Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – A St Paul engagement Proposal Story – Adam and Kyla

There really is something special and gratifying about being a photographer.  It’s cheesy and a bit cliché, but I love freezing moments in time.  Last week I was contacted by Adam to capture him asking his girl to marry him.  I jumped at the idea and knew it would be a moment full of emotion.  It wasn’t till after I got home last night and began looking at the images, that I realized how special and important it was to capture this moment for these two!  I just kept wishing that I would have hired someone to capture my proposal to my wife.  There are so many momentous events (Birth Stories and Engagement Proposals are just a couple that come to mind) in our lives that go unphotographed (just made up that word).  How many married people looking at this post would loved to have this moment documented?  So if you’re looking for this type of session for an upcoming proposal…let me know!

 

For this shoot, I couldn’t help but feel like a ninja.  I was hiding out by the kitchen and shot the first image in the restaurant through some dishes.  Sure was a lot of fun!  Adam had the restaurant play a few of his and Kyla’s favorite songs during dinner with the family.  She just thought they were playing some great music…

Minneapolis Wedding Photography – Stillwater MN Wedding – (part 1 of 2)

I don’t typically publish multiple parts to a wedding, but for this one, I’m making an exception.  This wedding was shot a few weeks ago in Stillwater, MN.  I loved the bridal shot taken with Nikki so much that I wanted to devote a whole post to it.  Nikki looked stunning with her dress and veil…the added bonus was the location…Water Street Inn.  This location perfectly suited the vintage look and feel of the photos. 

In case you missed it… check out Mike & Nikki’s Taxi Cab Engagement Session

Stay tuned for the remainder of their wedding photos later this week!

Burnsville High School Senior Photography – Cam

Meet Cam…he’s one of John Sharpe Photography’s 2010 Senior Reps.  We shot his session this past week and this kid has a very bright future ahead.  Maybe, I shouldn’t call him a kid…Cam is 6’-6” and 225lbs.  My only regret for this shoot was that I didn’t bring my step ladder. Cam is the starting quarterback for Burnsville High School.  He’s got a lot of top Colleges looking at him for his skill on the field.  Cam’s talent, however, doesn’t end on the football field.  Cam is all around nice guy and hard worker.  He’s on the Student Council and is a great leader.  Cam’s a stud and we’re really HAPPY with the images from this session!

When it comes to High School Senior Photography, we want our Seniors to have images they can be proud of.  I don’t want Cam to look back at his Senior pictures in ten years and say, “Wow, I was such a dork!”.  John Sharpe Photography is not about anything cheesy.  We seek to capture the senior as he/she really is.  We’re excited to have Cam as one of our reps this year. 

If you’re looking for something a little different for your Senior photos, talk to Cam for more info or contact me directly.

Here’s Cam’s Session:
