Here you can find recent story sessions, love stories, or even updates on my life! After all, what is a world without stories? Here are some of mine.

Amanda + Luke’s Creekside Farm Wedding

Amanda + Luke got to tie the knot at one of my personal dream venue locations in Minnesota. Creekside offered us so many beautiful backdrops – fields, flowers, forests, hiking paths, rivers, bridges, and – my personal favorite – Willow trees. I knew Amanda in high school and it was so great reconnecting and documenting […]

Mija + Taylor’s Pinewood Wedding

Mija + Taylor got married at Pinewood Weddings and Events in Cambridge – a modern venue set again a pine forest with all the cozy and comfy touches. They had to plan this wedding over and over until Covid gave them enough of a break to finally get married. These two were meant for each […]

Kristen + Tanner – Celeste Hotel St Paul

Planning a Covid wedding is no small feat. Kristen + Tanner worked hard to keep their wedding hopes high and they wound up with a beautiful winter day at the Celeste hotel in St Paul. It may not have been their original plan, but I like to think this turned out even better than original […]

Foster Care Update : February 2021

Well friends it finally happened…

I got the call and about 2 hours later my first 3 kids were arriving. And y’all – I was signed up for kids 4-10 and was given 9, 13, and 15. Insert big eyes here. Going from living alone to a household of four was jarring but completely welcome. I wasn’t ready to navigate teenhood, but really who is, and I am up for a challenge.

2020 Wedding Highlights

WHAT. A. YEAR.Never in my wildest dreams did I think a worldwide pandemic would hit during my lifetime. But here we are. And love persisted in wild and beautiful ways. Take a peek at all of the amazing love stories I got to photograph this year despite the world pandemic-ing around them!

Winter Insterstate State Park Engagement Session | Emily + Brodie

Winter engagement sessions are always so beautiful. Throw in left over Midwest fall beauty on the trees and it’s truly a special treat. We took to Taylors Falls for Emily + Brodie’s photos and had a blast. They were naturals and we had so much fun! They get married today, and I’m so looking forward […]

Twin Cities Engagement Session | Develle + Marques

Today is Develle + Marques’ wedding day and I’m so excited to celebrate them! In honor of that, I’m remembering their engagement session in St Paul from this winter. M+D had their first date at this Dunn Bros in St Paul so we returned for coffee shop engagement photos! We found some really beautiful nooks […]

Backyard Minnesota Wedding | Maggie + Logan

Covid has nothing on these two. Theirs is the story of two hearts that found each other in Highschool who compliment each other so well and care for each other at 110% all the time. Their community surrounding them was nothing short of amazing: pulling together a drive through surprise to celebrate Maggie + Logan […]

Theodore Wirth Park Minimony | Emily + Adam

I love seeing my couples make their day their own. Emily + Adam’s wedding was supposed to be a large gathering with all their friends and family, and while that wedding is still happening later this winter, they opted to still say their vows on their initial wedding date. Covid has been a monster, messing […]
