Having the best wedding photographer in Minnesota really pays off! Katie and Nick’s wedding pictures turned out fantastic. This cover image you see is edited using a new technique I am playing with that mimics the Sin City look. If you look further down this page you will see an engagement picture with the same look. The wedding pictures from this wedding turned out fantastic, and Katie and Nick were a treat to work with! If you are still looking for the best wedding photographer in Minnesota, look no further!

This is why the Stone Arch Bridge area is the best place in Minnesota for engagement pictures…. Especially when you have them done by the best photographer in Minnesota! There is SO much to see and do in this area that there are virtually limitless options for photos and creativity. Even though many clients choose the Stone Arch Bridge area for their engagement pictures, the photos always completely unique and BEAUTIFUL. Joni and Cole are no exception. Enjoy the pictures!

Clare and Brent came with me to a signature engagement photo destination under the Stone Arch Bridge. This location is becoming increasingly popular with clients because of the incredible view of the Minneapolis skyline and rustic natural backdrops below the bridge. Claire and Brent meandered down railroad tracks and skipped stones in the river for some awesome engagement pictures.

Nick and Katie were so easy work with. They were bright, upbeat, and willing to go the extra mile to have a good time (and a great photo shoot!) The proof is in the pudding, errr… I mean pictures! We rented a horse drawn carriage to ride around Minneapolis and get some fun and unique pictures. These two couldn’t have picked a better time of day for this photo session. Under the setting sun, Nick and Katie played in a field of cottony dandelions for some amazing silhouette pictures at the end of their carriage ride.

Sarah and James joined me for a fun and energetic photo session at the Stone Arch Bridge near downtown Minneapolis. This is one of my favorite locations to take pictures because of the huge variety of scenery. Here, engagement photos can have a backdrop of a beautiful city skyline, lush forest, grassy parks, boardwalk paths, babbling brooks, or an old fashioned stone bridge cutting through the Mississippi, all in one location! Sarah and James had a great time wading through the water and climbing up rock ledges while we found the perfect places to shoot. They were naturals in front of the camera, and the pictures are proof in themselves of all the fun they had.

These wedding pictures were taken north of Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii. Jennifer and Jin rented a beautiful vacation home right on the Bay Golf Course overlooking the ocean. Family and friends flew in from Washington for this fantastic and intimate wedding. I have discovered that the most difficult part of my job now is narrowing down the photos to put on this blog!!! The wedding took place outdoors, of course, on a beautiful island where the weather is always perfect. After the ceremony, the families partied it up with live music and fondue! I had a lot of fun at this wedding, and I wish Jin and Jennifer the best in their journey together. Enjoy the photos!

These engagement photos were taken on Kamaoel Beach in Kihei, Hawaii on the island of Maui. Jennifer and Jin were a blast to work with and were truly naturals around the camera. They had a great time strolling along the beach and splashing through the surf. At one point Jin almost threw his fiancee into the ocean! It was so great to meet this fun loving pair and a joy to shoot their wedding photos as well. I will be back to Hawaii soon to make more use of its excellent scenery.

These engagement pictures were taken on the beautiful island of Maui. It’s no surprise that this session was laid back, Hawaiian style, with perfect weather and a gorgeous mountain backdrop. Adrienne and Josh strolled along the beach and splashed in the ocean to make for some cool photo ops. I had a great time with them and will definitely enjoy returning to tropical paradise to shoot their wedding pictures this summer!

Last week I photographed a fire show put on by Kauai’s own Soul Fire. They have a spectacular display and I highly recommend that next time you are in Kauai, Hawaii, you make it a priority to see their show!
Enjoy the pictures! [Read more →]

This was a fantastic wedding with one of the most entertaining receptions I have ever been to. These guys really know how to party – and in high class! After the ceremony, excitement filled the air as the bride and groom exited the chapel right into a surprise ambush by the St. Paul police dept. Everyone laughed as the couple was handcuffed in a mock rendition of their unlucky Republican National Convention experience put on by the groomsmen. This fun-loving crowd was a real pleasure to work with; Lindsay and John were great sports and even dove into the snow at the end of the night to make some angels for the camera. Enjoy the wedding pictures!
