closeNot only is she a wonderful mommy and wife, but she is one of my dearest friends! Gavin was born in August and I was thrilled to see Jana in action as a mommy! I had the great opportunity to photograph Gavin at just a few days old and then again for his three month photos. I am so looking forward to watching this little guy grow.
I had the opportunity to get to know this sweet family on a cold winter day. They were kind enough to brave the cold and bring out their dogs for a family photo!
They love the park, the library, and being together. All qualities that make the Tebbe family so enjoyable to be around. We got a great winter day to photograph at as well as a beautiful location. Half the time was spent playing, and the other half sort of “posing” for the camera. Some of my favorites are just of this family being together.
When she said she wanted snow, I don’t think she was hoping for a foot in 4 hours! But that is exactly what Will and Amy got for their December 11th wedding. Nevertheless, they were both completely content and excited to be getting married. We tried to get a few outdoor shots, but the shock of the wind was almost overwhelming, so we stuck inside for many of the photos. I was thrilled to find a bunch of different locations around the inside that got some great natural light, and worked with the for a few minutes to capture just what their wedding day weather really was.
And after a sweet day of shooting, home sweet home, and the view from my front window! ( I can’t remember this much snow falling in a long time!)
It was a pleasure working with you both, many of God’s richest blessings to you as you walk the road together.
A beautiful wedding for two of the nicest people and such fabulous creative pictures!!!
She was hoping for snow, and she got it in true Minnesota fashion! December 11th was truly a day to remember not only for the blizzard conditions, but for the wedding of Will and Amy. They were such troopers and so were their fabulous vendors. It was a true winter wonderland and it was beautiful.
Amy’s dress was from David’s Bridal, and it was stunning on her.
Will’s mother, who has her own line of jewelry, made the bridesmaids and Amy’s jewelry.
Men’s Warehouse held the tuxes that Will and his Groomsmen wore.
Forever Floral created all the floral arrangements for the day.
The Ladies dresses were from David’s bridal as well, and they fit well with the winter wonderland day.
Jared’s at in the Galleria created Will’s ring and Amy’s ring was created by Boone and Son’s Jewelers in Washington DC.
storkie.com created the invites.
The Reception was held at Shoreview Community Center and was the snowiest I had seen it in years!
One of Amy’s bridesmaids works as a cake designer for Queen of Cakes in Edina. I have seen some fabulous cakes come out of the place. This wedding was no exception. Will’s cake (because he works for Delta) was decorated with airplanes. It was great!
I loved what Amy and Will did for their reception. They had a hot chocolate bar equipped with all the fixins as well as Christmas cookies. It felt so cozy and was perfect for the snowy weather.
I also just loved all the details that created the warm feel of the reception. Everything from the ornaments next to the place cards to the favor of hot chocolate to take home. It was a beautiful day.
More to come tomorrow of this wonderful couple!
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
