Wedding

Red Barn Farm Wedding Photography | Thea & Devon | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

The rain did not get Thea and Devon's moods down. Although the rain was there to stay up until sunset they both said their I do's  through the floating balloons that lined their ceremony and the jokes that Devon's best friend (and Officiant) shared through the entire ceremony that had everyone laughing. The Sweetest thing that I witnessed on their wedding day was that through the ceremony and the reception Thea signed the words for her dad. It was a beautiful gift that a daughter could give to her father and include him on such a big moment of the day. The reception had a rustic feel with Red Barn Farm's famous fire stone pizza's. Thea wore a blue modern crown with a textured dress, it may have been over the top for anyone else, but it really didn't feel that way on Thea. It was really a perfect fit that showed of such a beautiful bride. I shot this beautiful rainy barn wedding with Dawn Siva Photography.

Aria Wedding Photography | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Jordan & Andy



As fall days go, the sun was shining through the yellow trees and on the smiling faces of Andy & Jordan!
The groom was one of my more stylish of this year in a deep blue suit with a velvet maroon tie! He was lightheartedly excited to see his beautiful bride Jordan.  The girls started off getting ready at the Minneapolis hotel a couple of miles from their wedding venue the Aria in Minneapolis. 

We went off before the wedding to shoot on the main street to capture fun times with their friends and family!  Once photos were done we headed back to Aria to tie the knot!  Jordan's dad passed away and couldn't be their to celebrate their day. So everyone made sure dad had a chair dedicated to him so he could be a part of such an important part of the day too. 

Their reception details were killer and so elegant, which made it a joy to shoot all the flowers and details in this reception space. 
The party was strong in these two because once they got married the party started and everyone was ready TO PARTY HARD! Spoiler alert: Lots of dancing under the neon sign! 
I wish Andy and Jordan all the happiness! Enjoy their wedding!

All joy and ready to party is the best way to describe this wedding group; I enjoyed shooting this wedding with Gina Zeidler Photography. 

La La Land Inspired Styled Shoot | Raspberry Island Wedding Photography | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

I LOVE movies; they have always captivated me by the stories that help my enrich my creativity. Earlier this year, I saw La La Land (2016) for the first time. I was so captivated by a moving story of two lovers following there dreams, but that was only a fraction of what drew me to this movie. The cinematography and the brightly vibrant colors blew me away!
Lala Land was also well received everywhere with help of Emma Stone and heartthrob Ryan Gosling; it was a topic conversation with my of my friends who were also just fangirling all over it.
 So to share my love of the delightful La La Land (which I got on Black Friday at Target!!) I dreamed up this shoot. But you know what, I didn't do it alone! After reaching out to a good handful of other creatives, some amazing ones chipped in to make my movie dream a reality!
