Second Styled Shoot is in the Bag

I have always loved movies.  You would often find my family in the living room cuddling up on the couch absorbed in stories being told on a big screen. Dream retirement job would be writing movie reviews just like Movie Mom on 94.5. One of my most recent favorites was the movie lalaland! The visuals danced into my heart making me want to be a part of it! After finding some fantastic vendors who wanted to be a part of my vision too we did a styled shoot.this is my second one and it was as just much fun as the first one! I am still in the publishing process so here is a couple behind the scenes photos for now! I wanted to say thank you to Hannah with Morning Light Photography for helping shoot a couple with me behind the camera! 

This is my second styled shoot and it just amazes me the talents of those around me. One thing I LOVE about these types of shoots is not only the willingness to give there time, but the beautiful things creatives make when you give them free reign to create what they love! With this shoot I feel like I meshed really well with the planners and models which was a good feeling. It is also a great way to warm up for this coming wedding season!!!

Don't worry this whole session will be on the blog SOON!!! 

Abulea Wedding Photography | New Years Eve Wedding | Elle & Patrick |

Elle and Patrick's wedding was on the door step of 2017 new years eve . I shot this wedding with Justin Mark Photography as a last minute favor because Justin was pretty stick the day before! Back to Elle and Patrick they decided to get ready at abulea in downtown st paul right by Mears Park and CHS field. The ceremony was held at St. Thomas Chapel. Although it was pretty cold it didn't phase Elle as she was up for the challenge as was the entire wedding party because no body complained with giant smiles in front of the camera!

As the ceremony began, the chapel forgot to take down the life-size nativity scene at the alter! So tip for those choosing holidays for your wedding remember to make sure SOMEONE is assigned to take down the churches decorations! It would not have been that big of deal if it did not take up 1/3 of the alter where these two love birds tied the knot!  

After the ceremony we all meet up at Abulea for a comfotable and GORGEOUS reception!
