The Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis is a favorite location for portraits. It is easy to see why – the energy, the skyline views, the roar of the Mississippi, and the architectural structure all make for excellent portrait settings.

Theodore Wirth Regional Park is a gorgeous, wild, and large part of the Minneapolis park system. The 1920’s clubhouse Chalet (now called the Eddie Manderville Chalet) is a gorgeous space for old Minneapolis charm surrounded by established forest and rolling hills. It stands out in the park system, but is also stands out in greater Minneapolis for the charm, privacy, and features of this wedding venue.

Thrilled to share Brittany and David’s Loring Restaurant Wedding! It was truly a pleasure to work with them on their lovely and very fun wedding. I’m deeply touched by their kind review of me on the Knot: We can’t recommend Becca enough! Our engagement and wedding photos are gorgeous! Becca helped us relax and made us laugh and feel comfortable, so our genuine happiness showed through in the pictures. – Brittany and David Brittany and David are a wonderful mix of planning and ease, of elegant first dances followed by a caricature artist, or carefully chosen painted shoes (for her)…
When life hands you rain, you make rainy Minneapolis engagement portraits. Or, much more poetically: Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.

And then, it is not enough to make it work – it is not enough to play with an umbrella and show off the droplets. You must embrace it and enjoy it. An unexpected rain storm is perhaps the most fun part of the adventure of engagement photos. So thank you,…
Look, I get it. You’ve probably been doing a lot of things in your life that don’t involve looking natural and fantastic in front of a camera. I hope that when you dance at a concert with your friends, for example, or run a 5k, or have a movie night at home with your sweetie, that you don’t consider for a moment if you look fantastic, but instead how it feels to be with people you love. But I’m sure that sometimes you do look natural, and fantastic, and gorgeous doing those things. And I love proving it. Case in…
Greek Minneapolis Wedding and 10 years of hustle I’ve been shooting weddings full time for over 10 years. That sometimes feels a little nuts to say out loud. There were many years at the beginning when I felt like I had to scramble and hustle for every piece of new information as I became a better and better wedding photographer. At some point, you realize that the skills you have are good enough for most weddings – you can light things, you can manage timelines, and you can anticipate key events to document. But good enough is death for creativity.…
The more comfortable you get with your equipment and anticipation of events, the easier aspects of shooting a wedding become. And ease is death for creativity. Because there are things I *know* will work – set up my light here, use this lens, say these things – I know they will produce good results. As you trim away the opportunity for poor results, you also trim away the transcendent accidents. And so you have to play around even more to bring in those challenges – finding new places to shoot, less intuitive ways to use your lighting, more challenging techniques. All of that is…
