Liz and Jacob's Wedding Photography

I flew out to Baltimore a couple of weeks ago to capture a wedding in Virginia. It was a lovely 70 degrees the weekend I was there and I soaked up the sun. I loved visiting the east coast...secretly I just wanted to blast the Hamilton sound track every car ride :) We even drove past a couple of historic landmarks...I have to go back with my kids!!!

The wedding was stunning. Outdoor weddings are risky, but when they work, they are magical! This one had sun and clouds until the reception started and then in poured while we were cozy inside eating and dancing. The couple was a dream to work with and there was tons of kids in the wedding party so that is always a bonus for me.

Thank you Liz and Jacob for hosting me and asking me to capture this amazing day of memories.

Here are a few of my favorites from the wedding day...enjoy!

Molly and Mike's Wedding Photography - Hudson, WI

Fall is an incredible time of year in the midwest! We love our pumpkin everything, changing fall leaves and cool night air. For a wedding and portrait photographer it's an especially amazing season...The light, the colors and the outdoor events! Even after 15 years of capturing wedding...this is still my favorite part! I love it when families come together and celebrate love. I love it when two people choose each other. I love it when I get to be there to capture it all. Here's some of my favorites from their amazing day!

Christie and Adam's Wedding Photography (Minneapolis, MN)

I love getting to know my couples. They are each so unique. This is a couple that I love to laugh with. The kind of couple that I would love to sit around the table talking, eating good food, and sharing heart stuff. They are good people. The kind that move from clients to being friends. I kinda love it when that happens. They wedding was so beautiful. So, naturally, that makes my job as the wedding photographer very easy.

Thank you Christie and Adam for inviting me to be a part of this incredible wedding!

Rebecca and John - Wedding Photography

I've been a wedding photography for a long time. Over 15 years now. That sounds crazy even as I type it. I never set out to be a wedding photographer or run my own business. It just kinda happened. I was talked into shooting my first wedding by a friend and before I knew it I had 6 weddings booked for the following year. The rest is history. Over the years I have shot many different styles of weddings and I have to say military weddings have a special place in my heart. I wish I could explain why...I don't come from a military family, I've barely held a gun and I grew up in Canada. Ya, so like I said, I don't know why. But, put any person who has chosen to serve and protect my life, liberty and freedom in front of me and I get teary. And proud. And thankful. And so, that made this wedding really special. :)

This couple was cool and confident. The bride and groom handled every curve ball of the day with ease and grace. They were a dream to capture and it was a lovely way to spend a Saturday! We started out way up north at a church near Victory Memorial Parkway and then ended the night at Stonebrooke Gold Club.

Even after all these years, I still wake up on the day of a wedding excited to capture the beginning of someone's new life. I love weddings. I love marriage.

Here's some of my fav's from the day! It was such a privilege to share in this precious day!

Evie and Rodea's Wedding Photography

Wedding Photography is very near and dear to my heart. Nothing makes me smile like a wedding with friends who are like family to me. And when I get to keep coming back wedding after wedding, it's more like a family reunion. The best part is when I put my cameras down and start to dance! Ya, I do that sometimes. :) Wedding Photography is about telling a story and each one is so different...that's why I love this job! Enjoy this incredible family...

Rachel and Akis - Wedding Photography, Rochester, MN

Getting to capture someone's wedding is a pretty great honor. But...when I'm asked to come back and photograph the same family's second daughter, I can't help but smile. At the end of the night the mom gave me the most amazing compliment. she said, " You came in as our photographer and you're leaving as part of the family." Isn't that beautiful? Kinda amazing when you realize that people let you into their families when they have you as their photographer. I don't take it for granted. This beautiful family...there were so many beautiful moments and it was really hard to narrow the photos down to a few of my favorites to show you as a sneak preview. But, I hope you enjoy these! Two wonderful families coming together as one!

I never tire of meeting new families and couples about to begin the most amazing adventure...marriage is beautiful when cherished! I wish the best for Rachel and Akis!

