North Shore Summer Wedding

Skyler and Josh got married along the North Shore at Grand Superior Lodge in Two Harbors, Minnesota. I highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for a versatile venue right on Lake Superior to celebrate and offers sleeping accommodations. There’s tons of beautiful areas to take portraits at, and you can’t beat a sunset with that lake view.

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Wedding

Avery and Jon’s wedding day was perfect — overcast but still sunny; warm but not sweltering; breezy but not windy. Getting ready, the entire afternoon their whole group was kind and filled with excitement for the looming celebration. Dani, their 13 year old Samoyed, was the ring bearer, and she did a great job. As an avid nature lover, this is probably one of my favorite venues I’ve had the pleasure and opportunity to photograph at.

If you’ve ever stopped by the chalet in Elm Creek before, you might not see the potential it has as a venue, but let me tell you: it’s a gorgeous venue to celebrate at.

This was my first time photographing a wedding at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. This venue truly has something to offer any nature lover.

Renuka and Brenden were blessed with such a beautiful day for their wedding. It was hot with a consistent, gentle breeze; and the ceremony was shaded by an enormous tree.

Minneapolis Elopement in Father Hennepin Bluff Park

This was my first elopement in Downtown Minneapolis, and I really hope it’s not my last! I had so much fun planning the timeline for this day with Angela. She was so sweet and fun to talk over ideas with. She sent me her Pinterest board with a specific vision and we agreed on several locations scattered across Downtown.
