I promise it’s worth your while.
Heartfelt Wedding at Gathered Oaks
It sounds cheesy, but it’s true - from the moment I met Danielle and Jim at a Caribou in the suburbs, I knew they were special. The deep love and respect they share for each other was quiet and unassuming, and they completely lit up as we discussed their wedding day vision; before long I felt like we were old friends, their kindness and gentle spirits wrapping me in a cozy hug to compliment my chai latte.
Jillian + John
John and Jill’s wedding took place on a perfect spring day in Minnesota. I was so excited to wake up to chirping birds and cheerful rays of sunshine - what a great start to the big day for such a special couple!
Creating a Wedding Day Timeline
Every wedding is unique, which is one of the reasons I love them so much! From indoor to outdoor ceremonies, dates during the summer or winter, and bridal parties of a single bridesmaid and groomsman to those with ten of the couple's best friends standing up on either side, the one thing that is consistent between all wedding days is the need for a schedule or timeline.
Emily + Joe
Since the happy couple met each other while working at Camp Luther in Wisconsin, their faith and camp backgrounds played huge parts in the day. Joe is studying to become a pastor, and the service was particularly meaningful with readings, music, and a sermon that truly highlighted their love of Christ and each other.
Erickson Farmstead
It was easy to see that the owners and staff have put their hearts into the continued restoration of the farmstead, as each room in the home is full of comfort and charm. The buildings each offer something spectacular, from chandeliers in the reception barn to the gorgeous natural light streaming in through the windows of the summer kitchen. If you’re looking for a rustic location on the north side of the metro, this may be the perfect place for you - they’ll welcome you in like family immediately.
Happy Easter 2018
Nzube + Jumoke
St. Anthony Main is easily one of my favorite areas - to both visit personally and to photograph. The quirky, colorful shops and cafes that line the river give a little extra flavor to the city, and the beautiful skyline view of downtown Minneapolis can’t be beat! It was the perfect location for this couple - urban, but with some soft touches that made it feel like it’s been their home far longer than the last few years.
