5.10.13 Nicole & Paul | Chambers & Sculpture Garden

Nicole and Paul were such a treat to work with.  Even with just a couple meetings and emails and no engagement session, I knew they'd be laid back, fun, and up for a good time.  They kept their day simple, straight-forward and elegant.  After a First Sight at Le Meridien Chambers Hotel's rooftop restaurant, the two of them and the two of us (my lovely assistant Lindie and myself) scooted to a couple of hot spots in Minneapolis to showcase their love of the city and each other.  Then to the Sculpture Garden for a super intimate and scenic, immediate-family-only ceremony.  Pausing at a couple more downtown spots on our way back to the Chambers and the reception/party catered by D'Amico began.  Just lovely!  I adore that Nicole and Paul knew what was important to them, invested in it, and let the rest go - it was very much their style and thus a perfect day!  (How lucky for me!)  Congrats, you two - you rocked it!

Friends since high school, I've been so blessed to photograph Bryce's mom, Ashley's wedding, her twin sister's wedding, and now Ashley and husband Ryan's new baby Bryce!  What a gem - just two weeks old at the time and so sweet.  Thanks to Grandma Laurie and Big Sister Addison for their help and special appearance, respectively.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Sofitel Tasting Menu | Minneapolis Hotel & Food Photography

At the end of last year, Sofitel Minneapolis hosted a beautiful tasting event with wine pairings.  It was an honor to photograph each course.  (Rumor has it one or more of the images from that night will be used on their new menus - pretty cool!)

For more images at the stunning Sofitel, take a peek at...

• Dawnn & Chris' wedding from earlier this year
• Opportunity Partner's annual gala
