Sawyer is 1!

Cake, balloons, an empty floor and a little boy.  All this equals 1 big mess and a very fun photo session.  This is the Nelsons 14th session from their engagement, to their wedding, the births of both children as well as their major milestones, I have been able to be a part of their lives!  I have to say, they have been some of my most loyal clients.  I do appreciate you and the many sessions and friendship that we all have.  This session was so much fun… special thanks to Duke, their dog, who cleaned up the mess for us when we were finished!

    Steve and Leia- Temple Israel and Windows on Minnesota wedding

    “Maybe you’ll meet the woman you are going to marry today,” a friend of Steve’s joked as they walked along the golfing green at a benefit.  Steve laughed and shook his head.  He had other things to think about.  Being the assistant minority representative in the MN house of Representatives brought enough, and it was not the day that he was going to meet “the one”. Especially at a golfing benefit.

    A woman’s cheerful laugh caught his attention.  He looked over and then looked again.  She was smiling, beautiful, and then she caught his eye.    Steve’s friend ,now known to all as, Chip, knew the lobbiest and introduced the two.  They chatted throughout the day together and flirted like crazy. He asked he out for a drink after the benefit and she agreed. The two quickly realized that they had a lot in common. After a few years of dating, one night Steve brought Leia out on the deck of their home.  Watching the sunset over the city, he proposed.  Their January wedding day was beautiful!  Oranges, pinks, reds, blacks and whites were woven throughout the the day as was lots of laughter and joy.

    Thank you Steve and Leia for including me in your big day.  You were beautiful and I wish you both all the best!

      Steve and Leia- details of a Minneapolis wedding

      Steve and Leia’s winter wedding was perfect!  The weather was far from freezing and they were up for trying anything!  The details helped make this wedding beautiful!

      Leia’s dress was purchased at Priscilla of Boston (she was lucky enough to have received it before all the stores closed!)  It was a Vera Wang dress style being Ethel, and it looked A-Maz-ing on her!

      Leia and her bridesmaids work Kelly & Katie shoes.

      Mici O’Grady  did all of the women’s makeup with Mac products and Tracy Glenn did Leia’s hair as well as all the other women in the party.

      Leia’s jewelry (earrings and bracelet) and her black reception sash were all done by Maria Elena, and  purchased each piece from Priscilla of Boston.

      Her veil (which looked stunning on her) was also purchased from Priscilla of Boston.

      All the bridesmaids selected their own long black gowns.

      The groomsmen also wore their own ark grey suits and Steve provided the red tie that they each wore.

      Steve’s ring is from Bergstrom Jewelers, and Leia’s eternity band is by Tacori and was purchased at Arthur’s Jewelers, in Roseville.

      The ceremony was held at Temple Israel in Minneapolis.

      A group from the Minnesota Orchestra brought the beautiful music to the ceremony.

      mimi design was the overall amazing vendor for the day… they provided wedding planning for the day, created the stationary for the day (invites, programs, menu’s, place cards) and provided all the decor for the table design,  all the floral arrangements, table design, and layout (including the baby’s breath on the chuppah for the ceremony).  Side note: As a vendor they were wonderful to work with!!

      Windows on Minnesota held the reception while Instant Request provided the music.

      I loved the idea that Leia and Steve used for their guest book.  Because the couple went to Thailand for their honeymoon, they had guests sign into a photo book of Thailand.

      Cocoa and Fig provided the yummy dessert bar.

      More to come tomorrow of this beautiful couple!

        Max is three months

        A month ago I spent the afternoon with a great friend of mine and her baby Max.  I always love photographing babies.  Max was smiling the afternoon away, especially when his mommy spoke.  He was melting our hearts with his beautiful grin!  Here are some we were able to capture that afternoon!

          Troy + Nikkole= Kate

          It is always such a joy to see previous clients! Nikkole and Troy were married back in 2007, and I was fortunate enough to be a part of their beautiful wedding day.  Early November Kate arrived gracing the Zierden home with her presence.  Coming early, she gave Nikkole and Troy a great surprise.  She is tiny, beautiful, and already full of spunk!  (What other 7 week old can hold up her head and look completely fashionable in a bomber hat?!)  Thanks Zierdens for letting me into your home!
