There is something magical about a hidden falls engagement session. This place has everything I love – woods and water and stone and earth – and it is filled to bursting with the most incredible light. Every time I walk through these old woods, I can’t help but revel in the history here and think of those who have wandered these paths over the course of years long since passed. How many people walked here, searching, hunting, dreaming. If I close my eyes and sit quietly, the emotion trapped within this place becomes palpable. It lingers sweetly on the back of my eyelids and hums in my ears. At times I swear I can still hear the quiet echo of children chasing wild through the thickness of summer heat, the damp air clinging to their clothes as they rush to the river for a swim. I am completely in love with this...
catie + tim’s madison engagement | an evening at tenney park
I met Catie a few months ago my gmail inbox. She sent me an email about her wedding, but not really. She talked about Tim, the love of her life, and about how they were excited to be married. To be surrounded by friends and family in a city where they met and fell head over heels for one another. I was hooked instantly. Catie and Tim are my kind of people. Heartfelt. Authentic. Kind. Super double hilarious. And most of all, they are wildly crazy for each other. Last Thursday night we walked around Tenney Park in Madison, as the sun dipped low in the sky, and we talked and laughed and danced and then laughed some more. Then they sat out on a dock and promised to never give up. Promised to love each other always. Promised that though it would be hard sometimes, their love would always...
one hundred million years | jena + steve’s minneapolis engagement
I’d like you to meet Jena and Steve. Or, rather, I’d like you to InterMeet them. I promise you’ll want to be their friends. They are the embodiment of all the awesome things people say about amazing couples. They are the kind of people that you fall helplessly in love with the second you meet them. Fun. Energetic. Magnificently kind and warm. Best of all, they are crazy in love. Not in the over-the-top-all-over-each-other-touchy-feely-loud-boisterous way, but rather in a remarkable calm, comfortable, we’re-never-giving-up-on-each-other-no-matter-what kind of way. They are getting married in a little under one month on a Minnesconsin mountaintop, surrounded by their closest friends and family, and I cannot believe I am lucky enough to be with them on their wedding day. These two are magic. But don’t listen to me, see for yourself....
Chekelea + Todd’s Mad Men Engagement Session
My youngest cousin Todd is getting married next June to an amazing woman, and I couldn’t be more excited to have Chekelea as a cousin-in-law. They are both big Mad Men fans and wanted to capture that in their engagement session, so we spent an hour in one of Minneapolis’ most swanky and 60’s-esque estaurants, Jax Cafe. Chek+Todd, I cannot wait for your June wedding – and I hope you love these images....
