There might be lots of reasons to have your museum wedding at the Mia, but amazing your guests is certainly one of them!

Weddings are a strange mix of things, juxtaposed together:
People you have known for your whole life, together for the first time.
The person you love best in the world, dressed as you’ve never seen then.
Personal commitments you’ve made over time, codified into a celebration with friends.
Connections you can’t see coming, dance moves you’ve never imagined, tears of joy, laughter, and cake.
This is the magic of a wedding, and it’s what I strive to capture.
Becca and Jesse’s Nicollet Pavilion Wedding couldn’t have done a better job of showing off the best of Minneapolis to all their guests. Yes, their love is infectious – they were playful and joyous and in the moment the entire day. The fall sun streaming through the trees during their ceremony contrasted perfectly with the cool crisp skyline later in the evening. Dancing and toasts and general frivolity made for a totally elevated day from start to finish! I couldn’t be more honored to have Becca and Jesse choose me to document their wedding. I’m thankful that they trusted me…
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show. – Andrew Wyeth Before I gush about Laura and Eric’s Aster Cafe Wedding in Winter I think I should make it clear – the temperature outside was around zero. I think that should be said before anything else. In winter, we agree to share our burden: we remove our jackets, and scarves, and hats. And we agree, for this time, to be warm together. To find a corner of this bleak cold, sometimes beautiful and sometimes dangerous…
When the groom is also a photographer, there can be a little bit of extra pressure to make sure the wedding photography is something special. But working with Jonathan and Emily on their wedding was anything but stressful – they were so joy filled and deliberate in their choices that they day went was a total pleasure to document from beginning to end. From the paper cranes hovering over their wedding ceremony in St Anthony Park to the gorgeous sunset on the terrace of their Minneapolis Campus Club wedding reception, you just couldn’t help but enjoy their company. Thank you,…
It was lovely to work with Caryn and Sean, first for their summer engagement photos in Minneapolis, and then for their Minneapolis Event Center wedding. As you will discover when you plan a wedding, there are things you can plan for, like photo lists and timing. But the most important thing to plan for is having people around you who love you. Because if it rains in the middle of your outdoor ceremony, you’ll want to prioritize the readings (In Sean’s case, it certainly helped that the officiant is also his grandfather). You will want a wedding party who will…
A winter wedding in a dark space at the top of the city? Perfect. That is exactly what Jill and Brant had for their celebration – dark, intimate spaces, a view overlooking the Mississippi river, and the most glamorous space in Minneapolis. Jill and Brant’s wedding at the Guthrie theater was a little bit of fire and ice- the intimate candlelight ceremony, the vivacious live band; the ice sculpture, the multi course wine-paired dinner; the mix of small and large; intimate and public; quiet and raucous. Their candle-lit ceremony was gorgeous to witness – intimate and dark, but so warm…
Night photography. Many people avoid it at all costs – how to make it look natural, how to make it seem integrated into day time images. I personally love taking photos at night – getting the ambient city lights involved, seeing spaces in new ways, and crafting light to best suit the subjects. You expect so little from a dark space, and yet there is so much there to tease out. I recently received my pixelstick (LED light wand) and have been toying with using it for portraits and weddings. The need for several assistants, almost total night, and someone with…
