Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – John Sharpe Photography Blog

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer John Sharpe is a photographer that specializes in wedding, portrait, and lifestyle photography in Minneapolis St Paul and Twin Cities Minnesota

Meet John!

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I specialize in Wedding & Portrait photography. My photography seeks to express emotion. I wake up each day and adhere to a strict diet of eating, drinking, and sleeping photography. I love nothing more than to capture two people in love. My camera allows me to captures moments that may go otherwise unnoticed. I’m not your “stand there while I count 1,2,3…Cheese” type of photographer. My past clients would tell you it’s likely you will see me shooting from trees, hanging off boat docks, laying on my stomach in sub-zero temperature, or standing over the edge of a bridge. I do whatever it takes to “get the shot”. I love shooting people and can honestly say “I’m livin’ the dream”.

I live with my amazing wife Emily, my daughter Eliza, and my sweet dog Zoe. When I'm not carrying my camera around, I enjoy cycling, rollerblading, and listening to live music. Trying out unique food (Thai, Indian, Turkish, Russian, etc.) makes me happy!

If my marriage was a child, it would be starting kindergarten!!!

20 June 2009 Couples,Personal

This week Emily and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. I cannot believe how time flies. Our marriage just seems to keep getting better and better. Even though our anniversary was on Thursday, we were able to finally go out tonight. We made dinner reservations at the ever fabulous Pazzaluna. It’s a very nice and tasty restaurant in St Paul. Emily wanted me to make sure and bring the camera to get some shots to remember this special day. Fortunately, I brought the camera, but unfortunately, I forgot the memory card. Doh!! So when we got home, Em made me make it up to her. We pulled out some of my lighting and staged a quick shoot of the two of us. For anyone who has tried this, it is not easy. Plus, it was getting quite dark. Well we lucked out and got a few nice images. Em, I love you more and I look forward to many many many more wonderful years together!!

Matthew & Stephanie Engagement – Minneapolis Portrait/Wedding Photographer

15 June 2009 Couples

Adorable couple…Matthew & Stephanie had been engaged for less than 24 hours when this engagement session was shot. They were just on cloud 9! The awesome was just pouring off them. So cute together and so natural. Nothing is more gratifying to me than capturing the love between two people. I think these photos sum up their love for one another. Thanks M+S, I had such a great time with you two.

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – Fort Snelling Chapel – Nathaniel & Sim

13 June 2009 Wedding

Sim & Nathaniel’s wedding was just perfect. They were a little shy when we did their engagement session a few months ago, but the wedding day was a different story. They couldn’t help not smiling or enjoying each other. We avoided the rain (barely) and had such a wonderful day. The ceremony was at Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel. Then we headed over to Minnehaha Falls to get the bride and groom alone. The reception was at the Embassy Suites. N+S you two were so great to work with and I wish you the best!!!

Ceremony: Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel
Reception: Embassy Suites – Minneapolis Airport
Flowers: Paeonia Floral
