rebecca and phil's wedding

Rebecca and Phil had their ceremony and reception at the newly renovated Calhoun Beach Club.  After the ceremony she surprised him with a ride in an antique Rolls Royce and we took a few minutes to drive around lake Calhoun and take a few photos.  I really enjoyed their engagement session so I was not surprised that the wedding was equally fun.  Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day!

trick or treat

This little monkey and banana are my Halloween treat this year.  They are my nephews, and I cannot even handle how cute they are!!!

smirk

It feels like yesterday I was photographing Riley as a new born baby who fit carefully in his Dad's one hand.  Now he is an adorable toddler and I get the biggest kick out of him.  He always seems to have this sweet little smirk on his face it just melts your heart.

color

This is the first time I have photographed the Siedschlag family and I had a great time with them (and their sweet dogs).  Their daughter Jaine  just turned one year and she is ever curious and so cute.  From the dogs coats to the beautiful fall leaves, I loved the colors from this day.

 

meghan and matt's wedding

Meghan and Matt were married at Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Minneapolis and afterward had an intimate dinner reception at Vincents just up the block.  The church was packed full of people who love both of them, and the dinner party was filled with stories and high praises.  They are outstanding individuals, and are even more exceptional together.  Thank you for sharing your wedding day with me, I was honored to be a part of it.

angie and bobby's wedding

Angie and Bobby were married at the Shepard of the Valley church in Apple Valley and their reception was at Crystal Lake Golf Club in Lakeville.  There fall color scheme along with the fall colors outside made for a beautiful wedding day.  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your special day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

at the falls

I have been taking photos of the Vedepo family since before the kids were born and it has been so much fun to see them grow as a family.  Peyton especially had a great time at Minehaha Falls dancing around and posing for me.  She loves her little brother Quinn and is very proud to hold him and give him kisses.  Quinn just seems to be happy with everything, and it made for a fun day at the falls!

rainbow

The day we planned to do the Strauch's family photos it was gray and rainy all day.  We started out indoors, but sure enough just as the sun was about to set it broke through... the rain stopped... and we got this brilliant rainbow and sunset.  This family has an amazing spirit and love for each other, and apparently an ability to will the weather.  Guys, can you work on getting us a few good days in January?

colin and katie's wedding

Colin and Katie were married at the 490 Summit Mansion in St. Paul.  These two have truly been a family since their son Liam was born over two years ago, so it was really neat to witness how special this day was for them to officially celebrate their union.  It was a gorgeous fall day and as you can tell by the smiles, everyone had a wonderful time.  Katie has great style so I was honored that she asked me to capture her wedding day... here is how it looked from my angle.

I loved how Katie was so excited to see Liam, that she just picked him right up with out even caring about her wedding dress.  Although you'd never guess it, Colin and best man John are twins.
 In case you couldn't tell by their adorable matching smiles, Katie and Beth are sisters.

 

baby girl

The Stromstad family invited me into their home to take photos of their new baby girl Signey.  It was so obvious how excited they are to have her and much she is loved.  I loved this little hoodie outfit on her, so cute!
