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!

Thomas & Kristin – Minneapolis Family Photographer

7 November 2009 Couples

I’m beyond excited to introduce you to this couple. We met Thomas and Kristin right after they moved to Minneapolis a few years ago. They go to our church and so when they moved in we invited them to our place for dinner. Ever since then they have been our best friends here in Minnesota. They are the kind of friends that you can call up at moment’s notice and just hang out without a purpose. We pretty much entertain each other through goofing off and laughter. I was so happy when Kristin asked me to do a session for them. I love nothing more than capturing the emotion between a couple…it was extremely easy to capture these two!!! They are adorable together (see the proof below). Thomas and Kristin have been married for a few years and are still cute together (see proof below).

Emily and I are so lucky to have them here and will really miss them when Thomas completes law school in June. Thomas and Kristin…hope you guys LOVE these photos, because I sure do!!!!

These were the first few images of the shoot…Thomas’ true character showed through

I love this photo…we were just walking along and I asked Thomas to turn around and strike a pose

Thomas has the ability to make Kristin laugh on command (see proof below)

Kristin looks absolutely stunning…Thomas you’re kind of cute too

Town and Country Club, ST Paul Wedding Photographer | Casey & Mike

1 November 2009 Wedding

When I think about an October wedding…I think about the crisp air, autumn colors, and beautiful weather. I imagine Casey may have had similar thoughts while planning her wedding. Well as usual, Minnesota was unpredictable and we ended up with a terribly cold day with snow! Lucky for me, I had a wedding with a couple stacked head to toe with awesomeness. Casey and Mike did not let the snow and cold weather keep them from being outside for photos. If one were to just look out a window, the day actually looked gorgeous and the weather appeared beautiful till you walked outside and felt the brisk wind and cool temperatures. Mike planned and carried out arranging a golf cart which escorted him and Casey up to the top of a golf course overlooking the Minneapolis skyline. He even had a guitar which he used to serenade Casey. It was so fun to watch these two on their wedding day. They have something special and I think everyone could see that on the wedding day. Casey & Mike thanks so much for hanging in there for the photos on such a chilly day. It was a pleasure capturing your wedding day. Congrats you two!
