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!

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 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!

It is not often that I get the pleasure of taking pictures at a small intimate wedding. I was honored to be chosen as the wedding photographer for Rebecca and Paul’s wedding on May 24th. The wedding was hosted at a lovely home in Eden Prairie, MN.

Paul and Rebecca at the Flying Cloud Airport

When I arrived, I immediately felt a true sense of peace, family and love. It was such an honor to capture such an extraordinary event without all the rush and often chaotic frenzy that is associated with “the big day.” In just a few hours I got to see what love and commitment meant to this couple and what kind of life they will lead as they travel into the unknown. With that spirit I took them to Staring Lake Park and then to Flying Cloud Airport to take the Bride and Groom pictures. Rebecca and Paul, thank you so much choosing me as your wedding photographer. I truly enjoyed it and was delighted and refreshed to see such intimacy associated with the wedding day. I wish you two the best in your future endeavors!

Kathey and Eric's Wedding Pictures Thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer. Your wedding was wonderful. I don’t see many weddings as intimate as yours. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and laid back feeling of everyone in the group, including you guys! It seemed like everyone knew each other and was very comfortable. I know that you had a great time. I wish you all the best in your upcoming years. I can’t wait to meet the little one you are expecting, and of course to be your photographer for your reception this fall.

Finally! A Relaxing Destination Wedding

Congratulations Tadd and Maggie on your BEAUTIFUL WEDDING!!!

Tadd and Maggie Wedding

I forgot what a treat it was to attend a wedding and NOT have the stress of being the hired wedding photographer.
My cousin-in-law was married at the Ana y José Beach Club in Tulum Mexico. This happens to be the first beach wedding I have ever attended, although I am sure it will not be the last! This wedding was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It was also a WONDERFUL escape from the arctic winter here in Minneapolis St. Paul, Minnesota.

To reduce my urge to intrude on the other photographer, I forced myself to bring only one camera, one lens and no flash. So I brought my Canon EOS 5D and Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. This is an excellent setup for use in good light as long as you are not trying to get huge depth of field effects that can only be achieved by a faster lens.