Megan and Joe Wedding Photography (Minneapolis, MN)

I love weddings. Even after months of capturing weddings every weekend...I still love weddings. I truly love being a wedding photographer. It's my privilege to be with these couples on their big day. Megan and Joe were such an easy couple to capture. The fall wedding weather was perfect! I caught myself several times that day taking deep breaths and marveling at the beauty all around us. I loved shooting at Loring Pasta bar and Varsity Theatre.

Minnesota Fall Wedding - Pam and Joe, Minneapolis, MN

Sometimes I meet a bride and we just click. I get to hear so many stories of love and each story touches my heart in a unique way. Pam and Joe are one of those couples. They chose a beautiful Minnesota Fall Wedding date AND they chose the Russian Art Museum for their beautiful venue! It was picture perfect. I'm so thankful I got to be a part of their amazing day!

Wedding Workshop Photography - Vintage bride and groom.

We had an amazing night at the wedding workshop last weekend. We had so much fun capturing two couples. Our first couple was a vintage bride and groom and the weather, light, and location were perfect! I love teaching photography and inspiring new photographers to grown in their gifting and passion...teaching wedding workshops let's me focus on something I love to capture!

Travis and Laura's Wedding Photography - Mill City Museum, Minneapolis, MN

I love joining a party. I got to know the bride and groom from our fun engagement shoot and her family made this wedding dear to my heart! I have shot many weddings at the Mill City Museum and it's one of my favorite venues in the Twin Cities. There are so many beautiful options for photography along the river and with skyline as a background is perfection! Here's some of my favorite moments from their wedding day:

Suzelle and Jonathan - Wedding Photography

Remember the rain we had last weekend? Can you imagine waking up on the day of your wedding and seeing it pour outside knowing you've planned an outdoor reception? That's what happened to Suzelle and Jonathan. I had met them at our their engagement shoot and immediately fell in love with them, their story, their sweet sentiment...they are such romantics! I was so looking forward to seeing them again at their wedding. I wanted everything to perfect. I didn't want the rain to ruin anything. One of the benefits of being a wedding photographer for 14 years is that I've shot in every kind of weather and I know I can get beautiful pictures no matter what. Sometimes the bride and groom need a little convincing when the weather is at it's worst. But, Minnesota weather is unpredictable and by the evening the sun was out and the party was raging! It was perfect and I'm so thankful I had a part in their beautiful day.

Enjoy this sneak peak of their wedding photos.

Martha and Nathaniel's Wedding Photography - St. Olaf, Northfield, Minnesota

I love the St. Olaf grounds and buildings. Northfield is such a beautiful little town with tons of charm. I jump at the chance of shooting weddings there. The Grand is an adorable old theatre converted event center for such occasions like this! It was a gorgeous day for Martha and Nathaniel's wedding and I'm so thankful I got to be a part of it. Here's some of my favorite moments of the day:

Dagny and Tim's Wedding Photography, St. Paul, Minnesota (Summit Manor)

The Summit Manor is one of my favorite locations to shoot weddings! It's so beautiful. I feel like I walk into a different time and it feels magical. Dagny and Tim were such an easy couple to work with. We had an incredible day and here's some photos ...

Chris and Rachael's Wedding Photography, St. Paul, Minnesota

Here's the continuation of the St. Paul Wedding at Summit Manor. Can't wait to shoot there again next month :)

Chris and Rachael's Wedding Photography - St. Paul, Minnesota

You may think that after 14 years of shooting weddings it gets old, but you're wrong. I love being a wedding photographer. Chris and Rachael reminded me that each couple is unique and amazing (even when they are chemists!) I had a hard time picking their blog photos because there were so many incredible moments. So...I'm going to break up the posts...consider this PART 1! Congrats to an amazing couple! More to come...

Winter Weddings in Minneapolis, MN

After Christmas I joined an amazing group of people for a lovely wedding in downtown Minneapolis. It was bitterly cold, but the snow was so pretty. I love weddings...even after 14 years of capturing them.

If you're a little cold this winter hopefully some of the wedding shots will bring a smile to your face :)
