Bethany and Erik were the bow that wrapped up a crazy 2020 wedding season!! They made my last wedding of the year one to remember for all the right reasons. These two were lucky enough to tie the knot on a very rare 70 degree November day at two of my favorite venues, Blacksmith Main and Luminary in Brainerd, MN. They opted not to do a bridal party (minus a couple photos with their closest friends), and focused the day on family and one another. They even had their dog Poppy in most of the photos – I mean, a couple after my own heart! Poppy was such a good girl all day and they got lots of photos with their golden girl.

Baby Lincoln was born in October 13th, 2020 and made his parents Lindsey and Michael “mom and dad” for the first time. I met Lindsey and Michael at their maternity session this summer. They have such a calm, cool personality and I just knew they were going to crush this parenting thing. My associate Rachael had the honor of photographing their newborn session after their son was born, and I just had all the heart eyes as I was reviewing and editing the images. Parenting looks so good on them!

Timeless, classic, romantic. Three words to describe Rachel and Matt’s engagement session AND their plans for their wedding next fall at The Minikahda Club! I had so much fun with these two at their engagement session at Norenberg Gardens and Excelsior. Lake Minnetonka Goodness at it’s finest!
