Van Dusen Mansion Wedding Minneapolis – Yibai and Lee

Yibai and Lee’s Van Dusen Mansion Wedding was a total joy. After their good humor when it rained for their engagement photos (rainy day engagement photos are awesome!), I knew they were both practical and so darn happy together! Which brings me to one of my proudest moments as a wedding photographer: I managed to get 25 military men to all look at me at the same time for a photo. It was the end of the night, and some of them might have enjoyed the reception quite a bit. There was definitely some heckling. Several of them thanked me.…

Semple Mansion Wedding – Ashley and Brandon

Ashley and Brandon’s Semple mansion wedding was a warm celebration away from a cold December day. Their guests entered the mansion right into the intimate ceremony, and then were rewarded with a wine cellar cocktail hour before adjourning to the ballroom for dinner. From photos with their (adorable!) pup Kimchi to their elegant friend-led ceremony and some hilarious toasts, the night was full of laughter and joy. I particularly enjoyed their eclectic group of friends, many with theatrical backgrounds, who made the speeches and the dancing and the general banter so lively throughout the evening. It is clear that Ashley…

Gale Mansion Wedding Minneapolis -Cordelia and Jacob

Cordelia and Jacob, and their fall Gale Mansion Wedding in Minneapolis. This is one of those times where a picture really does tell a thousand words, and I can’t quite compete with how joyful and emotional and lovely their celebration was.

I think its safe to say that Cordelia and Jacob work hard, and then they bring that same dedication to celebrating with their friends and family.…

Semple Mansion wedding – Amy + Chuck

Semple Mansion Wedding with Dinosaurs, cake, and so much dancing “This is the most realistic dinosaur we could find” I think those were the first words Chuck said to me when I arrived for his wedding, while handing me a toy dinosaur (which was fairly lifelike, if only 3 inches tall). And thus began a day FULL of laughter. The dinos, the jokes, the singing, the dancing, and the best man’s speech that gave insightful analysis of Amy + Chuck’s relationship as displayed by the percentage of facebook posts about cats. Two people who are clearly so full of a love for…
