Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – Northfield Mn Wedding – Dan & Loretta

29 August 2009 Wedding

Dan and Loretta booked their wedding with me nearly a year ago and were my first booking of 2009. I cannot believe how time flies. I had been looking forward to photographing them for a long time. D+L were absolutely a delight to work with…it just felt like working with friends. I have been so fortunate this year to such awesome clients.

There is something very special between D+L, I saw this instantly at their engagement session. There is something quite noticeable about the way that Dan looks at Loretta and vice versa. The day was full of emotion and happiness and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it. Thanks D+L for letting me capture your day!!!

The Wedding and Reception were in Northfield, Minnesota. It was my first time there and I absolutely loved the rural charm.

While getting ready, Loretta received a gift from Dan…below was her reaction. One of my favorite shots of the day (below) This was Dan’s first glimpse at Loretta as she came down the aisle The next two shots make my eyes really happy! Such a heartfelt toast to the bride and groom. There is something about the image below that I just love…the motion and blur on the dancefloor…awww

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – Elm Creek Chalet Wedding – Hans & Megan

23 August 2009 Wedding

I absolutely loved this wedding. It rained all day, but that didn’t stop Megan from having the outdoor ceremony she had always wanted. We lucked out and the weather remained perfect for the entire ceremony. This couple was absolutely wonderful to work with. The wedding went so smoothly and was such a pleasure to photograph. I’m so lucky to work with such great people. Thanks Hans and Megan for the amazing privilege of capturing your wedding! BTW, remember their engagement session…take a peek at how cute they were (are)

Ceremony: Salem Covenant Church in New Brighton, MN

There is something special about the way a groom looks at his bride for the first time. The image above and below were captured within seconds of each other. I love the way they are looking at each other.

Hans and Megan suggested that since they were new to the whole kissing idea, that they needed some tips for kissing. Every time the clinking of the glasses would begin, H+M would call on a couple at the reception to show them how to kiss. (See next 2 photos)

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – Moundsview Community Center – Matt & Melissa

12 August 2009 Wedding

Allow me to introduce one of my nicest couples…Matt & Melissa. You may remember them from their St Paul engagement session…it was their shoot when I got mooned by a bunch of guys. Good times and a good laugh!!! Although there was no mooning that took place, we did have a lady drive up to us in her car while I was photographing the bride and groom and ask if we needed a pastor for the wedding. I may be going out on a limb here, but I would expect that most, if not all, couples would have this little detail figured out before the wedding day. Matt & Melissa, I was honored to be a part of your day and I hope you enjoy this preview!!! Best of Luck to you two!!!!

May possibly be my favorite groomsmen shot of all time Just before the ceremony, this is where M+M held hands without seeing each other. I absolutely love the expression and emotion here.
