June 29 may have been one of the hottest days of the summer, but Katherine + Stuart made it through flawlessly-and of course, with a side of air-conditioning. The two were married at the beautiful Basilica in downtown Minneapolis, and their reception took place at the stunning venue of Woodhill Country Club. It was such […]

One of my favorite things about my jobs are the people I meet, the connections I make, and the places it brings me. I met Kristen + Steve through Steve’s brother and sister-in-law at their wedding a few years back, and was thrilled when they asked me to come to Chicago and capture their beautiful […]

If there is a definition of “picture perfect August wedding day,” Krista + Jake’s wedding would fit the mold. The sun was shining, it was the perfect temperature, and these two were surrounded by an incredible army of friends and family. We wandered the streets of St. Anthony Main, and made our way over to […]

When Kelsey + Paul told me about their wedding day, I was instantly in love with their vision. After initial plans for a large wedding, these two realized something small and intimate was more suited for who they are and what they truly wanted for their day.

I met these two just over a year ago at Lynhall and knew in an instant we had a good thing going. Kelsey + Mike are some of the kindest people I have ever met, with the sweetest hearts for their family and friends-and especially one another. Their wedding at the end of May at […]

I only had one wedding in April-but I was looking forward to the day with Emily + Dave for months leading up to it. The two of them are one of the sweetest pairs, who instantly made me feel like family. We grabbed coffee, we grabbed beer, and connected the dots that we knew about […]

The beginning of March started perfectly with Dana + Joe’s wedding at Aria in Minneapolis. The two of them have known each other since they were in the same Kindergarten class, so needless to say, it was a pretty special day to capture. From best friends, to dating in college, to now getting married-the love […]

Remember these two?! They were the genius couple who starred in one of my favorite engagement sessions at the Minnesota State Fair (refresh your memory here). Well, their wedding day was nothing less than exceptionally beautiful, and I once again, loved being behind the lens capturing it all for these two. And can we just […]

The first time I met Amy + Josh was in Chicago for their engagement session. It just so happened to work out perfectly, as my sister lives in the city, and we were able to connect and take photos in the city they live. Then last month, we switched up cities as they tied the […]

There are hardly words to be able to full describe what experiencing Taylor + Ryan’s wedding was like. Taylor is technically my cousin-but she’s so much more than that. We grew up down the road from each other and were 5 months apart…needless to say-we were best friends and experienced so much of life together. […]

It was one of those wedding days where rain was in the forecast at about a 99% chance, so we bought umbrellas and mentally prepared for a downpour. But if you’re a true Minnesotan, you know nothing is ever for SURE, and often times, the forecast is usually opposite the day of. Which means, you […]
