Wow the photos from Alyssa’s senior photography session are gorgeous! She was so kind and fun AND extremely photogenic. Her outfits really show her unique style and looked awesome with our Minneapolis Studio location. She even brought along her artwork for some personalized style.  There are so many great ones, I can’t decide on a favorite but would love to hear your picks! Enjoy…

Check out this winter senior session! Amy had envisioned her senior photos being taken in the snow and that is exactly what we had. She braved the cold and we captured amazing photos! We started her senior session in our Minneapolis studio and finished up at Mill City. Enjoy…

What a silly morning we had! Amelia and Sawyer were just too cute and we giggled the morning away. I think you can tell in the photos we had a ton of fun at our Quincy St. Studios. Enjoy…

Shannon and James had one of the most intimate weddings we’ve covered at Grand  View Lodge in Nisswa yesterday. About 60 guests joined the lovely couple for a beachfront ceremony with the sparkling waters of Gull Lake in the afternoon sun.  Following an amazing photo session, the couple retreated with their guests to the reception in the lodge’s wine cellar. Close to 300 candles set the intimate mood in the wine cellar as Shannon and James enjoyed a lovely meal and delicious cupcakes. Enjoy…

Minerva and Kevin’s wedding was truly a union of two families who came from all over the world for this intimate ceremony on Saturday. Their special day started out as Minerva’s father,  Al, styled her hair while Kevin suited up in his Dress Blues.The families made their way to the St. James Chapel (Quigley Prep Seminary) in Chicago for the very intimate ceremony  performed by a close friend. The couple was chauffeured to the Chicago Four Seasons Hotel in a Rolls Royce Phantom where they were ushered into the reception by a keyed up crowd. Their first dance, to a live band, was kissed by the sunset on Lake Michigan and that was just the start of a long celebration.

As they saw each other for the first time they were showered with love and light rain but that didn’t prevent Shawna from kickin up her heels for some great photos. We started the day off at Good Shepard Lutheran Church in Inver Grove Heights, followed by a stop at Rice Park and a Reception at Prestwick Golf Club in Woodbury. Despite the rain the entire wedding party pitched in to keep Shawna and Derek dry using umbrellas. They managed to  make it to the 18th  hole (for photos)  before cutting the cake. Following the toasts, the bridesmaids and groomsmen got the the party started and the energy  never left the dance floor.

Rain, rings and romance … Amanda and Nathan didn’t let it rain on their (wedding) parade Saturday. Their day started out at the beautiful Panola Valley Gardens in Lindstrom where they had, yes, an outdoor ceremony followed by a reception at Ideal Hall in St. Paul. Although the skies were filled with rain the entire day, Amanda and Nathan, nature lovers at heart, didn’t hold back! You would think most couples would never consider taking their wedding photos in the rain, but they embraced the weather and because of that have gorgeous images that will tell a tale of showers, love and fun! I cannot begin to tell you how delighted we were when they said “let’s keep shooting” over and over again. We were really able to capture the true essence of the day and are especially excited to share these photos with you.

Enjoy!
