The photograph above is definitely one of my favorite wedding photos – the joy of saying “I do!” (This is basically what my happy dance looks like, except Evan wins in the height department!) As a solo-prenuer (aka the only one behind the face of Jennifer Sanders Photography), I am so often smiling behind my […]

There’s nothing quite like a Northfield winter wedding. In the merry hall of the Armory Square Event Center, two newlyweds dance their first dance. Like so many couples before them, the song plays and they faithfully swing to the beat. At this point in most weddings, guests may find their minds wandering as the song […]

Behold: a Northfield fall wedding with the most exquisite color palette. Have you ever walked in a room expecting something amazing, and then your expectation gets trumped with something even more astounding? This is how I felt in the Archer House River Inn Suite when Laurel revealed item after item of hand-picked, handmade details that had […]

As a resident of Northfield, Minnesota, I know how flighty the trees can be with their fall color–all it takes is one fell swoop of utter chill to leave the branches bare. So when Lena & Eric pushed back their engagement session in hopes of catching peak golden and red hues, I knew the risk […]

Driving from the Twin Cities to Gustavus Adolphus College isn’t a short journey – especially if you are a teacher in the fall with a whole new classroom! When I first met Ezra and Molly, I could instantly see the first grade teacher inside her, especially the kind voice & the thoughtful way of speaking. […]

What a joy to share this Owatonna Fairgrounds wedding with you today! I’ll begin my story with entering the venue. I pulled into the Owatonna Foundation Building still praying for sunshine. The chill and misty damp just wasn’t what I wanted for a bride on her wedding day! (Seriously, Minnesota – it was just the […]

I knew Selena & Kyle would rock their engagement session, so I took them to two of my favorite spots. The St. Olaf Natural lands becomes a buttery flame during the golden hour, and I was so thrilled we didn’t leave early when the mosquitoes tried to bully us out. Trusting me as photographer is a […]

Driving through the glory of Minnesota country, I knew this Waltham wedding would surprise me either with dark clouds or glorious sunshine. Every storm was just miles to the side of my drive– but the rain did not fall on us all day! If I had to put a slogan to Tya & Devan’s wedding, it […]

As I stepped out of the sidewalk into Aria, florists were arranging delicate blossoms on archways. The openness and the urban character of Aria is certainly striking in itself, but how beautiful to adorn it with real flowers, and to bring the countryside into the industrial sphere! Truly, I was amazed at the work those […]

The hazy light curving over the hills of River Bend in Faribault set the perfect stage for an engagement session. Tyler kept making Trisha laugh as he held her in the middle of the field and Zeus the german shepherd stayed loyal and close. (Really, I thought they had tried him to stay in the frame!) […]
