Favorites!

Maddie and Toby were married at a delightful little church in Southern Minnesota. The reception was at Toby's family farm. This is one of my favorite images of the day. We had just finished dinner, I walked outside around the corner of the barn with my assistant and looked up. What we saw was the most beautiful sky with the pinkest clouds. I said to my assistant, "go. Go get them quick." We took a few images and 10 minutes later the sky had changed and the pink was gone. So glad we caught this one! (You can see Maddie & Toby's blog post here.)

Holidays and Family Photography!

Now that most of the holiday cards have been sent out, I am sharing just a few of some of the wonderful family images I photographed this fall. I offered a mini session at the end of November and was delighted that a lot of my regular clients took advantage of this, but also a couple of my previous bridal couples. Dogs, babies, kids = Family Love!

One of my Favorite Images from Liz and Kiel's wedding last New Year's Eve. We hadn't had any snow all month. Liz had wanted snow on her wedding day. A week before the wedding, I said, "Don't worry. We'll get some." Sure enough, about 9pm the snow started falling in big fluffy flakes. We popped outside the St.Paul College Club and took this image. Love! You can see all the pictures from their wedding day here. And here are some fun images from the "Sparkle Booth"!

 

Follow Me On Pinterest!

Are you on Pinterest? Pinterest is one fantastic way to get ideas and share ideas. It's like one giant magazine that you can keep tearing pages out of and pasting in your own notebook. What I have been doing with some of my brides is making a board for them. Then I go to my bride's wedding boards and I can see what kind of images she likes. Or what kind of poses or shots she finds interesting. We can open up some dialogue and really discuss style and ideas! Pinterest is also fun if you are looking for examples of colors or flowers or cakes or locations. I can go on and on about how many DIY ideas there are too. Check it out. Check out my boards and hopefully you find some fun inspiration!

Chelsey + Josh = Married!

Chelsey and Josh were married the end of October on a beautiful sunny day. We spent the first part of their day with just the two of them at the Conservatory in St.Paul. Then we headed over to the Landmark Center to meet up with the families and one super fun wedding party! The ceremony was back at the super gorgeous Sunken Garden at the Conservatory. It was definitely the year of the "Woulfe". I also had photographed Chelsey's sister's wedding in June of this year. See some images from Christa and Paul's wedding here.
