Three Rivers Park Wedding

This month’s weddings have all been at ski chalets – which I absolutely love being a Hyland Hills Wedding Photographer. Three Rivers Park Weddings are always beautiful, and there is never a shortage of green! Megan and Matt both have extremely contagious laughs, and are so much fun to be around. Matt is a bit of a jokester, and apparently has quite a following on snapchat for his “no whey” snaps when him and Megan are grocery shopping, and in the protein powder aisle. Matt’s proposal wasn’t quite planned when he popped the question. Megan and Matt were on the couch talking about becoming engaged, and Megan said if he was that serious they would be engaged already.  Matt pulled out the ring and popped the question, right then and there!

Minneapolis Maternity Photographer

One of the greatest things about being a Minneapolis Wedding Photographer is being able to grow with the couples! I started out photographing Emily and Reid’s engagement photography, then their wedding photography, now their maternity photography and soon their newborn photography! Being a Ritter Farm Park Photographer is always such a great event.  This parked is PACKED with places for amazing photos. As a Minneapolis Maternity Photographer, I always have some tricks up my sleeve for ideas, poses and places. This session was no different, as always Bauer was a big part of the shoot, he is going to be a big brother! Emily looks so adorable with her belly and Reid already has that new Dad shine to him.  I can’t wait to meet this little guy in a couple weeks!

Hastings Wedding

It’s a lot of work to plan a wedding, but the place to start is by selecting the venue.  For Kim and Ian, they knew right away where to get married: Afton Alps. The reason this was so easy for them is the special meaning behind it- it’s where they had their first date.  Both Kim and Ian enjoy golfing, so what a perfect, fun and casual way to have a first date.  Anyone that around Kim and Ian can see they share an amazing bond, and their relationship is truly based on friendship and affection. Afton Alps was such a gorgeous setting for a wedding and I can’t wait to be an Afton Alps Wedding Photographer again.  There are just so many places for photos, and everywhere the eye can see is green!

Brooklyn Park

What a fun reveal idea! The use of smoke bombs and a sparkler was a great way to announce the reveal of their soon-to-be born baby.  These two are excited to add another little boy to the mix! As a Gender Reveal Photographer, it was my pleasure to be able to photograph this milestone for this family!

First Baptism

Savage Photographer

I absolutely love being a part of family events. First baptisms are so special because of the symbolism behind it. Just being able to be a St John’s the Baptist Catholic Church Photographer and document this occasion with the people important in his life. One day now he will be able to look back on this occasion and have images to show what he can’t remember and the people that attended to show their support.

In Home Session

It’s not a birthday party until the safari animals have party hats! How cute are they?! I love being a birthday party photographer and photographing families.  It is so fun to be a part of such milestones in their lives.  This party had an ice cream bar and a theme.  It is always such a great reminder that we are all “fearfully and wonderfully” made.

Styled Shoot

Styled shoots are always such a great way for wedding vendors to get together and have a creative outlet.  This shoot was awesome, because Belle’s Event Center is a new venue! As a Belle’s Event Center Wedding Photographer, I am able to have full use of the grounds – I can not wait till the trees are blossoming, and the beauty inside the venue. We used dusty blue as the color for this shoot, and the flowers were amazing! We could not have asked for a nicer day with the blue sky in the orchard. Can’t wait for the opportunity to shoot a Belle Plaine Wedding here!

NACE Monthly Meeting

This was my second time photographing as a Van Dusen Mansion Photographer. The NACE monthly meetings are wonderful for myself to network, and for others in the wedding, catering and events industry and hospitality in general. This month the focus was on Historical Venues.  As a Minneapolis Mansion Photographer, I love photographing in these old buildings! They have such character. As a vendor, especially catering there are some obstacles, it was nice to have a panel to address it and let their venues shine!

New Prague Wedding

I am always excited when I have the chance to photograph as a Weddings at The Broz photographer. It is so close to home, and it is such a gorgeous building! Sam and Leah seriously just flow together. It was easy to pose them because their bodies were like puzzle pieces.  Sam and Leah had a small wedding with only 30 guests, it was beautiful and intimate. It’s rare for me to only photograph family and bride and groom portraits, but it was perfect for me and them!

Olive and Lemon Inspired Shoot ~ Minnetonka Wedding Photography ~ Minneapolis Marriott Southwest Wedding Photographer

Olive and Lemon Inspired Shoot

Styled shoots are such a great creative release for vendors in the wedding industry. We came up with the styled shoot that was inspired by olive green and lemon color, and actual lemons! We found a really great idea to use slate for the menus, table numbers and guest names. Also, since rose gold and gold have been super popular, we decided to go a completely different route of flat silver. The jewelry and the dress were a perfect tie in with the silver look we were going for. Shooting as a Minneapolis Marriott Southwest Wedding Photographer is one of my favorite places.  It is such a hidden gem! There is an area in the hotel that I would have never thought to shoot in before – the pool! The photos of the bride in front of the window with the snow – WOW!!!
