St Paul Hotel Winter Wedding – Sarah and Steven

In lieu of telling you about Sarah and Steven’s wedding, I’ll let them tell you about their experience working with me for their St Paul Hotel Winter Wedding.

I think its safe to say her photos speak for themselves. They are stunning, and anyone would be thrilled to have them hanging on their wall. But what makes Becca so great is that she is just a joy to be around. I didn’t meet with any other photographers after meeting Becca because I knew I needed her at my wedding. My husband and I are not the most photogenic people, and taking pictures in the middle of a park can be a bit awkward. Becca made the entire experience (both engagement and wedding) not only comfortable, but extremely fun. She was also essential to making the day run smoothly. I have never met a vendor that jumped in and helped with anything and everything – from buttoning my dress to pinning boutonnieres on. I was so anxious all day getting ready, and as soon as Becca arrived, I felt at ease. I promise you will not regret hiring Becca. It was the best decision we made on our wedding day.

I’m truly honored to be able to work with people on such happy and beautiful days, to hopefully make the day go a little smoother and to document all the joy along the way. Thank you Sarah and Steven, for choosing me to be there!

Yep, Minnesota is cold.
And yet, I choose to live here. I have actively chosen to root myself here in the upper Midwest. When you find a place you love, you choose to accept the balance of challenges and opportunities.
So, yes, it is cold. And for Sarah and Steven’s wedding there were times when I couldn’t feel my fingers, or my face, and I was laying on the ground.
But I love everything about this mix of cold night and warm hearts at their New Years Eve wedding.
Thank you, city of St Paul, for draping your trees with little lights all winter – a way of rejoicing while the cold rolls in.
And thank you Minnesota, for warm boots and hot coffee and community that makes the cold so forgettable.
Camera info: Sigma 85mm at 1.8 (for such creamy bokeh) and LED light.
