We are incredibly honored to have some of our work featured in the Spring/Summer 2013 issues of two local wedding magazines!  How exciting to see Nora & Reed‘s punchy urban wedding at Uppercut Boxing Gymnasium featured in Minnesota Bride and Laura & Adam‘s vintage farm wedding as a spread in Wisconsin Bride. It is always such a joy to see some of the fabulous weddings we photograph in glossy print publications! Also, if you’re planning a wedding in either state, I highly recommend picking up a copy. Both are top notch!(:

When I heard the news that my friend Rachel was expecting, I squealed with delight–and when she proceeded to tell me that there were TWO in there, I needed a little time to scrape my jaw off the floor…I can’t even imagine how she felt about that news. (;  Last week was their big ultrasound and we had the incredibly special privilege to be “in” on the big gender reveal surprise she had planned for her husband and kiddos!  That evening, we met them in a beautiful grassy field near their home.  My knees were shaking as Jeff and I stuffed the official surprise balloons into a vintage humpback trunk.  It was a combination of my heart feeling so THRILLED for them with my brain in simultaneous panic mode…It was SO windy–I was just praying that none would pop or blow away before they had a chance to open it!  I will let the photos tell the rest of the story…  CONGRATS sweet friends!!  We are so thrilled for the new baby boy and girl on the way and so happy that Lola is getting a sister and Ian is getting a brother all at once!! Thanks so much for including us in this happy new memory for your perfect growing family!

Hooray–after 7 ferociously long months of winter it is FINALLY beginning to feel like true springtime in Minnesota!  I will never forget this year’s MAY snowstorms.  Sheesh, the buds & birds outside our window are more refreshing than any springtime ever before!  And to celebrate the sunshine and seventy degree weather, we thought we’d share an equally refreshing spring brunch created and styled by the amazing Confetti Pop girls.  We are so honored to have had these images featured recently on the Everygirl blog!

Photographing Andie & Andrew’s wedding day was a little bit like dying and going to heaven. Not only are these two the most sparkling couple on the face of the earth, they planned and executed every last detail of their wedding day in the most lovely way.  If I could marry Jeff all over again, I imagine it would look very much like this!  It doesn’t hurt that their event took place at one of our absolute favorite venues, Camrose Hill Flower Farm near Stillwater Minnesota.  Their soft, pastel color palette, elegant floral design by Cindie (the flower farm owner), and divine details combined with a whimsical outdoor setting made this perfectly planned day gorgeous beyond words!  Even more radiant than their lovely details, was Andie & Andrew’s unmistakable, tremendous joy in marrying each other!  They waited to see each other until Andie walked down the aisle, where they exchanged heartfelt personal vows, surrounded by so many dear friends and family. Each time I look at these photos, it tugs at my heart all over again and I feel so much joy that these two found each other and started their life as husband and wife in such an extremely beautiful, meaningful way!! And if you can’t get enough of their wedding, hop over here to peek at their beautiful wedding video. Congrats A&A!
XOXO.
