I’ve been staring at a flashing cursor for more minutes than I can count because the truth is, I have no words. Or at least not the right ones. Aaron and Nicole’s Gale Woods Farm wedding was one of the most fun wedding days since ever. Full of laughter, friendship, lawn games, and ice cold beer. Sure, it was three thousand degrees outside. Sure the venue wasn’t air conditioned. But there was love. An abundance of it in fact. So much love that it spilled over and infected everything. By the end of the day my cheeks hurt from smiling, and despite the sweaty stickiness, I couldn’t help but hug both Aaron and Nicole goodbye more than a couple of times. There may have been some honest-to-goodness squeezing, too. Nicole. Aaron. I adore you, and I absolutely loved shooting your wedding day. I hope you’re having the most amazing adventures...
An Etsy Wedding : An Inspiration Wedding Shoot
I’ve been dreaming about the day I’d get to shoot this – a wedding designed and conceptualized and styled by yours truly. A wedding inspiration shoot that was only possible because of the collaborative efforts of some seriously amazing people. So many talented creatives and professionals came together to make this a success, and my bestie Nadia with A Fine Fete Events helped channel my scattered and ADD ideas (oh, look! something shiny!) into more than I could have possibly imagined. From a custom made wedding gown, to rare pink roses and succulents, to perfectly matched desserts and expertly designed paper goods, a host of Etsy artisans and a few local vendors joined forces and enabled me to create something that completely exceeded my expectations, and over the course of the evening, allowed me to capture so of my most favorite images. Ever. This could not have been even remotely...
Kristin+dave’s West End Wedding
Kristin+Dave are the kind of people you feel like you’ve known forever. They have an ease about them – a warmth that is inviting. They are funny. Sarcastic. Witty. Quick to tell (and take) a joke. They are exactly my kind of people. I had the most amazing time with them last Saturday at their wedding in Minneapolis’ West End neighborhood. So. Much. Fun. Kristin and her bridesmaids are some of the most fun girls I’ve had the pleasure of spending a Saturday with, and I wish this day would have lasted forever. It started in a hip downtown salon (Jungle Red), and after a church ceremony (and a quick stop at a pub for a pint) we ended the evening in a lovely hotel ballroom beautifully and painstakingly designed and decorated by A Fine Fete Events. Kristin and Dave’s wedding day was filled with light, full of laughter, and...
the spirit is joy – whitney+greg
I met Whitney moments before I moved from Austin back to Minneapolis. We had some cocktails, shared a plate of buffalo wings, and engaged in a whole lot of girl talk. We became instant pals, and I was sad that we didn’t have more time together before I left the Lone Star State. During our evening of chatter and wine, Whitney told me about Greg; her insane love for him, her wish to be engaged, the way he makes her heart still beat fast then faster when he comes near her. She told me if they got married, she wanted me to capture her day. I couldn’t say no. Her spirit is absolutely infectious, and watching the features on her face change whenever Greg’s name came into conversation I knew that hers, theirs was a love story I was desperate to tell. Greg and Whitney were married this past Saturday...
