Dan and Kirsten 10.16.09

One of my favorite intimate weddings yet!   Dan and Kirsten are just such an amazing couple.  When I first met with Kirsten we hit it off right away, being that our best friends are sisters.   I could hardly contain myself when she told me that their wedding was going to be an intimate one, with only 30 of their closest friends and family to be invited.  This allowed me to be able to be more creative because we had a very lose time line to stick to and many of the photos included all the people that were already there.  The rain and mist did not hold us back, we just used it for all it was worth, bringing out umbrellas and enjoying the company of close friends.  Breck High School chapel held the beautiful ceremony and Interlachen Country club in Edina hosted the party.  I got a glimpse on how beautiful this love is between Dan Kirsten and wish them all the best!  Blessings!kirsten and dan 19

My assistant and I were drooling over Kirsten’s amazing vintage style dress, we absolutely LOVED it!

      Luke and Jessica 10.03.09

      I have had the honor and privilege of knowing Jessica since we were in middle school.  We grew up going to the same camp and saw each other every summer.  Later in life I learned that she would be going to Northwestern college and became one of my sister’s best friends; we were able to see each other on a more regular basis.  When she told me in March that she was engaged, I was so happy for her and Luke.  The two of them met through mutual friends and hit it off right away when they found out that they were both in ministry.

      They are an amazing couple and had an amazing day for photos.  Throughout the morning it was off and on raining, but when we hit our period to shoot downtown photos, God smiled upon us and held off the rain from the time we started until the time we finished.  Literally as we were getting into our cars the rain became a slight mist into constant drizzle for the rest of the day!

      We were able to hit the very end of the mill city farmers market.  We walked through the area and found a lot to shoot.jess and luke 18jess and luke 22jess and luke 23jess and luke 15jess and luke 12jess and luke 4jess and luke 2jess and luke 1jess and luke 5

      We ended the day with a big ” We did it!”  Congrats to both of you, may the Lord make His face shine down upon you as you enter this beautiful covenant called marriage.

        i heart faces… week 40

        i heart faces- adults

        Excited is the theme of the week.  I was going through archives to find a photo.  This is a bride that I shot in 2007, she was extremely EXTACTIC that it was her wedding day.  It was raining so hard before we went out to shoot photos downtown and she insisted we stick to the plan.  I was pumped because she was more than willing to have a great time despite the weather.  “You only get married once, might as well have fun.” were her words for the day.   Thankfully the rain cleared for just about an hour and we were able to get the shots she wanted.  Again, I have to say, I love my job!Lexi & Sam159_edited-1

        Andy and Maria 08.22.09

        Andy and I grew up going to the same church, and crazy enough, his dad was my pastor for a number of years.  So when he called to say that he was getting married and was looking for a photographer, I nearly jumped out of my seat I was so excited.  His beautiful bride Maria is one of the sweetest girls and perfect match for him.  We laughed a lot together and the day was absolutely perfect for a wedding.
