Couples choose Silverwood Park for the gorgeous forest feel right in the Minneapolis St Paul Metro area. And for James and Austin, it was a perfect backdrop for their music-centered celebration, with space for their choral and instrument-focused ceremony as well as the exuberant dancing that went into the evening. About Silverwood Park Silverwood Park is part of the Three Rivers Park system and located in the north metro area. Couples often choose Silverwood Park because it has a complete indoor reception space with options for outdoor spaces without leaving the greater Twin Cities. This makes it a perfect space…

Celebrating couples and the community that loves them is one of my greatest honors as a wedding photographer. Here are some examples of recent weddings that are LGBTQ affirming, but please get in touch if you have questions or want to chat about your own wedding!

This is a wedding I have held dear to my heart for many reasons. This wedding is gorgeous. These two men have an incredible group of people around them, from family to close friends and community beyond. They literally built part of this wedding together (more on that later). And they are two people very much in the world – building and writing and creating around them. I’ve also been honored to document several other of their friends’ weddings, so celebrating and documenting celebrations with these folks has been a pleasure. Ready to share with the world, the lovely celebration…
What does it mean to keep seeing photos in the same places?
There is something odd about seeing the same spaces, but with new people. About seeing similar backdrops, but interchanging the people.
Because the truth is this: People are not interchangeable.
Approaching the same spaces with new eyes for these St Anthony main engagement photos.
Sierra and Katie’s wedding at Como Conservatory and Young Joni Yesterday, someone asked me how many weddings I have photographed. It has been a while since I made a full count, but my back-of-the-napkin calculations put me around 450. I’ve photographed over 450 celebrations. Dancing, laughing, tears, bowties, blisters, snow, sun, rain. 450 makes it seem like I’ve seen it all. And yet. And yet I can never step in the same stream twice. It is not the same stream, and I am not the same person. It is the same for weddings- each celebration is a unique combination of…
Brittany and Stacy’s St Paul College Club wedding was one of the last weddings I photographed before COVID-19 changed events and the world. I really appreciate their review of me on Yelp: Becca is, simply put, amazing. We had her do our engagement and wedding photos. She is funny, a total photography pro, and now we want her to take all of our photos. Not to mention we keep trying to think of ways to invite her into our friend group. By the end of the wedding we had friends asking for her info and complimenting her left and right.…
From their classic St Olaf College Wedding to their late night dancing, these two grooms had it all Days that start with bow ties and end with dance parties are pretty spectacular. I would expect no less from these two grooms after their engagement photographs turned into an impromptu champagne party. And so it was with this wedding day – a formal garden party ceremony and reception on the gorgeous spring grounds of St Olaf College. A reception with a grey ombre cake and doughnuts, very good friends, toasts that made even this wedding photographer tear up a bit, and…
I’ve had a difficult time blogging Nancy and Tiffany’s wedding. Not because it was hard to choose images, but because by blogging it I’m sort of putting an end marker on our time together. I don’t really want to magic to end, I suppose. Which is to say, it’s taken me like a year to finally write about their lovely slightly rainy Minnesota lake wedding. We started at Nancy’s parents house, where rain kept us inside for photos, leading to my discovery that a rain drop sprinkled window is makes for a moody backdrop, even if Nancy and Tiffany had…
