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...

Had such a perfect time adventuring with these two in Sioux Falls, SD. Sweet company, great coffee and fresh snow laden scenery helped make for a collection of gorgeous images. Love this job.

Dori Family / St. Paul, MN

I could write a novel about the Dori family. They mean a lot to me for many reasons. I met Roee about 4 years ago, shortly after they moved to MN from New York. I was assisting him on a wedding and brought along more gear than him and I'm sure he was wondering if I even knew how to use it. Fortunately for me, he kept asking me back.  Over the years a great friendship developed. We've photographed 30+ weddings together and experienced both highs and lows together. I've learned so much from him and was blown away when he asked me to photograph his family. His wife is a rockstar designer for IKEA and because of this, the family was moving to Sweden. We spent our time hanging out in their St. Paul home and along the parkway nearby. I dearly miss this fam and I'm so grateful to have this collection of photographs to remind me of them. If you are interested in booking a family portrait session and want more info, check out my new investment section. Winter is a great time to book a session in your home and it might be warm enough to venture outside as well. I'm currently offering 10% off during the months of February and March. Thanks so much for your support!
