Abbey and Nick are my kinda people – willing to drive three hours from home to adventure to a place they’d never been before to take SUNRISE engagement photos with a photographer they’d never met. I applaud their bravery, because that’s kind of an intimidating situation! They were rewarded with a gorgeous sunrise, perfect golden […]

  You know when you meet someone and you just click? From the first time we met up to discuss their wedding, Lily and Mitchell felt like old friends! They are both so kind, goofy, welcoming and down to earth #mypeople!! I knew we’d have a blast at their engagement session because these two are […]

  Two of my favorite things about engagement sessions: the time and freedom to explore a new spot with my couple, and couples who are down to earth and willing to go with the flow! Nate and Caroline absolutely knocked their engagement session out of the park – which is especially impressive because about 10 […]

For Ben and Niki’s engagement session, we spent some time exploring a Spring Brook Nature Center in Fridley. They met at work, and when they were first getting to know each other, they would often stop by this park after work and walk around together. Throughout our session they would point out different spots that […]

  The word that comes to mind when I think about Nick and Carol’s wedding day is heartfelt. They are a very fun, silly couple but their love is clearly so heartfelt and deep. It was so fun to document all of the expressions of the day – from an ecstatic first look, to emotional […]

SO many of my couples ask me about day-of coordinators. Are they worth it? Isn’t that what my venue coordinator does? Can I ask a family member to do it? These are such good and important questions to consider as you plan your wedding! I asked my friend Melody of Events by Melody to answer […]

  View fullsize Brittany and I met our husbands around the same time a few years ago – and I remember sitting at a baby shower with her and as we dished about our love lives, both whispering, “I think he’s the one…!” Happy to say we were both right 🙂 As you can see […]

  Last Monday I participated in my first ever styled shoot! You may be wondering – what the heck is a styled shoot?? I will explain below! Great question if you’re not in the wedding industry! A styled shoot is when wedding vendors come together to create a beautiful scene that is photographed. Then these […]

  Last Saturday Kate, Dustin and I explored Saint Paul for their engagement photos! I’m not as familiar with Saint Paul as I am with Minneapolis, so it was fun to check out some new spots! We started at Harriet Island Regional Park. We lucked out with beautiful early spring weather, which was so fun! […]

  Today is a very exciting day! I am launching a new website for We Do Wedding Videography! They are a truly talented duo – I hired them for my wedding last September and absolutely LOVED the video they created for our wedding day. They were also just lovely people to spend the day with! […]
