MN Bride Magazine's Look of Love | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Minnesota Bride Magazine's Look of Love bridal event last weekend made for a stunning afternoon.  Talented wedding professionals, glamorous details, and an elegant location - the Westin Edina Galleria - a winning combination.

Vendor: Aprés Party & Tent Rental at Unveiled Wedding Event | Minneapolis Event Photography

I had the opportunity to swing by the Convention Center for the Unveiled Wedding Event (by the spectacular Wedding Guys) to shoot some of Aprés Party & Tent Rental's STUNNING displays.  Their array of linens, vases, and tableware were combined with 413 on Wacouta's booth, The Wedding Guys' Reception scene, and also filled a stage with creativity.

Save The Date: Andrea & Tyler

Save the Date cards are a fun way to show off some of your engagement images - and make sure all your family and friends mark their calendars. :)  Here's the design for Andrea & Tyler's Save-the-Dates, printed on pearl paper for an elegant, almost iridescent, glow.  Note: They planned ahead with the sign - so cute! 

View their SESSION from last September at Rice Park and Mears Park.

Baby on the Way | Farrah & Kevin | Minneapolis Maternity Photography

I love love love when I can photographically check in with past clients' lives.  Farrah and Kevin booked me for their wedding reception at The Soap Factory a couple years back (and were even featured in MN Bride's Newlyweds section).  Now they're expecting!  I'm so lucky to have such wonderful clients as friends and can't wait to meet their baby girl and watch her grow - making photographs all along the way!  Here's a few favs from their in-home maternity session.

Stay tuned...  Next month Farrah and I will work side-by-side for a stylized bridal fashion shoot - she's an amazing hair and make up artist!

Liza's One! | Minneapolis Baby Photographer

Liza's parents opted for our New Arrival Collection - three sessions in baby's first year.  We started with Liza's newborn session at her home, then did a 4 month session at the Stone Arch Bridge, and just concluded with her one year session at the Guthrie Theater.  She was in such a good mood I got a little selfish and really worked it! :)  Mom, Dad and brother David got in on the fun too!  Here's some of my favorites from this latest shoot.  I'll post a compilation of all three session soon (hopefully sooner rather than later).  Enjoy!

Meet Baby Gino | Minnesota Baby Photography

This little guy was born on New Years Day.  I've known Gino's mama since middle school, and just a few (short) years later, Dani and Nick have become wonderful parents!  I had a beautiful (well, snow-less and peaceful) drive to Duluth, MN this weekend to meet Gino and visit his family - it was such a treat!  He is just too stinkin' cute! :)  Can't wait to watch - and document - him growing!

12.17.11 Bemidji Wedding Reception | MN Wedding Photography

Rachel and Tanner were married in Arizona and a couple months later scooted up to Rachel's hometown of Bemidji, MN for a December reception.  A dusting of snow, seasonably nice weather, warm romantic candlelight, and a cheerful woodsy country club overlooking a beautiful lake created the perfect celebration for family and friends.  It was a fun get-away and change of scenery for my second shooter and me as well!  So wonderful!  Congrats you two - you're simply wonderful! :)
