The biggest compliment I can receive is when I get an inquiry from a relative of a previous client. Why? Because they’ve not only seen their family member’s full wedding gallery, but they’re also around for the entirety of the wedding day, not to mention present for arguably the most stressful part of the day – family photos! If a couple can know your work that intimately and still chooses you, THAT’S the biggest compliment of all! Meet Christian and Nicole. Christian is Cassie’s brother (peep their blog here), a client of mine from 2021. A few months after Cassie and her husband Brock’s wedding, Nicole reached out and I was SO excited. These two are incredibly kind, have big hearts for one another, and killed the wardrobe game 🙂 We explored downtown St. Paul for their engagement photos in our last few days of 2021 fall. I’m so incredibly excited for their wedding day in October at The Hutton House. Nicole’s vision is going to be a DREAM to photograph! But for now, enjoy their beautiful engagement photos.

I LOVED this session! Taylor and Michael are easy going, kind, open-minded, and hello, look like models! They also have an amazing connection with one another which made my job incredibly easy. Their engagement session made me SO excited for what’s to come, which is a back yard wedding on Taylor’s parent’s property. I have no doubt in my mind that Ashley will make the event stunning and meaningful, and that I’ll be enjoying every step of the process with this awesome couple!

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!
