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.

Emily & Grant's Minneapolis Couple's Session

It’s really funny how lives intersect. There was probably no way my life would’ve intersected with Emily and Grant’s without so many other things happening years ago. When we decided to remodel our new home (which is a story for another day) we hired a couple designers to help (which is a story for another day). A few years after getting this design help, I photographed a space (Yoga Sol) for Kristin, one of the designers who helped at our home and helped design Yoga Sol. We needed a model for a few of those photos and turns out, Emily was that model. Shortly after our shoot for Yoga Sol, she reached out and mentioned she was engaged and looking for a photographer. One thing led to another and now I have the privilege of being their photographer. Connections really are key to most work I get. I don’t advertise. I put all of myself into my photography and I hope people see and feel this and then tell others. I’m so thankful for the relationships and time that went into bringing Emily and Grant across my path and I hope you see your part in all this as well. I cannot. I repeat, CANNOT do this without you. Your voice. Your response to the photographs I leave behind. It’s a humbling and joy-filled partnership. Thank You.

OK, here are a bunch of my favs from our time wandering around a park in Minneapolis. We were on the hunt for a budding fruit tree towards the end of the evening, but alas…it didn’t work out. BUT, there are a handful of photos from some random hill, with the last few frames on a roll of film, that I absolutely love and feel really shows their hearts towards one another that night. It always works out in the end.

Lindsey & Tuyen's Camrose Hill Flower Farm Wedding

It’s forecasted to be sunny and 73 tomorrow in Minneapolis. In honor of what feels like a day I could legitimately wear shorts for the first time in 6 months, I’m posting a favorite wedding from last year. Tuyen and Lindsey are the kindest souls on the planet and it was such a pleasure photographing their beautiful Friday tea ceremony and Saturday wedding at Camrose Hill Flower Farm . I’m all about the random sequence of photos thing again, so enjoy this randomized blog post full of moments from Tuyen & Lindseys big day. Thanks for the support, friends!
