with them. It was such a great experience and really helped us feel confident in our menu choices. The team was incredibly helpful throughout the process, answering our questions and working with us to make sure everything fit our vision. If you’re looking for a caterer that is accommodating, creative, and truly invested in helping you create the reception dinner of your dreams, Divine Swine is the way to go.

“Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.”

“Devyn was amazing throughout the entire process! We were so happy with all the photos (which she delivered in record time) as well as her presence at the wedding. She had the ability to blend in and I never felt like there was a camera in my face, which was very important to me. However, she didn’t miss a single shot and captured moments that I didn’t even know she was around. We are a bit stiff, but she was incredibly warm and friendly and helped us loosen up for formal portraits. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a discrete, creative and reliable photographer.”

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! It's been my life's mission to beautifully capture every couple's love story along with every new chapter in their lives (from proposals to growing families).

I absolutely LOVE photographing proposals, engagement sessions and weddings, and my passion is reflected in my photography work.

She was very easy to communicate with, and answered any questions we had. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted at first, but she asked all the right things to help us create a vision and guide us through it. She was thorough, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted and some we didn't even know we needed! The quality of her work is exceptional - she is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and brought a fun energy to the day. Every photo we've seen has exceeded our expectations, and she even uploaded our sneak peek photos quickly so we could share them with our loved ones. It honestly feels criminal to try and pick just one to attach to this review! We highly recommend Danielle and Studio Delphianblue to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer.”

He handled both our ceremony and reception music, and everything was seamless from start to finish. The ceremony music was perfect, the timing was exactly right, and he helped create the exact feeling we wanted for the day. He used my Spotify playlists as inspiration for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour music, so those moments felt completely like us and set the perfect vibe from the beginning. For the reception, he did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy going, and making sure everything flowed without us ever having to worry about what was happening next. One of the things we appreciated most was how much he cared about making the day personal. He worked behind the scenes with our officiant and friends on a few surprises, and those little moments ended up meaning so much to us.

I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

“From the very beginning, Kaleigh brought a calm, steady presence that allowed us to feel completely at ease on our wedding day. Looking through our photos, we’re struck not only by how beautiful they are, but by how genuinely they reflect the emotion and atmosphere of the day. Kaleigh has an incredible ability to capture quiet, meaningful moments alongside joyful movement and celebration. The natural light, thoughtful composition, and attention to detail give our photos a timeless quality that feels effortless rather than staged. Every image feels intentional and true to how the day actually felt. What truly set Kaleigh apart, though, was her professionalism and composure. We experienced a few unexpected moments during our ceremony, and she handled everything with such grace and discretion. If it affected her at all, she never let it show - and even more importantly, she made sure we never felt it. Her calm presence allowed us to stay fully present, which meant more than we can put into words. Kaleigh was attentive without ever being intrusive, supportive without drawing attention, and deeply respectful of the emotions of the day. These photographs don’t just document our wedding they absolutely preserve the feeling of it. We are incredibly grateful for her care, artistry, and professionalism, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for photographs that feel both refined and deeply personal.”

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies
