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!

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! […]

  Any Minnesotan knows that doing outdoor engagement photos this winter is RISKY! Old Man Winter has been throwing curveballs at us left and right- but somehow we managed to pick the PERFECT day! 32 degrees, zero wind, fresh snowfall. We tromped (literally) around Lakefront Park and got a lot of variety with location! Mary […]

I have learned these both during my own wedding planning process, as well as working with my wedding photography clients over the years. Hire a day-of coordinator! Hear me […]

Hi friends! I usually only use my blog to share my photography work, but I thought it might be fun to get to know me a little more through occasional personal posts. And what better time to start than on our two year swipe-iversary! We swiped right on Bumble two years ago today – I […]

  Oh, how I love taking senior portraits! Especially when Minnesota shows off with such gorgeous colors. Brenna and I did two sessions together – summer and fall! It was so fun to get to know her and hear about her senior year and college plans. When you’re a decade out from high school, it’s […]
