Tommy & Lauren:: Details of a Minneapolis wedding

Posted in Details, Minneapolis, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , ,

I am so thankful for all my clients. Getting to know them is one of the things I love about my job!  But getting to know a couple to the core, what makes them tick, what moves them, how they grew up, family dynamics, how they fell in love, is truly what I love about my job and only happens to this depth once in a while.  Tommy and Lauren were one of those couples, not only to me, but to Kevin as well.

My husband is not only a dashingly handsome funny man, he is also a youth pastor, and for this matter, Tommy’s youth pastor.  He and I got to watch Tommy grow and mature into the man he is today for the last 7 years that we have known him.  When he and Lauren asked if Kevin would officiate the wedding and he and I do their premarital counseling with them, we were able to go to get to know them together as a couple in such a great way.

We made is a complete family affair when they asked our kids to be in the wedding!  I shot it, Kevin married them, and our kiddos walked the aisle.  It was such a wonderful day to be a part of and one that I know we will all never forget!

 

More to come tomorrow!!

Planner: Lonnie Peterson

Hair: Inspiration Salon

Caterer: Lookout Grill

Florist: deBruyn Designs

    It was a full weekend to say the least!!  A wedding, baby shower and a full day of short and sweet sessions filled with unpredictable weather!!  Here is just a sneak from the wedding I shot, I was thrilled to have been able to have the flowering trees in full bloom as they are just one of my very favorite things about spring!

      Jake & Dani:: Silverwood Wedding

      Posted in Minneapolis, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

      They have known each other since 4th grade, yet at that point, neither had marriage on their mind.  It was more coodies and boy/ girl germs, yet throughout many connections through their church Dani and Jake’s paths continued to cross.  They both attended rival high schools, and in 11th grade the couple started dating.  They went to prom together and even ventured a year to college together.

      Last fall Jake surprised Dani with a trip up to Taylors falls.  When she arrived, she knew it was not a tip like any other.  Jake had very carefully and secretly had friends line a path of flower petals and to a picnic area overlooking the St. Croix River.  He brought out his guitar and played Adam Sandler’s “Grow Old with You” from the Wedding Singer on her guitar.  Feeling both overjoyed and elated, Dani could hardly believe it was happening.  After the song, Jake got down on one knee and asked his 4th grade friend to be his wife.

      It was a joy for me to be documenting this day because a few years ago, I was documenting Dani’s senior photos!!  How quickly the time has passed!!

      Dani and Jake, it was awesome to be with you during your wedding day.  You are extremely beautiful people to be around and I know throughout the years the Lord will truly bless your marriage, thank you for allowing me to be with you! It was a joy!

      And here is your slide-show!  Enjoy!!

        For Photographers:: Client get to know you doc

        Posted in For photographers, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , ,

        Today I am responding to some wonderful photogs on a forum that I just recently joined.  It is awesome and has challenged me at this point in my business to re-start, re-vamp and really think deeply about where I want to take my business.  What has been working for the past years is now changing, and rather than stand still and wait, I am moving forward to where I want to be.  Being 10+ years in business, things have changed over time, but one thing has remained a constant; clients want to be known.  This blog post comes from a response to a question on the forum.

        Because I really like to get to know my clients, and because after the wedding day I want to be able to send out their wedding as soon as possible for submissions as well as vendors, I have found this wonderful client questionnaire document  helpful.  It is actually adapted from Justin and Mary’s site, so I give them all the credit.  I have changed things according to my liking, but I hope it brings you help as you need it!

        Happy shooting!!
