.tony & lisa. Balsam Lake, WI wedding/Minneapolis St. Paul wedding photographer

I mean seriously ... If you want to see massive adorable love look no further.  Tony and Lisa's wedding day started with a special reveal to her Dad and brother which had the men in tears!  It melted my heart.  If that wasn't enough, the next reveal made my heart go from melting to leaping!  This is how it is done boys, when you see your bride for the first time follow Tony's lead.  Throw out your hands and show how thrilled you are to see your bride.  

The rest of the day was flawless.  Beautiful weather, beautiful location, beautiful celebration!  And a beautiful love!  Thank you Tony and Lisa for bringing me to Balsam Lake for your celebration.  All the best and your new adventure, Em  

.anna & luke, engagement. Minneapolis wedding photographer

When one of my best guy friends finds his forever sweetie ... it's kind of a big deal!
I have know Luke for over 20 years.  He is what people want in a friend.  He is generous, kind, insightful and funny.  When Anna showed up all of his best traits were heightened and we couldn't believe that he could get any better.  Thank you Anna for taking our dear friend to his next level of awesomeness.  You too are a pretty rad chick and I look forward to many years of memories and laughs.  Welcome to crew.
Side note, here are some of my favorites from their engagement session last week.  Downtown Minneapolis is their home and that is where we shot. Can't wait for your big day.  Thanks for including me during this amazing time of your lives!

.families summer 2014.

I wanted to give a massive shout out to all the families that have used me this summer to capture their growing families.  I feel so fortunate to work with such loving and fun groups of people on a weekly bases.
Admittedly I have fallen behind on my blogging as the busy season has gotten the best of me.  I did however want to share a few of my favorites from the last month.
Cheers to a great summer and lots of memories.
