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.

The Basilica is gorgeous, and also can be a daunting space for a novice photographer. The lighting inside is perfectly set up to illuminate the front altar, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to well-lit formal portraits inside.
If you are looking at a vineyard for your MN wedding celebration, this 7 vines vineyard wedding shows off how much fun a summer party can be.
Celebrations matter. Celebrations matter because we bring our communities, our families, our people together so rarely. A wedding day isn’t the day that two people decide to spend their lives together – that is an ongoing process, started before the wedding, lasting throughout their marriage. A wedding day is simply the day that we choose to celebrate it – that we say to our communities “we have chosen each other”, and that your community gets to finally party! And that is pretty much what happened for Emma and Al’s wedding at the Madison Club. A totally gorgeous day, a breaking…
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.…
Oh, my. Where to start with Elise and Nate and their Nicollet Island Pavilion Wedding? I guess I can start with the rain. Because it definitely rained. Mostly misty but followed by a slightly unwelcome drizzle. And it was gorgeous – not only the excellent tuxes and the dresses, but the throaty laughter and the bright joy were also gorgeous. Elise and Nate, obviously, were exceedingly dapper. But they were also totally present – laughing, flowing, chatting. Undaunted by the rainy change in plans, getting married under flowers in a tent, surrounded by a whole lot of gorgeous love. And into…
Cara and Nate’s Lumber Exchange wedding – lovely, joyous, warm, delightful. Many Canadian accents mixed with raucous Iowan ones. Manitoba doesn’t have an official motto, (I’m sure, being too stoic to have to crow about itself) But I stumbled upon the motto for British Columbia – “splendor without diminishment.” Seems like a fitting summary for such a splendid couple. In the spring Cara and Nate went through their favorite parks for engagement photos. It was only the start of bringing their shared life into their wedding and photos – Cara and Nate share so many amazing things together – families…
Things you can tell just by looking at this Hidden Meadow Barn wedding I’ve spent the last few weeks updating my website – choosing the images that will represent my work to couples who find me, thinking about the kinds of questions couples have when they are planning their wedding and how I can best help navigate answers with them. Adding to my Frequently Asked Questions, updating my bio, thinking about navigating websites and SEO and usability. Sometimes, I just run out of things to say. I’m a visual person, and yet the nature of running a business requires so…
