What a celebration this wedding was. Darcy and Bernard radiated joy and love from the moment they saw each other, and their family was equally as joyous. The day was cold and a bit windy, but there were no complaints, just smiles and laughter all around. Thanks for letting me document your lovely day!

Joy and Jonathan first met at Caribou, so it made perfect sense to theme their wedding around something they both loved…coffee! From the cake to the coffee bar to coffee beans in the centerpieces, the details were exquisite. They are simply an adorable couple, and the happiness that surrounded them was so genuine and full of love. But, most adorable of all is their son Caelum, who was the handsomest groomsman ever in his little mini tuxedo. He was a champ all day, and didn’t complain a bit… even when he was wheeled down the aisle in his beautifully decorated portacrib! Rather than having a receiving line, Joy and Jonathan chose to greet their guests while personally serving wedding cake or cheesecake (coffee flavored of course) which was a wonderful touch. The wedding and reception were both held at the University of Minnesota’s McNamara Alumni Center. It was a spectacular evening, and I wish the three of you the happiest of days ahead!

This wedding has to be one of my favorites to date! Shanelle is gorgeous, and looked so absolutely stunning in her wedding dress..she reminded me of the Princess Bride. She and Chris were so relaxed and made their wedding day joyful for everyone around them. The love they have for each other and the love surrounding them by their families was a beautiful thing. Their wedding and reception took place at Silverwood Park, which was such a great setting. Although the day was hot and humid, they breezed through it with so many smiles. What they have together is truly special, and I was so thrilled to document their wedding day.
I spent a very inspiring weekend at a wedding photography workshop taught by the lovely and talented Emily Steffen. Several generous vendors lent their time and talent to our shoot, and to them I am very appreciative. The cake and goodies were created by Shauna Younge Dessert Table, the many paper goods and styling by Bethany Hway, models hair and makeup by Aubrey Thoren and especially the adorable (already Mr. & Mrs.) couple, Kayla and Elliott. Still so in love, they were a dream to photograph! I gained not only loads of knowledge, but made some friends in the process which made the weekend even better.
Brrrrr! The cold cold January temperatures kept us inside for photos, but we found some fun and interesting places to be. Westminster has such a beautiful sanctuary and it was warm inside! Maggie was a very traditional bride and wanted Jake to see her for the first time as she walked down the aisle. He was truly beaming when he saw her. I was thrilled to shoot this winter wedding with my talented friend, photographer Julia Auerbach (juliaauerbachphotography.com).
I had the pleasure of photographing this wedding with my friend the talented Julia Auerbach {juliaauerbachphotography. com}. Lindsay was such a fun bride, and her laugh made me smile. And the shoes… I just loved the shoes! Danny was more reserved and serious, but they compliment each other beautifully. Congratulations to you both and happy days ahead!
