Jordan and Shanigne met me on this beautiful San Francisco beach for their engagement session. It was an iconic San Francisco Bay evening with the heavy fog rolling in. I loved how it created this moody atmosphere and allowed the two of them to just naturally play without needing too much guidance from me. When...
Mark and Lacey embraced their rural Central Minnesota roots and celebrated their wedding day at Lacey’s hometown of Staples and Mark’s hometown of Sobieski. We began the day at Lacey’s family farm before making our way to Sacred Heart in Staples. Their drive there and to the Event Center in Sobieski was certainly a highlight...
My favorite thing about being a photographer is the amazing people I get to meet along the way. I had the honor of photographing two of Nick’s brothers weddings over the past few years. And anyone who photographs weddings can attest to the fact that you arrive as strangers, but leave feeling like family, so...
Alexis and Andrew’s Mn North Shore elopement started off at the most adorable tiny home tucked away in the woods along the hillside of Lake Superior… hence the name Havens Northwoods Hillside Tiny Home! Minnesota’s North Shore is home to many cabins, lodges, campsites and hotels, but The Havens offer some of the greatest options...
Kyle and Nicole’s Point Reyes Wedding at Limantour Lodge ranks in the top 5 weddings I have ever had the honor of photographing!! And I have photographed over 500 so that says A LOT! The day was filled with joy, love and laughter from beginning to end. Even the crazy West Coast wind couldn’t wipe...
I only spent a couple hours with Kate and John at their intimate micro-wedding on the Linden Hill Historic Estate this Summer, but I left feeling like we were forever friends. They, along with their few selected friends and family members, gathered on the Historic Estate grounds in Little Falls, Minnesota on July 13, 2024....
Cray and Heather hosted the sweetest morning elopement at Catalyst by Naturelink in Nisswa, Minnesota. It was intentional, intimate and even eco-friendly. Heather put so much love, kindness and thought into every choice she made. If you want to ditch the $40,000-$80,000 traditional wedding that, according to New York Times, on average emits 57,152 kilograms of CO2, then check out...
After photographing weddings for 22 years, both traditional Minnesota weddings and intimate destination elopements, I realized my strength is interacting with people, making them feel comfortable, and helping them look their best through subtle but confident posing guidance, but honestly… my passion lies in documentary style photography. Where little to no posing is used. It’s...
Lindsey and Michael had the sweetest intimate wedding at Bluefin Bay Resort in Lutsen, Minnesota. Bluefin Bay Resort is named one of Minnesota’s top destination resorts and for good reason. It is perfectly situated on the rugged Lake Superior shoreline in-between some of the North Shore’s sweetest hiking spots, restaurants and adventures. “You’ll find that...
Trent and Nikki’s North Shore Elopement at Black Beach in Minnesota is one of the prettiest weddings I had the privilege of photographing. They chose to elope at the iconic black sand Beach in Silver Bay, and it was certainly showing off for us. Their family stood by their side as they exchanged vows on...
