You could feel the love Seriously, you could. I’ve photographed a ton of weddings and while there are always elements of each celebration that stick with me long after I depart, the feeling of love was strong and fierce. For Rachael and Derek’s big day, I will always remember this feeling that hovered over the […]
Let’s talk about editing and the importance of understanding your photographer’s style. I’m going to preface the following information with this statement: There is no WRONG answer here. Photographers and their editing style is as unique and personal as looking at the creative styles of artists who create pottery, watercolor paintings, or floral design. In […]
Megan REALLY wanted an autumn engagement shoot. When we got the sudden burst of winter (which is known to happen in the midwest), we switched gears a tad. Who would have thought that we would get the beautiful autumn leaves that were still clinging on for dear life, along with the crisp, bright snow? While […]
When you have two people who each grew up in rural, Wisconsin towns, pick up everything and move to Florida so the bride can follow her dreams – you know this is a special kind of love. I first met Cydney and Adam back at Adam’s sister Kristin (and Mike’s) wedding last fall. They hired […]

We had an absolutely beautiful day up on Hale Lake in Grand Rapids, Minnesota where Meg and Brent got married at their home in front of family and friends. As with many of the weddings this season, some adjustments were made to accommodate our current circumstances – but for the most part, the day looked […]
The groom’s last name is Champagne. For real. If that doesn’t set the stage for this classy, decadent, elegant, beautiful day – I don’t know what will. I’ve been photographing the Bride’s family for years. Starting with graduation photos through family photos to the privilege of being a part of their 2nd daughter’s proposal and […]
