Here is Carl & Carly on a beautiful day in Northfield on the St. Olaf campus to warm them up for their upcoming wedding.  Most couples haven't done a lot of photo shoots before so having a pre shoot can get comfortable with the camera is key.  It is also nice to get some great images in your "normal" or casual cloths!  Thank you for taking me down to St. Olaf for some fun.  What a great backdrop and location.  Can't wait for your big day!  Here we come Bayfield, WI!

A sweet post for a sweet couple.  The day started out overcast with some sprinkles.  But by the time we headed outside after the ceremony it was sunny and bright and not a rain cloud in site.  Greg and Stephanie certainly had some special people watching over their day as the day was perfect!
Words do not do this couple justice.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves and end with a heartfelt thank you!  Cheers to you both and may you be blessed with many many happy years.  Love, Em

All you need is love ... and your dog!
If you are looking for a perfect example of an intimate wedding Brian and Kirstin are your couple.  The location: the north woods of Wisconsin at Lakewoods resort
The crew: 20 of their closest family & your favorite pet
The ceremony: meaningful, sweet, by the lake and under the sun
The love vibe:  Strong!
I adore all kinds of weddings, large/small/extravagant/simple.  It doesn't matter to me.  The most important part is the love that is shared between the couple.  Brian and Kirstin were such an amazing couple to work with because their love is so strong.  Their love isn't a "screaming in your face" kind of strong.  It's a quiet, confident connection that glowed between the two of them all day.  All I had to do was put them in the right locations and they did the rest!  Just themselves ... peacefully in love just hanging out with the people that adore them most.  The two of them should give classes to other couples on how to be "awesome" on your wedding day!  Thank you for bringing me along for the ride on your day of awesomeness!  Cheers, Em

 

Beautiful day, beautiful souls, beautiful LOVE!  What a joyous celebration.  Tim and Lindsay were married at her parents house on the lake in Hatley, WI.  A small intimate party that was relaxed and filled with such a happy vibe I couldn't help but be filled with happiness as well.  

Tim and Lindsay didn't see each other before the ceremony but they did do a special hand hold around the corner as you can see below.  It was so sweet to see and capture their excitement.  

As you can see above we did a special day after session to take advantage of the water and Lindsay and Tim's awesome skiing skills!  Two fantastic days finished with a blast out on the water.  

Cheers to this beautiful couple.  May you be blessed with many years of love, Em
