Camrose Hill Flower Farm, Stillwater :: Wedding

Three years ago when Eva interviewed Max for a job at Children’s Hospital, she was not only intrigued by the way he was extremely suited for the job, but for who he was as a person. Easy going and casual, Max was easy to be around and Eva found herself enjoying his company more and more when they worked together.

The two started dating and two years later at the end of February, Max planned a hike for the tow of them at Lebanon Hills during the candlelight festival that they hold every year in the snow. Unfortunately the snow melted early that year and the paths turned to ice. As he and Eva walked (and slipped) along the path, Eva continued to ask him what was happening. Trying to be romantic and find the perfect spot, cold trying and keep Eva from getting upset, the two ended up heading back to their apartment. Upon their arrival, Max ended up getting down on one knee and completely surprising Eva by asking her to be his wife!

Both Eva and Max had hoped for a September wedding, but like so many couples in 2020, ended postponing it to this May, and I am so glad they did. Their small and intimate ceremony at Camrose HIll Flower Farm was bursting with color and life. We took advantage of all the blooms in the garden by strolling the pathways. Eva’s beautiful ivory and blush tulle dress fit in perfectly for the feel of the farm. Max’s navy suit from Foursquare looked stunning when paired with the wildflower bouquet that Camrose created. Eva’s beautiful dark hair was pulled into a stunning up-do from Sarah Jane Salon. Their stationary, created by Eva’s step-father, Wally Preissing, was perfect when paired with rings from Jared and Enso were beautiful. Anna from Adagio brought some incredible music while Rack Shack BBQ catered in an incredible meal and Muddypaws brought their delectable bite sized cheesecakes.

    New Brighton Wedding:: Allison and Rob

    Getting married in the middle of a pandemic was not their plan at all, but last May among 8 other people, Rob and Allison did not let Covid get the best of them. The DC based couple flew to Minnesota and on a beautiful May day were wed in a St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in New Brighton.

    The spring blooms were just starting to peek, so we utulized the property taking photos of the two of them after the ceremony. The couple’s Minnesota family came by driving with signs, songs and well wishes after the couple was married creating a long line of cars on the beautiful Saturday afternoon.

    I wish you both joy and happiness as you continue forward in this amazing journey of marriage, happy first anniversary!

      White Bear Lake Yacht Club Wedding:: Heather and Greg

      Today I’m heading back to the archives to a wedding that wasn’t published. Back in 2018, I had the joy of photographing Heather and Greg and their intimate wedding day.

      Being a doctor doesn’t afford much time for dating, so when Heather and Greg met online, and connected right away, the two knew that their relationship might be going somewhere. The two dated long distance for about a year when Greg popped the question and Heather answered with a resounding yes!

      The two were wed in St. Paul on an early September morning. The rain held off for most of the day, but the chill of the fall was upon all of us. After the ceremony we headed to the Como Conservatory for photos in their lush outdoor gardens and then over to White Bear Lake Yacht Club. A fire roared as appetizers and wine were passed around to the guests. Heather and Greg managed a few photos along the stunning shoreline and then made their way inside for an incredible meal, conversation and joyous celebration

      Heather and Greg, it was an honor to document your day and I wish you both so much joy and happiness.

          Janell and Pawan:: backyard Edina wedding

          “Hey there, what’s next on your travel bucket list?” Pawan asked Jenell as his opening line when the two connected online.

          Faroe Islands was Janell’s response and the two began a conversation about it on their first date. Never in a million years, would Jenell envision that when that trip finally did come for the two of them, Pawan would end the entire trip on the top of a mountain with a ring in his hand asking Jenell to be his wife.

          The adventuring partners moved forward in planning their 2020 wedding, but everything came to a screeching halt when Covid hit. With Pawan’s family in India and Jenell’s father terminally ill, the couple made the hard decision to move forward with their plans and get married in their backyard on a beautiful August day. Surrounded by the family that could make it and a few friends, Jenell and Pawan were wed. Family from India watched via Zoom and the incredible intimacy of the day created memories to last a lifetime.

          Jenell’s stunning dress from Che Bella was perfect for the backyard wedding. Paired with the beautiful florals from Ink and Ivy Designs, the colors popped against the August greens. Pawan’s gray suit from Milbern Clothing Company was a perfect touch of sophistication and elegance. The intimacy and love that Jenell and Pawan exuded was apparent to all who witnessed them get married. It was a joy and honor to be a part of their incredible day. Congratulations!
