Jeff + Melissa

Jeff and Melissa had a beautiful small town wedding in Wells Minnesota. The wedding day was a perfect combination of elegant and fun. Melissa and her gals was stunning, Jeff and his guys were a riot, and we couldn't have had nicer weather. Perfect. One of my favorite parts, which came from out of nowhere, was how the ring bearer stole the show when it came to dancing at the reception. He may have some unorthodox moves but it works. Congrats to Jeff and Melissa! It was a blast to be a part of your amazing day.

Matt + Jenna

Jenna and Matt couldn't have had a more beautiful wedding and reception - which was fitting as they are such a beautiful couple with personalities to match. When I first met Matt and Jenna they had just brought a boxer puppy, Sam, into their family (so naturally I knew they were good people from the beginning.) 

We started the day with their epic first meeting at the church. This was such a special moment and Matt and Jenna's great taste in music really adds to it. Something that really stood out the entire wedding day was how much fun everyone was having. There was a smile everywhere I looked, and especially after the ceremony it was party time. We made a stop at the Westin and the stone arch bridge before heading to the reception which was at the Walker Art Center overlooking the Minneapolis skyline. It was gorgeous and went off without a hitch thanks to Mi Mi Design. 

Best of luck to Matt, Jenna and Sam as they start their new life together. Go Lightning!

Andra + Blake

Andra and Blake's wedding day started out with a downpour but quickly turned into a beautiful, sunny wedding on the Mississippi River at the Nicollet Island Pavilion. They had taken some video at a party of family and friends prior to the wedding that adds a fun lighthearted start to the beginning of their film.The girls started their day with hair and makeup and some champagne and the guys chose beer, cigars, and a game of dice - for money. I knew it was going to be a fun day. Possibly one which even involved us crashing a segway tour not to mention DANCINNNGGGG TIIIIMMEE! 

From their first meeting, to pastor Joel's words during the ceremony there are some very touching moments a well. One thing was clear, Andra and Blake are a perfect match! 

Andy + Dayna

I was lucky enough to work with this family before so I knew ahead of time that we were in for an awesome day. Everything was beautiful from the Church to the reception at BearPath and the weather was cinematic. There were plenty of emotional moments and some tears were shed, but more than anything this wedding day was marked by laughter, joy and celebration. (Dawn knows how to throw an epic party!) From a SmartCar, to a playground, to a target stop, to the bride carrying the groom, and much more the wedding of Andy and Dayna was a blast and an honor to be a part of! Conragts!

Tony + Jennifer

You just know that any wedding day that begins at 6:04AM with a race is going to be awesome. I was lucky enough to be invited to Fargo, ND to capture the first annual "T&J 2K Run/Walk" at Lindenwood Park, as well as the wedding of Tony and Jennifer. The athleticism didn't stop their either. Jenn who's quite an accomplished basketball player, wedding dress and all, played a little one-on-one with her Dad right before the ceremony. Jenn and Tony really made this wedding day their own. In addition to these unique/fun touches there are some very emotional moments as well. They are truly in love and it really comes through. 

Special thanks to Olivieri's Salon for allowing us to film as well as the very cool Hotel Donaldson in Fargo.

Ragenea + Dave

I had a blast to capturing Ragenea and Dave's wedding, not only because they are an awesome couple but they, with their very talented wedding planner Jaclyn Elizabeth, put together quiet the day! From a sword arch, scavanger hunt, some of the cutest children and babies ever, a beautifully cinematic day at the carlson rotunda with attention given to every detail, very cool swing dancing complete with a wardrobe changes for the guys, live music from the R Factor, and even a proposal after the bouquet toss! It was a beautiful day surrounded by love and fun.

Eric + Stephanie

 

First a big thank you to Debra O. Photography for letting us use some of her beautiful images in Eric and Stephanie's wedding video. 

There were so many amazing, cinematic, and love-filled moments that made this day very special and a blast to capture. From very touching toasts, to a grumpy then smily ring-bear, to some country music and margaritas and much more. Congrats Eric and Stephanie!

Spencer + Brittany

I remember when Spencer called and asked if June 13th was available. Even before I met him and Brittany in person at the studio I could tell they were going to be a very cool couple. From their taste in music, loving family, comfortability around each other, and their willingness to just have a good time and laugh. All of this made for a very memorable, beautiful and most of all fun wedding day (and video).

Matthias + Corinne

The man who insisted they take a picture on their first date incase they would want it in their wedding slide show met the woman who already had her wedding day playlist picked out. I love that! In getting to know them, hear others talk about them, and in having the honor to be with them on their wedding day one thing is clear; these two were made for each other and are a perfect match! Matthias decided to end their amazing day by raising the bar for all future grooms by singing to his beautiful bride - not jut any singing either - a cappella!

Jenna + Grant

 

I think the best way to describe the wedding of Jenna and Grant is elegant, but with a twist. From the dress, to the horse and carriage every aspect of the day was picturesque. This attention to detail was combined with a contagious smile, a beautiful summers day, a choreographed wedding party dance, and a couple who is head over heals for each other.
