Thunderbird Sunrise Trail Elopement Photography

A sunrise Arizona Elopement

When the pandemic hit Elopements set the Wedding World on fire. Having a small intimate wedding became a must for so many couples. The magic of just having your small core group of people did not make your wedding day any less special. In some cases having your wedding be SO intimate made it even more special.
I was lucky enough to do some hiking elopement photography with Jamie and Keenan; We did a Arizona sunrise photography session that was seriously magical.

I want more Sunrise sessions in my life and these two were willing enough to let me capture it.

A personal goal is to book and plan more elopements and weddings just like this. I want to be able to help my brides plan an ADVENTURE for their wedding experience they will never forget.

Jaimie and Keenan, thank you for being open for an adventure that was not the norm and I hope you enjoyed your Denny’s waffles after this.

If you think you would be open to adventure with me please reach out and let us make some magic together. <3

Anna & Alex Got Married at Epiphany Church in Coon Rapids & Celebrated at Quincy Hall in Minneapolis!

Anna and Alex are officially married! They threw a big celebration to document their marriage this past Saturday!
In the morning the girls got ready at Anna’s childhood home, before making our way to Church of Epiphany to see Alex for their first look. Her sisters and Mama Cindy helped get her perfect before seeing her groom.

Alex waited in the gardens in the back of the church and seeing each other was magic. Anna’s dress was something that checked all her boxes. She wanted something with sleeves, and open back and lace. It was a little more boho than she thought she would fall for but she loved it all just the same! Her bouquet (done by Apricot Florals) had beautiful floral that also included raspberry flowers and even had some raspberries growing in it! All genuine smiles all day, Anna & Alex were just soaking up the happiness and excitement. I was loving it all day!
The Ceremony was a classic Catholic Ceremony where they asked for God’s blessing on their marriage and their future. Their ceremony treated their union as the sacred act that marriage is.
After their I do’s and becoming officially husband and wife, the wedding party hopped on the Gray Lines Trolley and headed over to an additional photo spot near their reception venue to snap a couple of extra photos.

After making our way to Quincy Hall to party the rest of the night away, we got to see the amazing work that Apricot Florals and Fab Designs put in to make their reception stunning! With Covid restrictions lifted, these two were really able to have the reception they wanted and celebrate the way they wanted.

The night continued with speeches (some times a little embarrassing & others all love), dinner, and dancing! Now when you have been cooped up for a year and a half, it makes for a FIRE of a dance floor. It was hopping in the best way. Before dancing we went out for some last rays of golden sun for portraits!
The whole day was positively beautiful, but what shined the most was the gentle kindness of Anna & Alex. Their joyful spirits really made the day what it was - Amazing. I am SO thankful to have been a part of capturing their day and I really hope you enjoy their photos as much as I do.

Paige & Jordan Marry at Cleary Lake Regional Park!

Paige and Jordan had plans to get married and covid restrictions made those plans go right out the window!
They didn’t let all the covid crap get them down though. Even though their plans evolved, they still kept true to what they wanted. Paige & Jordan held their wedding ceremony at Cleary Lake Park with a very intimate group of family members and friends. The officiant was one of their closest friends Nicole, who had everybody smiling and laughing along! They got married on their 9th anniversary of being together! That is pretty awesome and special. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a celebratory meal at Eagan’s Doolittle’s before the wedding party and I did our portraits at a favorite nearby park. These sunset portraits had me swooning the entire time and this crew was just awesome to party with! (not too many bugs either!)

The next day at Cleary Lake Regional Park Pavilion more friends and family were invited to come celebrate with a relaxed game day and food in the Minnesota Sun! Everyone came relaxed and ready to enjoy the day with some Cafe Latte cakes! (They got a large variety which were absolutely delicious!)

Paige, Jordan, and I finished out their wedding adventure weekend with portraits with Paige’s horse Vinny! Although I don’t think he was the biggest fan, he did like being bribed with peppermints!

Please enjoy this look at Jordan and Paige’s Wedding Weekend Adventure! I really loved how they embraced it and really made this whole experience their own!! Enjoy!

Reception!
