If anyone is out there, still reading my blog, thank you for sticking with me! It has been soooo long since I have posted anything on here, and I apologize for the radio silence. The good news is it's been a busy year and I have so much to share with you! I have the pleasure of getting a glimpse into the lives of so many wonderful people, and I want to share their stories with you. In an attempt to catch up and move forward, I am actually going back to 2014 and share some of my favorite photographs from that year. I am in the process of giving my website a makeover (I will announce this soon!) and there will be a new blog where I will share all of my favorites from 2015 and on! Thanks for sticking with me guys, enough talking, now onto why you are here ...

nan & jordan's wedding
Ever since their engagement photos, I have been so excited for Nan and Jordan's wedding, and it was even more fun than I imaged it would be! Their wedding took place in Detroit Lakes at the beautiful Fair Hills Resort (which has been in Nan's family for generations). What made their venue so special was that Fair Hills is the place that they first met when they were kids and their story began. I always love meeting people's family and friends, and this group was a blast. (Also it made me really wish I had 6 siblings!) Their wedding day was truly perfect complete with a harvest moon reflecting over the lake. Nan and Jordan, I am so grateful to have met you (and all of your people). Thank you for trusting me to capture your amazing wedding day!

emily & alex's wedding
Emily & Alex's wedding took place at the beautiful, newly remodeled Orchestra Hall. It was a fabulous day from start to finish with the ladies getting ready in the gorgeous space of L'atelier Couture to every thoughtful detail in place thanks to Mimi Weddings. Emily looked radiant in her Tara Latour gown and Alex (and all of guests for that matter) looked dapper in their black tie attire. Alex and Emily are absolutely adorable together and it was truly a pleasure to capture their amazing wedding day!

ashley & jeremy's wedding
Ashley and Jeremy are honestly the sweetest people you will ever meet! They were such a joy to photograph together at their Engagement Session, I knew the wedding would be a blast. They had a beautiful summer wedding with the reception at the lovely Bayview Event Center on Lake Minnetonka. Ashley and Jeremy, thank you so much for letting me a part of your special day!

puppy love
A little late to the game (per usual) I realized it was 'National Dog Day' yesterday! Ever since I can remember, I have loved all of the puppies and they have loved me. I also love when people post photos of their dogs, from the most handsome to the snarliest, show me all of those stinky friends. So I couldn't help myself from sharing a few photographs of some of the four legged friends I've had the pleasure of meeting over the years.

katie & sam's wedding
I've been looking forward Katie and Sam's wedding, ever since we had so much fun at their Engagement Session. They are the type of people who laugh easily and often, especially when they are together. They had the backdrop of romantic St. Paul for their wedding, with the reception at Church of the Assumption and the reception at the elegant St. Paul Hotel. Katie was beautifully natural and glamorous at the same time, she had a movie star quality. (Or maybe I just couldn't stop thinking how much she looks like Carrie Underwood!) Katie and Sam, you are a wonderful couple, I am so happy for you! Thank you for letting me capture this incredible day for you!

melissa & andy's wedding
Melissa and Andy's wedding took place in beautiful Nisswa Minnesota, a place that is very special to them. Not only does Melissa's family have a cabin there, but she also grew up going to summer camp there at Camp Lake Hubert. Andy had the brilliant idea to propose to Melissa at that camp, and from then on they knew they wanted to have their wedding there. Their wedding day could not have been more perfect from the blue skies and lakes, to the stunning reception at Grand View Lodge. Do not miss that grooms cake, and also Melissa's fabulous change of outfits! Thank you Melissa and Andy for sharing lovely Nisswa with everyone, and for letting us be a part of your incredible wedding day!

jess & greg's wedding
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Greg's wedding, and it was as elegant and sophisticated as it was warm and fun. Jess looked radiant in her Vera Wang gown and her light-up-a-room smile. Greg was a true gentleman (those Iowa boys), I even caught him taking a photo of her on his phone! The ceremony and reception were held at the Calhoun Beach Club with every gorgeous detail in place. Check out those unique place card holders! Thank you Jess and Greg for trusting me to capture this unforgettable day for you!
