a wisconsin wedding { frost on flower }

I first met this couple, Lori and Erik, when I photographed their engagement photos at the conservatory in St. Paul. It was wonderful to see them again for their big day.

I drove out to Turtle Lake, Wisconsin where we spent time at Lori's church, a local bowling alley and bar, and then to Amery for their reception.

It was a wonderful day and I enjoyed getting out of the metro area and taking a drive by myself. :)

Here are a few of my favorites - it was a bright day!

a recent wedding { frost on flower }

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at my friend Amber's church. When first meeting the couple I also realized that I had previously heard (good) stories about them when Amber and I used to work together. The groom and his family have been attending the church for years and the bride works there. I love weddings when people very involved in their churches come together - you can see the love and the effects of such a well grounded pairing on the faces of all of the attendees.

Both the sanctuary and the fellowship room posed some unique challenges for photographing but I was eager to step up to the challenge. For example, the windows in the sanctuary cast an almost underwater-ish hue across everything.

After the ceremony the wedding guests filled every nook and cranny where they enjoyed a large table full of deserts made by many of the guests and enjoyed what looked to be wonderful fellowship.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day... :)

a recent maternity session { frost on flower }

I recently partnered with Christine Ransom who was our doula when Olive was born. Among many other wonderful perks she offers maternity photos to her doula clients, courtesy of yours truly. :)

I met with this wonderful and loving couple at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. I am so pleased with so many of our photos from the day.
