I like to think that weddings are what they have always been. Dreams. When we are young we imagine what that special day is going to be like. We give it a skeleton shape in our brains and fill in the fleshy parts with our imagination. Its this concept of imagining that I hold dear to what has fueled and inspired me through my years of doing this. Wedding photography isn’t about what grandma did, its not about what your parents did and its not what your best friend is doing. Wedding photography is a chance for me to take that skeleton of an idea someone had as a kid and bring it to life, give it a soul. I still believe that every wedding should tell a story, but my favorite stories were always the ones with the most pictures.

We believe in keeping things simple and natural, and we’re passionate about making your experience personal from start to finish.

How does your style differentiate you? My style is very playful and artistic. When working with the couple, my goal is to make natural and interesting photos of them. I do this by having both a knack for photojournalism (I have experience working for a newspaper) and having a creative editorial eye. I initially direct the couple and then capture their relationship and idiosyncrasies in a visually appealing way.

What wedding tradition would you like to see get more love? Themes! I LOVE it when a bride puts together a theme for her wedding. It gives the wedding an identity and mood. I’m a detail person and I love photographing all of those little details.

Why weddings? I love photographing weddings because it’s people photography and I love people. Weddings also allow me to have creative freedom. All my couples trust my vision and over the years I’ve had tremendous amounts of fun photographing couples and wedding parties in all sorts of locations and settings. With weddings, you can be as creative as you want, or as stiff as you want. I choose to be as creative as I can!

What should people know about what you do? I am a full-time photographer specializing in wedding and lifestyle photography. I believe that it’s important for every photographer to have a forte. There are many types of photography and while certain skills overlap, I believe that it’s important to hire a full-time wedding photographer rather than a some- times wedding photographer. The skill set to anticipate important moments and the ability to handle different lighting situations at a wedding takes a lot of practice and consistency…something that a some-times photographer may not have experience with.

What is your favorite part of a wedding? I have come to enjoy all parts of a wedding because each part offers different types of photos to be made. I love working with the couple and getting fun, natural photos of them in a unique way. I also love capturing those ephemeral emotional moments that bring you back to that time and place.

Cake or cupcakes? Why choose? Just have both!

What is your favorite part of a wedding? The moment the couple walks out together after the ceremony. They are so happy/relieved and ready to have fun!

Why weddings? I get giddy every time I am at a wedding, from the brides shoes, to the first time the couple sees each other, to the songs they play on the dance floor. I love that their is an opportunity to capture the full story of the day for them, and the expressions on their faces that ‘say it all’. To show them those moments later, and the feeling that rushes back when they see the photo. I feel like I and can truly relate to what the bride (and groom) are going through and I want to make sure they stay relaxed and have fun (oh yeah, and get great photos!).

What should people know about what you do? I am extremely organized and I help them manage the timeline of the day and make sure we are all on the same page before the wedding day comes. I like to get to know them as friends so that the day of the wedding they are super comfortable with me.

What new wedding tradition do you want to get more love? Doing your own thing! There are no rules (besides the vows), make it your own! Personally, I love the idea of letting each bridesmaid wear a different dress or hold different flowers. Also funky shoes and socks rock!

How does your style differentiate you? What sets you apart? I think my style captures the day and tells the full story in a documentary way, but also brings in an element of fun/stylized photos that will bring out the couples personalities.

Are your clients mostly from Minnesota? Probably most of them are from Minnesota, but I have also photographed weddings in places like Punta Cana Dominican Republic, Vail Colorado, St. Thomas Virgin Islands, Riviera Maya Mexico, and other states in the Midwest. I love finding the beauty in whatever location I’m in.

Cake or cupcakes? Cake for adults, cupcakes for the kids, then you get to do both.

Do you ever watch the wedding shows on TV (say yes to the dress, bridezilla, etc)? You would think I would avoid these shows when I’m not “working” but I do find my self turning them on if I’m “flipping”. (although I rarely have time to watch TV besides in the winter when I’m in hibernation). More so the ones that give cute ideas like Martha Stewart. I also like to watch what the photographers do!

I love photographing weddings, and consider myself lucky to be a part of so many wonderful events each year. My photojournalistic style allows me to be unobtrusive and capture the feel of your wedding, with creative candids and fun formal portraits.

When people ask me what sets me apart, I have two answers. The first is the quality of the images that I provide, which I think speaks for itself. The second is how I approach each wedding as a unique event. I know that for you, this isn’t just a business transaction. This is your one chance to record a uniquely special day. That’s why I give all my clients access to all the files of their photographs, and make a special effort to understand the unique challenges and opportunities that each wedding provides.
