If I had to sum up Kristen & Seth in one word, it would be simply STUNNING. The two chose to wed at Aria in NE Minneapolis and we were so thankful to be invited to capture it! Although both hail from Minnesota, they now make their home in sunny Southern California, and fittingly infused much Hollywood glam in their carefully planned day. The amazing Kristen pulled together so many chic details, creating the most memorable, luxurious event without compromising her budget. The clean, modern design featured shimmery silver and charcoal accents, lush white hydrangeas, and endless mercury glass votives. It was DIY done so very right–but more importantly, these two are Mr. & Mrs. Right. Their great sense of humor and shining personalities made the event such a joy both for us and all of their loved ones! These two care so much for each other and we are so glad they’ve shared their hearts and vows! Congrats K&S!! You are unforgettable! xoxo.

We are SO excited to share these images from Tony & Kate’s engagement session! These two are positively beautiful inside & out. They created the most dreamy engagement session–complete with a crown of babies’ breath and a birch branch tent.  All of this left me swooning! When Kate shared these photos with her friends on facebook, she accompanied them with the most inspiring words.  Words that I completely admired and asked her if I could share them here!:

“Today, I realized I am living in a dream. I believe that we prophesy our own futures with our thoughts and words. I am a dreamer. And I may have my head up in the clouds most days dreaming about better ones ahead- but that is why God has blessed me with this amazing life of mine. He has surrounded me with people I love that support me in everything that I do. And he lets me know that it’s good to dream. It’s good to try something that scares you. And it’s good to do what you love and create your own path. Today I got to see a glimpse of my life through someone else’s eyes with these pictures: warm, dreamy, happy, loving, simple. One of my favorite quotes says it all: ‘I think we like to complicate things when it is really quite simple; find what it is that makes you happy… and who it is that makes you happy… and your set. Promise.’ ” -Kate

Lindsay & Mark are such a great pair!  I love how their vibrant smiles and infectious energy permeate every single one of their wedding photos. We are so grateful that they invited us to capture their bright, beautiful wedding day at the historic Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.  How awesome that these two got to tour the grounds chauffeured in an authentic Model T! Congratulations L&M! May your happiness only increase!
xoxo.
