the custom hotel

Yes, I know who blogs about at hotel!?  And here I go.  The last day in CA we stayed in LA at this super funky hotel called the Custom Hotel (see web site HERE, and their web-site photos are waaaay better than mine).

We walked into the lobby and I knew my husband had chosen this place for me.  As soon as we entered our room, I snatched out my camera and told Kevin to huddle in the corner while I tried to capture the ambiance of the room.  It reminded me of the Walker Art center in Minneapolis, it was just so funky; I mean, dog comforters?!  So cool!

If you are flying out of LAX in the new future, consider this wonderfully modern hotel!

I want my shampoo bottles to look and smell like this!

Happy Friday!

    Minneapolis Engagement: Candace and Keith

    Like two peas in a pod, so are Candace and Keith.  They met randomly at a Georgia/ Florida tailgating party. She with her girlfriends and hm with his buddies,  Candace recalls how good looking she thought Keith was.  The two hit it off immediately, and after getting to know them a bit, I understand why!

    With the two living in Georgia, I was so glad we were able to meet before their wedding day to do their engagement session.  I laughed a lot with them and we had a great time perusing Loring Park in Minneapolis.  I can not wait for their October wedding!

    Should be some home rivalry when these two watch football together.  They are still truly devoted to their teams, but will agree to disagree!Congrats to you both!  I can not wait to work with you!

      The girl and the dress

      As a photographer I get to see so many different styles of weddings.  One of my favorite is the wedding dress.  I had my intern, Lauren, pick a few of her favorites to post from the past 3 years.  Here are the beauties that she pulled!

      Happy Wednesday!

        Happy Planning!

        I have been meeting with many brides for the last few weeks who are in that wonderful, creative, and overwhelming stage of planning their weddings.  I follow a few wonderful planning sites that are amazing at keeping up with the trends while showing off numerous weddings and ideas.  As overwhelming as it can be, each wedding I have shot, and looked at, is completely unique to the two beautiful individuals being married that day.  If you are in that stage, enjoy every second of it.  Seven years after planning my own, I am still in love with the many artistic ideas that are out there!

        Happy planning!

          Joe and Karna

          Karna and I met freshman year of college.  I remember my first impressions of her; bubbly, loving, friendly,go-getter, and caring woman.  Ten years later she is still that same woman and more.  She has inspired me through and through.  I remember her working late nights in the communications department, and all that hard work has paid off.  She is now working for WCCO as a web producer and is amazing at her job.  Joe providentially was placed in her world a few years ago and it has been really fun to be on the sidelines watching their relationship blossom.  During the engagement session (see HERE) I was able to get to know the two of them better together (before then it had only been in group settings), and I loved the way that they loved and cared for each other.

          Much of this was apparent on their extremely beautiful wedding day.  The two decided on a March morning wedding because they love St. Paul and wanted guests to take advantage of the city.  Karna and Joe met for the first time in Rice Park, and because it was so early, there was no one around.  It was like a fairy tale, and to be honest, I cried.  Not only then, but during the ceremony.  It was such a joyful occasion, I was so thrilled to be on the insides capturing the day for them.

          Karna texting Joe when they were about to meet: ” I’ll be the one in the white dress.”

          I was in love with their color scheme: Black, white and yellow.  When I recieved the invite to the wedding I eeked because I loved them so much!  They tied it all together so well!

          After the ceremony and reception, we headed out for some photos of the two of them on Grand Ave and down to Micky’s Diner.Thank you Karna and Joe for allowing me to be a part of your day, I was honored and loved getting to know the two of you better.  Much love and blessings to you!
