Spring. Such a breathe of fresh air to us all. A friend spoke to me of the most beautiful white church in Nerstrand, Minnesota – nestled amongst the hills. Ever since that moment I sought to plan and coordinate a time to capture the beauty of bridal portraits on its grounds. Valley Grove Church stands […]

A winter wonderland in Red Wing can only be made better by a St. James Hotel wedding! Katie & Jared threw in all the Christmas feels for their day, and the only thing that could have been better is for a blizzard warning to have stayed away. One thing the powerhouse weather couldn’t move is […]

Preparing this Ivory North Co. Spring Wedding styled shoot was an absolute treasure in my heart. As I invited fellow creatives and vendors into this shoot my anticipation grew to a tremendous buoy lifting my imagination. I thought, can this even be real? Selecting these images to share with you makes me smile all the […]

I had just finished photographing Alex & Joe’s husband and wife photos, and we returned to the Grand for their reception. Right before we entered I remembered to ask them if they wanted a photo with their marquee! (I mean, how could you not want that when your sign reads, “I Do with the Donahoes”? […]

Gretchen walked through the elegant reception tables of the 3 Ten Event Venue with her hands over her mouth. The ceremony space was prepared for its reveal. Approaching her altar installation, I heard Gretchen’s voice through tears: “It’s beautiful.” Beholding the intention and design, she walked nearer and then circled back to her mother for a […]

What an absolute joy to photograph this Chaska wedding!! I loved returning the Outpost to be with Carissa & Ajith all day – firstly because they are amazing grace-filled people, but secondly because we are family friends with Carissa’s brother! (and so many folks from our church were invited!) The First Page is Turned These […]

Olive Branch Farm couldn’t have been more of a perfect venue for Haley & Zach’s wedding. Not only did the greenery on the cross altar perfectly match their invitation suite, but the owners are Gustavus friends of the couple! I also have a personal bias towards these two, because the wedding website they handcrafted (literally […]

The beauty of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church jumps out from the streets of St. Paul. Sweet neighborhoods flank this striking building and somehow despite its height, it feels fitting. Photographing the details of this church wasn’t just fun – Daniel had specifically asked me to capture the architecture on their wedding day! Susie […]

So thrilled to share this St. Anthony Main Minneapolis engagement session with you all!!! I first “met” Haley & Zach over video call and I’ve looked forward to meeting them in person ever since! As Haley told me about her wedding colors I got real excited! Zach even mentioned how my brand colors matched their wedding colors […]

Friends, I can’t even contain my excitement to share this Red Barn Farm Wedding styled shoot! As my first time planning a styled shoot (and pregnant with baby on the way!) I decided to focus on a local wedding spotlight. I love showcasing the talent in the wedding industry of my hometown, Northfield, Minnesota! (Seriously, what […]
