Sponsel’s

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!

Long Lake Regional Park

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!

Raspberry Island Engagement Session

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!

In Home Session

Being a newborn photographer is such a joy for me! I love to see new little humans forming their features and personalities. Jackson’s Daddy was in the military and is a Officer, so we wanted to make sure to include that in the session. Also, another little touch was the big panda. When Jackson’s Mommy and Daddy didn’t know the gender, they called him “Panda”. I absolutely love how it looks like the panda is holding him!

I love the little knit newborn outfits, and Amazon is great for them (and everything, really).

Golden Oak Farm Wedding Photographer ~ Webster ~ Toni & Eli’s Wedding Photography

Webster

Eli and Toni are such a fun couple to be around, Toni is a bit shy but when Eli is around, her personality shines. He definitely brings out the best in her, and her whole face just lights up. One of the quirkiest aspects of their relationship is that they do “little kid” things together to fill their time; paint by number, and playing with clay. Toni said that when Eli proposed to her, it was just like out of a Disney movie. There were birds chattering, geese nesting, deer, baby ducklings and a beautiful lake. They were having a great time after a casual date night (Toni’s favorite kind of date), and Eli grabbed her hand, whirled her around (I can only imagine a Disney Princess whirl), knelt down and asked her to marry him. I think these two definitely got their happily ever after!
