Lauren & Phil's Paikka Wedding

I think it’s clear, Lauren and Phil loved being at their wedding. They kept things simple and to the point and everyone had a blast. While photographing weddings over the past 9 years, I’ve noticed a few things. A happy couple, inspiring surroundings, good food and drink, and a schedule that flows nicely are keys to pulling off a memorable wedding. Including a live band or great DJ to end the night is icing on the cake. Paikka was the perfect setting for this Spring wedding and Brasa fed us so well. DJ Michael Grey of Transmission Music kept the dance floor alive. Enjoy the pics!

Marce & Joe's Winter Camrose Hill Flower Farm Elopement

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of how the wedding photography season just slows to a complete halt in November in Minnesota. But, then you receive a random email in December about an elopement happening in two weeks and its busy and exciting all over again. I just love this job because I love couples like Marce and Joe. They inspire me by having the wedding they want and they were rewarded with a little dusting of snow, when it wasn’t even in the forecast. Winter wedding perfection if you ask me. My encouragement to couples soon to be married…have a wedding that inspires you and enjoy every minute of it. Even if its only 2 hours, on a snowy day in December.
