It never intended to happen (well it really never does!) Ryan was in his hum-drum of every day life at the office, when by chance he met Kelly. She was kind-hearted and had many of the same interests as he did. After a couple of months of passing -by chance- at the office, the two decided to go out for drinks and ended up talking for 4-5 hours. A few days later Ryan called Kelly for their official first date.
Not too long after that, the couple planned a trip up to northern Minnesota to view the changing fall leaves. A year later they decided to go on that same trip and on the first night Ryan went out for “groceries” and decorated the bonfire pit at the resort, got a fire going and tried to calm his nerves while Kelly was unpacking in their room not knowing what was going to happen next! When Ryan came back, he escorted her down to the pit and proposed!
Their September wedding was absolutely perfect. As I mentioned yesterday, they were wonderful to be with and I felt like they were some of my old friends! Kelly and Ryan, I wish you both so much joy and happiness!
I actually only meant to say “congrats” to the above post… but man, that B&W of the bride on this post is absolutely stunning.
They were secretly “stalking” me. Ryan joked with me as we met for coffee. I had photographed Kelly’s friend’s wedding and got to chat with the two of them. When we met, I felt like we were old friends as we chatted about their wedding. Being the first wedding of fall, and after a 6 week break from weddings, I was ready to get back into the scene. I could NOT have asked for a better couple, venue, group of people to spend the day with. I have to admit, I was a little obsessed with the venue, yellows and grays and Kelly’s dress and the pure awesomeness of the way the day was pulled together. More images to come tomorrow!!

Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
