Tyler and Mikayla's Woodland Glasshaus Wedding

I’m not a writer, but Tyler is. Wedding photography isn’t an art form, so I don’t really call myself an artist (unless referring to more creative forms of photography and painting) but, Mikayla is. During our first meeting, I knew these two were going to care about photography and their wedding more than most might, which made it incredibly humbling to be invited to document it. They were very interested in having me use film, which excited me even more. Over time, plans changed with the wedding location, and more details were finalized. Soon enough, it was time to celebrate. There was so much beauty surrounding us that day. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this day happen, from the other vendors, to the wedding party and family. I typically come to serve on a wedding day, but I was out done by family and friends as I was cared for from the start on what ended up being a hot, June day. Here’s what I saw…

Mother Co Plants Wedding in NE Minneapolis

Jeff and Rachel had a smallish, beautiful wedding at Mother Co Plants in NE Minneapolis earlier this Spring. It was such an honor witnessing their plans unfold that day and proof you don’t always need an enormous, elaborate event but simply do what works within your budget and desires. On a side note, Mother Co Plants had closed shop for events for a while, but I was excited to see them open back up for these, because they truly have a gorgeous space that works really well for a smaller wedding or photoshoot. Thanks for following, everyone. I really appreciate your support.

Sadie & Brandon's Elopement / Taylors Falls, MN

I don’t photograph elopements often. Every time I do they are a welcomed change of pace, however. There is no one size fits all wedding. Every couple has unique desires but often, pressure from families or the industry in general can force couples to plan something more than they originally intended or wanted. I believe some couples want a huge party. Some want to elope. Some want everything in-between. It’s a joy photographing them all. It’s an incredible joy photographing a wedding that truly fits the couple and their desires. It’s like the plans are an extension of themselves and you can tell. My time with Sadie & Brandon felt like a true extension of their hearts and I’m so grateful they had me present with them and their close family. Here’s what I saw and documented. Hope you enjoy the photographs and if you are currently planning a wedding…make sure it includes enough of yourself that it’s an extension of who you are. Everyone from your guests to your vendor team will leave grateful and honored to have been there. Thanks for following!
