Minneapolis is an integral part of their story, so Miki + Kristel + I met at Boom Island Park last Monday night for their engagement session. We found triangles and teepees and wildflowers and woods and had an absolute blast. Here are a few of my favorites from their session:...
this is the story of liz + nick’s blue horse farm wedding.
Like most couples I have the honor of photographing, Liz and Nick have an incredible story (and happen to be two incredible and giving people). They met through a friend of Nick’s and when their first date ended with a game of cribbage Nick knew there was something different about Liz. Something he never wanted to let go of. So he didn’t. He held onto Liz, and she to him, and they’ve grown into an incredible team. Giving, honest, hilarious, with hearts that beat for others. I was beyond blessed to document their wedding at Blue Horse Farm. Here are a few of my favorite images from their beautiful day. ...
barefoot magic | a rural minnesconsin wedding along the cliffs of the saint croix river | rhiannon + aaron
I’ve spent the better part of a week trying to figure out how to word this blog post. How best to string adjectives and metaphors together to describe exactly what Aaron + Rhiannon’s wedding was. I could tell you that it was filled to bursting with love and magic and joy and wonder. It was. I could tell you how radiant Rhiannon looked in her one-of-a-kind custom wedding dress, and how dapper Aaron was in his tweed suit. They were.

I could tell you about the angry emu and Spotted Cow and rhinestones and Magnetic Fields songs. I could go on and on about the performance by Circus Juventas in the...
on breakfast and farmer’s markets | danielle + terry’s sunday morning engagement session
Engagement sessions are my favorite. It’s such a great way to get to know my clients (and turn them into my friends!) and get them acclimated to what it’s like in front of my lens. It also gives me a bit of insight into their day-to-day life. The bones of their story. You see, if you know anything about me by now, it’s that I wholeheartedly believe that your story isn’t about the wedding, but rather about the marriage. About who you became before you met, who you’re still becoming, and who you’re yet to be. Marriage isn’t a fairy tale, but it is still your story. Letting me into to pieces of it before your wedding day means I can tell it a little bit more authentically. And straight from my heart. Danielle and Terry purchased this home a year ago, and tore the entire first floor down to the studs....
