Horror Movies Perfect before Halloween | Personal

My stress reliever for as long as I can remember has been movies; one of the many genres that Marcus and I share a love for is horror.

I think horror movies have a part of the imagination of the unknown that I find captivating. I love feeling my heart race from not knowing what happens next. I know I am looking at someones dark imagination the same way you look at my imagination when looking at my photos! I think knowing that it doesn't bother my as much as other people. 

 This Halloween we have been impatiently waiting for Stranger Things Season 2. To build on my excitement for the new season (available on Netflix tomorrow!!!) I downloaded and played the game available in the app store! I loved it! If you need me this weekend I will be indisposed on the couch cuddling with Marcus binge watching Netflix.

If you are a fellow lover of horror movies and are looking for some to I spire you for Halloween this year, here are a couple of my favorites : The Conjuring Series, The Insidious Series, The Annabelle series - ( Ghost/Demons)/ 28 days later, Train to Busan, ZResort -(Zombies) / IT (2017), The Descent -creatures.

Do you have any suggestions what our next watch should be? Leave a commit below and I will check it out!

When To Book Your Engagement Session | For MW Brides | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

When is the right time to book your engagament photography session? I have got you, girl. 

Plan for your favorite season! Up here in Minnesota we have all four seasons! My favorite season is winter. The snow is makes the world magical. Plan on shooting the season you want to be a part of within the year of your wedding.

Many use engagememt photos for their save the dates! To make sure you have plenty of time to shoot the session and your photographer has time to edit to perfection and deliver and then add in the time to order and be delivered. I would suggest to have your engagement session shot 2 months before you plan on sending out your save the dates. That will give you time for all the mentioned process above to take place!

From a photographers standpoint you want to avoid shooting your session too late in advance. I would suggest having your photos done not later than 2 months before your wedding. This will give you plenty of time to have your photographer shoot and edit and send back your photos.

Bearpath Wedding Photography | Hannah & Brandon

Hannah and Brandon's Bearpath wedding was under Electric Lime Photography; she graciously had me along side her to second shoot this fun/loving couple.

70's, sunny, and with a warm breeze going all day made it the perfect day for a wedding. The guys were decorated in a black tux with purple bow-ties with the exception of Brandon in his black bow-tie. As Hannah got into her dress, she was just bursting with joyous excitement.

I LOVED how excited Brandon was to marry Hannah. He couldn't get a smile off of his face even when he tried! Hannah loves the glam so her reception was pretty sparkly!
