A Wedding Session ~ Otsego, MN Wedding Photographer

I loved meeting this amazing couple. They are truly great together… and even better as parents. Their beautiful daughter is such a miracle! Born a micro preemie (teeny tiny!!!) she has thrived with these two as Mom and Dad and was able to be a part of a very special day. It snowed out the evening before but entire wedding party were troopers and went outside for a few quick, cold, windy photos – that also turned out really cute 🙂 This union was all about having those closest to them present, and the ceremony in front of the fireplace was incredibly touching. They say a person is only as good as those who surround them… if that is indeed the case these two are in luck. Congratulations again, I know your life will be truly blessed!

A Wedding Session ~ Blaine, MN Photographer

This was such a beautiful day. From a stunning couple to the beautiful venue of TPC in Blaine complete with gorgeous flowers and table settings it was picture perfect. Despite it being a scorcher outside everyone was a trooper and willing to partake in some photos outside. Totally worth it though!  A big Thank You to Ben Wilson of Wilson Aesthetics for being my right hand man for the day. I couldn’t have had a better partner!

A Wedding Session ~ Princeton, MN Photographer

Oh. My. Goodness. I don’t exactly know what to say about this wedding besides stating the obvious. It was BEAUTIFUL. The weather? Perfect. The location? Even more perfect. The couple? Picture Perfect (see what I did there?!).  This amazing event took place at the Groom’s family farm just north of the cities. There were many hours put in by the bride with the decor, but it really paid off. A lovely reception followed a very emotional ceremony, of which the Bride’s Uncle presided over. One of my favorite parts was the symbolic gesture the couple had during the ceremony. Instead of lighting a unity candle, they had dirt from both of their childhood homes that they combined in one pot and planted a tree ❤  Such a great idea!!  Thank you again for letting me in on your special day. It was magical. Also, a big Thank You to Angie Fude for being my right hand “chick” and helping me capture it.

A Wedding Session ~ Otsego, MN Photographer

From the moment I met this couple I knew their day would be beautiful. The details the bride explained and the excitement in her face were so great that you just couldn’t help but share in her joy! We lucked out and had a great day for weather that allowed us to get outside for some pretty photos and use the greenery around Rockwoods Banquet Center in Otsego, MN. The inside was decorated beautifully and I loved the pops of color that were both present on each table and throughout the entire space. One of my favorite touches was the Caricature artist they had at the reception. What a COOL idea! Everyone was taking part during the drawing 🙂 I was lucky enough to have Kristin McCarthy, of Kristin McCarthy Photography, join me to capture this special day. She is so great at what she does! Also one last big thank you their wedding planner, Kierstien Fetzek. She did a fabulous job and I would recommend contacting her if you are looking for some guidance and help planning such an important event.  Congratulations to a FANTASTIC couple and I can’t wait to see everything the future holds for you ❤

A Wedding Session ~ Plymouth, MN Photographer

Fall is my favorite time of year and this amazing wedding totally reminded me why. The weather is great, the colors are amazing, the light tends to be even better and all three factors came together for this beautiful couple on their very important day. I had the pleasure of having the very talented Amber Lynn Photography shoot with me for the day and the setting of the Plymouth Creek Center provided some really lovely settings ❤  This day was full of stolen glances that ended with grins, laughs with friends and those closest to the Bride and Groom, and quite possibly the BEST Best Man Speech I have every had the privilege of witnessing… it was one of those moments where I really wished I was a videographer 😉 Thank you again for letting us capture your history in the making… and enjoy your journey together. Congratulations!

A Wedding Session ~ Lakeville, MN Photographer

You might remember this adorable couple from their beautiful engagement session we did early this summer… I was SO excited for their wedding! We had a beautifully sunny day that may have been a little chilly but hey, at least there hasn’t been snow yet! This stunning bride is such a sweetheart and the pure excitement she felt to marry her Groom was infectious, it was smiles and laughs all day long. Brackett’s Crossing Country Club in Lakeville was a gorgeous location and the had some great spots for photos. Congratulations to the happy couple, may life bless you every step of the way.

A Wedding Session ~ Maple Lake, MN Photographer

From the moment I met this BEAUTIFUL bride I knew it was going to be a fabulous day, and boy was I right. This wedding was simply stunning. Relaxed elegance oozed out of the details, right down the chandeliers the Mother of the Bride brought in from her very own attic.  The barn at Cadillac Ranch in Maple Lake was an amazing setting and if you asked me to pick a favorite detail I honestly couldn’t. Everything was perfect! The bride is just as detail orientated as her mom – she created her shoes from a plain satin pair and made the one of kind necklaces for her bridesmaids from old vintage finds. Thank you again for letting me be part of such a magical day and many congratulations on all of life’s future adventures

A Family Session ~ Elk River, MN Photographer

I really enjoyed meeting this family, they were just full of genuine and happy love! The boys had fun together in typical brother fashion and one of my favorite outtakes ever was when I said the kids might need a little tickle to get a “real”smile out… too cute!! Thank you for allowing me to capture your lovely family and I can’t wait to work together again 😀
