Andrew + Liz / Alexandria MN Engagement

Liz and Andrew are getting married! Early fall sessions are the best; a mix of still-warm temps and early fall colors; letting go of summer and looking forward to fall… We had the best of both for this engagement session. Starting at Spruce Hill Park with a lovely walk through early fall foliage, finishing up […]

2022 Year In Review

Engagement, Family, Senior, Weddings

January 5, 2023

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.

Paige + Tanner / Ottertail Wedding

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.

Heather + Andrew / Alexandria Wedding

Heather and Andrew’s wedding was everything! It was gorgeous, relaxed, sweet, filled with love and beautiful emotion, with family at the center. The (now official!) Broussard family traveled from Nebraska to get married at Bold North Cellars, which was originally part of family farmland, so besides being a stunning venue, it was an especially meaningful place to them.
