The were friends. That’s it… but maybe a little more. Scott made Kristen just laugh. He made her kids laugh, and they loved being around each other. Eventually the relationship turned and the two were dating, and then came the question! I can’t wait to photograph these two in October. I know their day will be just as spectacular as they are!








A tour is where it began. Alissa came to the University of Minnesota looking into graduate school. Chris, being a grad student in music theory and Alissa looking into studying it as well, hit it off right away. Chris showed her around the campus, answered questions that she had and told her more about the program. Little did they both know that they would be studying in the same classes that next year. The reconnected in a class together and quickly became friends.
Fast forward a few years, Chris took Alissa to one of their favorite spots in Connecticut where they were living called Lighthouse Point Park. Pretty early on into the walk, Chris took Alissa out to a dock where he got down on a knee and proposed while Alissa worried that the ring might fall into the water! After a short picnic and a drive along the coast, the two happily called friends and family and celebrated for dinner.
Their wedding day was filled with musical inspiration. Both being musicians, the ceremony and reception were filled with beautiful musical pieces! Chris and Alissa, it was a joy to work with you. Blessings to you as you start off your new life together!!!














And here is your slide show!
Chris and Alissa were amazing to work with and to photograph. Their wedding day was amazing as were all the details that helped accentuate the beautiful day! More 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!
