Jenny and Josh got married on a beautiful September day at Adler Ranch in Alexandria, Minnesota. It was a textbook perfect fall day – sunny, bright blue skies, warm but not humid, with a lovely breeze. I had the honor of meeting these two last fall for their engagement session, also at Adler Ranch. So, […]

Frannie and Kail are married! Oh, this was such a sweet, FUN wedding! The ceremony was held at the historic 108 year old St Nicholas Catholic Church, and reception followed at the beautiful Rendezvous Farm (where we also did engagement photos last fall!) This wedding was FULL of smiles and laughter. If I had to describe the vibe of the day: joy and fun.

There were spotty chances of rain all day, which worried Katie a little, but I told her about the Wedding Rain Miracle, that I, and most photographers, experience all the time. This strange phenomenon that happens when rain is forecast for a wedding day, but weirdly doesn’t happen at all or does happen but stops at just the right moments for ceremony, photos, etc. And it happened for them. Perfect weather at all the right moments, plus a rainbow!

Abbey and I met in 2017 and became friends working as nurses together on a cardiac step down unit. She has since moved on as a nurse practitioner, and I really miss working with her. Kind, funny, smart, and genuine, she is not only a great nurse but the best kind of coworker and friend. […]

We had absolutely perfect weather all week; a serenely calm ocean, sunny blue skies, and on our final morning, a stunning full rainbow right in front of our beach house. You could not have asked for better conditions for a destination beach wedding.

Kyrie and Alex’s wedding day forecast called for rain and storms all day…not ideal. But, as I have witnessed countless times, the rain held off until exactly the time we were done with all photos and everyone was tucked away inside for the ceremony. I met these two last fall for their engagement session and […]

What a gorgeous styled shoot! We had Kynze and Alex as perfect models, questionable weather that worked out perfectly in our favor, and the stunning backdrop of northern Minnesota. For those who are new to the term, styled sessions are collaborative events that provide an opportunity for wedding photographers and other vendors to create and […]

Oh, January. Holiday decorations are put away, the house is clean, the hustle of the holidays settles back to a more normal pace….it allows for time to take a breath and reflect on the past year, and space to become re-invigorated for the upcoming year. Slowing down and looking back at the previous season always helps me to feel inspired and motivated for what could be for this year! Upon this reflection, I am always in awe at what amazing people I get to meet and work with. I am so very grateful for my 2022 clients.

Cold, misty rain and wind threatened Paige and Tanner’s big day in late September…but they decided to take the risk and continue with the plan for an outdoor ceremony at Thumper Pond Resort. Thank goodness they did, as it turned out to be lovely! We even had sneaks of sun during the ceremony, which was just beautiful.
