Oh friends, this purple June wedding was such a joy to capture! This tight knit family and friends filled the Gardens of Castle rock with a truly joyful anticipation. The voices of many kids running on the green grass, the multiplication of happy tears, and the amazing expression of joyful surprise are memories I cherish […]

This Gardens of Castle Rock Wedding has a special place in my heart. Little did I know when I photographed Ryan’s senior photos that down the road I would get to photograph his sister’s wedding! I remember the day I met their family I wished I would see them again…and my wish came true! Britta […]

It’s always a pleasure to shoot in Texas, friends, and today I’m sharing highlights from my time at Forever 5 Events in Houston! Not to mention, it was glorious to skip out on Minnesota winter and photograph a place with green everywhere! Forever 5 Events is a family owned venue unlike any other. It was founded […]

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”? […]

White lights lit up the dance floor as Carly took her father’s hand for their first dance. She leaned her head upon her dad’s chest as he held her tight and gently rocked her. As the guests crowded around to watch, the djay held up the mic to invite all fathers and daughter to the […]

Ever since Fiona & Mark’s engagement session, I’ve been so excited to return to Steeplechase Event Center for their October wedding! Fiona is the kind of person you can’t see anyone disagreeing with – she is as sweet as the delicious cupcakes on their dessert table! I can quote a guest saying that Mark “is […]

The week before Krystin & Anthony’s Dundas wedding was filled with long hours of landscaping and preparation. Krystin’s family took the utmost care to craft a ceremony space in their own woods and to care for their land long before wedding day. As I exited my car I met the faithful family members putting the […]

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 […]

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 […]

I absolutely couldn’t wait to photograph another wedding at Shattuck St. Mary’s when I met Melissa and Clark last year. Right before their engagement session, Noah and I found out that we were pregnant and due June 5th – just seven days before Melissa & Clark’s wedding date!!  I was so absolutely bummed that I wouldn’t […]
