Bronte & Andrew's Aster Cafe / River Room Wedding

When I was starting to think photography could actually be "what I do" Bronte was a senior in High School. I still remember making those rad portraits with her. Now she's married and I had the privilege of photographing her wedding. More from this recent, Aster Cafe wedding, coming soon!

Nick & Kate's Minneapolis waterfront wedding

I had the joy of documenting a formal wedding near downtown Minneapolis last weekend. Nick and Kate were looking amazing and most family and friends traveled from the east coast to celebrate these two. The rain held off and the band played late. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to hang with the entire day. Much thanks to my friend, Thea. Some of the photos in this post are hers.  

Tara LaTour Fashion Show / L'atelier Couture Bridal Boutique / Minneapolis, MN

Recently, I had a great opportunity to photograph a local bridal fashion show for Rivets and Roses (a local wedding photography studio I work for). About a month before the show I met with Tara and listened to her explain the vision behind this collection of dresses and what she desired for photography coverage of the event. Its always a great meeting when certain words or phrases are used in relation to photography…

"behind the scenes"

"real"

"document"

"whatever you want"

"I trust you"

…and when there's a good fit and everyones on board, collaborating can be one of the most rewarding experiences out there. There were SO many people involved with this event.  I've included a list of vendors at the end of this blog post and I encourage you to check everyone out. Well, here are some of the moments I saw. If you didn't go, you missed out on a great show! Thanks for the support everyone. Livin the dream.

Now that you've seen the photos, check out this amazing film made by my good friend Chris Martin of Sky Focus Films. And tons of others made this event so special...
