The Grand Northfield Wedding

Brent and Heather are HUGE Nascar fans, in fact so much so, they watch all the races together. It was no surprise that they wanted to showcase something that was close to their hearts, Brent’s Challenger. There were even little traces of races in their wedding decor, the guests waved “finish line” flags when they finished saying I do. Brent’s dog Marley, is also a big part of their lives. So much so, that when Brent proposed Marley was involved! Marley was playing “fetch” and inside the ball was the ring for Heather. Marley asked Heather on the ball “Will you be my Mom?”. Of course the answer was “YES!” I really enjoyed being able to be a Next Chapter Winery New Prague Wedding Photographer, I grew up in the area and was excited to be able to jump at the chance!

Makaela is one of the most laid back brides I have ever worked with, which worked out really well, because it rained the day of their wedding!! They say it’s suppose to be good luck, but no bride wants to hear that. She is so laid back then when her and Alex were camping with friends and he proposed, her answer was “well duh, it’s about time”. Alex and Makaela are both very funny people, and when they are together there is always a lot of laughter and giggling. I have no doubt in my mind that there will be endless times of joy in this couples future!

I may be a little biased because Nana is so close to my heart, but I LOVED this family/maternity session. Over the past couple years, I have been blessed to become closer to Nana. With her second pregnancy coming closer to the end, we wanted to incorporate a little bit of a maternity into her family session. She is absolutely glowing! We added a little bit of fun at the end of the session tossing some blue confetti, any guess to what they are having?!

Stella-Sarah and Travis’ dog is a HUGE part of their lives. We included her in their engagement session last year, and it was a blast! Sarah and Travis were heading out of town, and Travis suggested they go for a walk before they left. They headed to a open meadow that isn’t too far from their house. They let Stella off the leash and walked around, when they neared a tree, Travis pointed out there was something on it. As they got closer, Sarah noticed there was carving in the tree, it read “Will you marry me?”, when she turned around, Travis was on one knee. Sarah of course, said “YES!”.

When I met Sarah and Travis, we had an instant connection. As we talked about their venue, it made me even more excited. I love photographing as a Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard Wedding Photographer. It is such a beautiful place to photograph, and close to home for me!

Nicole and David both like to play competitive sports. They first met when they were playing in a beer pong tournament, and Nicole’s drive to win in one of the things that David loves most about her. One of the things they enjoy doing together is playing darts. This is also the opportunity that David chose to propose to Nicole. They had picked out a ring together weeks before, and then as they were leaving for a tournament, he popped the question. David was a perfect gentleman and made sure to ask Nicole’s dad for permission first. What an amazing guy! This was my first time photographing as a New Brighton Wedding Photographer, and I can surely say it didn’t disappoint!

Eden Prairie Engagement Photographer

Elaine and Mark wanted their engagement session to feel really natural. A lot more interaction and not a whole lot of eye contact with the camera. I absolutely LOVED this idea! I like to feel like my sessions look natural and not overly posed so it was a great opportunity to be able to showcase this. Staring Lake Park has become one of my new favorite places as an Eden Prairie Engagement Photographer, it has so many different scene options and it’s in the middle of the city. Who would have ever thought?!

Brittany and Micah are one of the most adorable couples! I know that it can be intimidating when there is a camera photographing, but these two were amazing! They are so comfortable and content together that it wasn’t hard to bring that out to show. When I asked them to kiss, I could tell instantly that these two were truly and madly in love. Their chemistry is undeniable! The location at Ritter Farm Park was great for an engagement session, the greenery and fall colors were really coming in. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or weather!

Shannon and Phil are one of the most unique couples I have ever met! They are always laughing together, and they have so many activities they do together. During the engagement session, it is a great time for me to get to know my couples a little bit better. This was a perfect opportunity as a Hidden Falls St Paul Engagement Photographer to get to know them. Shannon and Phil really like my night shots, so we planned half of the session during sunset and then the second half at night. It really showed off the lights in St. Paul!

I have quickly become friends with Rob and Jessica, they are such a fun couple to be around. They are upbeat, love to joke and always wanted to incorporate in photographs, the fact there is an obvious height difference! Another quirk that these two have is what they do for date night, they head to Target! That’s right people, this model couple is no different than any other couple. Rob is a closet romantic, I don’t know if he would even admit it. I noticed it through the little things he did for Jessica and also the way he treats her. When he proposed to her, he said her name in entirety and then asked if she would put up with him for the rest of her life. Of course, Jess said “yes”!

I have shot many weddings as a Minneapolis Marriott Southwest wedding photographer, and each one I fall in love with again. It is such a hidden gem of a hotel, the staff is always accommodating. Another amazing perk to this hotel is the beautiful ballrooms!

Threshers Wedding

Maggie and Will have been together for quite some time, over nine years! A lot can happen in nine years, including a wonderful addition to their relationship in their son, Oliver. When Will proposed to Maggie, there were A LOT of roses involved. Will had a plan when Maggie arrived home from work, it was like a scavenger hunt, and what she kept finding was dozens and dozens of roses. When she arrived at the final “finding place” Will was waiting for her. He was so excited that he popped the question immediately! I always ask people what they love most about the other, and Will and Maggie had so many amazing things to say about each other. These two are clearly meant to be, they are each other’s missing puzzle pieces!

This was my first time as a Scott County Threshers Wedding Photographer, and I had a great time! I have grown up attending the Thresher’s Bee and I have never seen it transformed into such a wonderful place- and for a wedding!
