Minneapolis Wedding Photographer • Crystal + Andrew

The morning of Crystal and Andrew's wedding the Twin Cities was hit with a massive blizzard. After trying to contact them, we began our drive to Waconia. The snow was falling so rapidly that even the highways were covered. We were the first to arrive at the church and discover the lights were out. The caretaker found us a flashlight and informed us that the power lines were down so they didn't have any electricity. Thus began our most memorable wedding to date. Crystal and Andrew arrived shortly after us with smiles on their faces and proceeded as planned without heating or lights. A huge thank you goes out to their pastor, who allowed us to use flash throughout the entire service. Here's a sampling of Crystal and Andrew's memorable day.

 

 

 

 

 

Minneapolis Maternity Photographer • Annie

One day in November I received an email inquiry from Annie, who was 34 weeks pregnant. She had found my website and wondered if I did maternity/belly photographs. The answer was Yes I do. Maternity sessions are really special and I enjoy capturing the interaction between the soon-to-be parents. Then I like to focus on the upcoming Mom's excitement and connection to her baby. When the weather cooperates, the session includes both outdoor and indoor studio photography. The weather and light were amazing, so we started on location near Annie's house.  As the sun set, we returned to her house and set up our traveling studio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Featured Real Wedding on Minnesota Bride • Tina & Paul

Last week I received some great news. Minnesota Bride wanted to feature our photographs of Tina &  Paul's wedding at Pinehaven Farms. That's even more exciting than receiving mail, in my book :-) So, please go take a look at http://mnbride.com/real-weddings/tina-paul

Minneapolis Engagement Photographer • Nicky & Tommy

I knew as soon as I met Nicky & Tommy that we were going to work together fabulously. We had a great time planning their engagement session at the Pine Tree Orchard. Needless to say, the two hour session flew by. Here are only a few of my favorites from the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer • Jill + Aaron

As Jill & Aaron's wedding day got closer and closer, I was more and more excited. As I mentioned in my previous post, I absolutely love fall weddings. They're always dear to me, as Geoff and I were married in October, oh so many years ago. The weather was absolutely stunning, Jill and Aaron looked fabulous and we had a wonderful time doing their couple session after an emotional first look. Then it was on to the wedding party, followed by family portraits, the ceremony, and then off to the reception. In addition to the popular events - toasts, cake cutting, and the first dance, we captured a special choreographed wedding party dance that was amazing - brought down the house. From getting ready to the first dances, the whole day was full of emotions, probably the most touching wedding we've been honored to document yet. Thank you so much Jill & Aaron for letting us be a part of your day!

 

 

 

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer • Rachel + Jon

I love Fall weddings. The typically pleasant temperatures, golden light, and beautiful fall colors are wonderful elements for a wedding day. Rachel and Jon's wedding was on a perfect late September day. We started the day with Rachel getting ready, followed by a private First Look moment with Jon. After spending some time with just the two of them, we moved on to the wedding party and family portraits. The remainder of the day was spent covering the ceremony and the main events of their reception. Here are a few of our favorites...
