Hi! I’m Becca.

Originally from Wisconsin, I moved to Minneapolis after living in Boston for many years. I’ve been a photographer of weddings and editorial work for nearly 2 decades. My husband runs local food magazine Heavy Table, and together we have created several books including the Master Cheesemakers of Wisconsin and Lake Superior Flavors.

I am dedicated to providing an affirming and safe space for people in the LGBTQ+ community. You can see recent LGBTQ+ weddings here.

I’m deeply serious about running my business with care. I keep most other parts of my life fairly unserious.

Silly things to know about me

In 2016 and 2022, I won a blue ribbon for my canned watermelon pickles at the Minnesota State Fair.

We have a (very!) silly podcast about food-based romance movies called “Barely 90 minutes”

Our annual “Febgiving” of Thanksgiving in February has been written up in the Star Tribune and New York Times.

I have three cats, one of whom can now open simple doors.

I enjoy bad movies, sewing clothes, silly trivia, and food.

I have a dinning guide for out of towners with my favorite spots to eat and share in the Twin Cities.

My Photographic Philosophy:

The only constant is change – people change, families change, the world changes. Photos are how you’ll share this moment with your friends, family, and future generations, and I take that responsibility extremely seriously. That is what it means to take timeless photography – something that shares who you are in this moment and brings it forward for the future. 

My Work Has appeared: 

In local publications as well as nationally in People, Saveur, the Wall Street Journal, and Culture. You can read a detailed profile of my wedding philosophy in the Star Tribune.
