Nicole & Matt - Engaged!

Nicole wanted some urban, some nature and some rail road shots... so what better place than Jordan! Here is a quick sampling from their session last weekend, it was the perfect day, with the perfect sunset. Matt and Nicole were a blast to take pictures of, very fun, and laid back.










This one is for Matt, he wanted a UFC shot.

James and Jessica - Wedding Bliss

James and Jessica tied the knot last weekend at the St. John the Baptist Church in Jordan (love that town), followed by a rocken' reception at The Wilds in Prior Lake. The weather started out a little wet but quickly turned into the perfect day. This couple was truly fantastic to work with and I wish them all the best in the coming years.


The "first look"


Just for some artistic fun...



This old church has wonderful architecture, great ceilings, awesome arches and pillars. I did this angle to show those off, and keep the bride and groom in the bottom corner of the frame.





They brought their cute little puppy out to the park for some shots!


Although most trees are (or were) still green, this one was screaming color








I absolutely love this candid bar shot, priceless.











This perfectly timed shot (by Joanne Chappellaz) shows this young girl snatching the bouquet out of mid air. Take a second to look this shot over.
(oops, this one was supposed to be before the one above)

Another perfectly timed shot by Joanne, just about to grab the garter.... the tongue out is priceless!

There was a ton more rocken' dance floor shots, in fact I dedicated an entire post to them... see below.

Meagan & Andy - Engaged!

I shot this engagement session this past Wednesday afternoon by the river front in Minneapolis. For those of you who don't remember what the weather was like that particular day... it was cold, about 18 degrees. Meagan and Andy were great sports to brave the weather, especially since she is from Texas, and they opted to take their coats off for a lot of the shots.
It was a great time all around, and we made away with some awesome shots. Thank you both for the opportunity to shoot your engagement session, and I hope you have an amazing wedding on the beach in Alabama!
