Vibrant, heartfelt, intimate, joy-filled. Four of the perfect words to describe Greta and Drew’s beautiful wedding! They had the PERFECT weather, a whimsical invitation suite, vibrant florals, timeless attire, and gorgeous reception details. Wedding planner Sarah Trotter with Lasting Impressions always blows me away! These two love each other and everyone around them fiercely. They were beyond a pleasure to work with and watching their love on display at their wedding is such a treat!

Tianna and Eric are engaged! These two drove to Wayzata from Eau Claire, Wisconsin with their two pups for our session together. We had a STEAMY 98 degree day for their photos, but these two held it together like champs and let their chemistry shine through the heat! We started at the beautiful Noerenberg Gardens in Wayzata, then headed off to Wayzata Beach to end off our session. I loved the soft colors they chose for both of their outfits. It was the perfect compliment to each of the locations we photographed at. And how cute are their little doggies!?

Hello, models! I love when I have a photo shoot with a couple that needs hardly any direction because their connection with one another is just THAT good! That was totally Lizzie and Austin! I’d start by getting them into position, then just let them make each other smile, giggle, kiss, etc. all on their own. I love how authentic these photos feel because of it! These two spend a lot of time at the restaurants in Wayzata, so they opted for this location for their engagement shoot. However, we shot on one of the warmest days of summer and the beach was PACKED with people! I shoot downtown Wayzata often, but we were forced to switch it up a bit in order to have the fewest people in the background of our photos as possible. Love the variety that we were able to capture. Do these two not look like they should be in a JCrew catalog?!
