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?!

Caitlin and Jamieson are going to be parents! This session was extra special for me, because these two are dear friends. I met Jamieson my freshman year of college. We became fast friends, so much so that he even worked for my dad’s business during the summer! He basically became family during those years, so when he met Cait I knew she would be around for the long haul because of how he spoke about her. These two went on to get married, and now are expecting their first baby, a little girl! I can’t wait to watch them become the most loving and devoted parents in a few short weeks.

This chic, tropical garden, high-style wedding has set a whole new standard for 2020 intimate weddings! Every single element is enough to stop your scroll and immediately add to your Pinterest. Meghan and Colin first met at a wedding in Nashville, Tennessee. Colin’s good friend was marrying Meghan’s long-time family friend. Their connection was instant!! They went on to happily date, become engaged in Mexico, and plan a large country club wedding in Meghan’s hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin. But never did they expect that their original plans of a large country club wedding would quickly shift to something much more intimate and unique. Be prepared for the viewing of such an exquisite wedding!
