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…

Rovan Furniture / MN Museum of American Art

I had the privilege of making some rad photo’s with Andy, of Rovan…Hand Crafted Furniture on location at the MN Museum of American Art. Andy has a bunch of furniture installs in this location, but for this brief shoot we focussed on a table and stools. Need custom furniture? Check out Andy’s work, here.

Minneapolis Winter Engagement Session with Maria & Ryan.

With a blizzard approaching, we decided to simply hang out in Ryan and Maria’s home in North Minneapolis. The light and mood a home creates is very inspiring and I wish more couples would embrace it! After a little while, we got adventurous and drove to Interstate State Park, spur of the moment. Thankfully, we made it back just in time to grab a few photos outside, as the sun began to set and the snow started pouring down. This session felt like three-in-one in a lot of ways and i’m really pleased with the amount of variety in their photos. They did such a great job feeling the anxiousness at first, but pushing through and embracing the experience.
