Emma and Jacob’s Van Dusen Mansion wedding felt like a true reflection of who they are together. They’re both originally from the Twin Cities, but recently made the move to Chicago for Jacob’s first year of medical residency at Northwestern. Somewhere between packing boxes and starting a whole new chapter, they also managed to build […]

When it came time to choose a wedding location, Cragun’s Resort on Gull Lake was the obvious choice. Clare grew up spending weekends at her family’s cabin on the lake, and those memories shaped how they wanted their wedding to feel. Their vision was a full fall weekend where guests could slow down, be together, […]

Minneapolis might not be the first city people think of when it comes to romance, but honestly, it deserves way more credit.

Ali and Steven found me through one of my past brides (bless referrals forever). Sure enough, once we got talking, we uncovered the wildest small-world overlap: I actually grew up with her cousins!

Cole found me on Google (shoutout to the blogs working overtime), and he told me right away that I was his top choice. I felt genuinely honored, and ready to show up and make this fall proposal everything he imagined. For Shelly and Cole, Minneapolis has always been their go-to escape from Des Moines whenever […]

I never thought I’d be photographing Tori and Aaron’s Portland, Maine, wedding back when we met in our sophomore year of college. Tori and I clicked quickly, and later I shot her cap-and-gown photos for graduation. So showing up years later to photograph her actual wedding felt, honestly, pretty wild. Full-circle moments hit different when […]

When people think about Central Park engagement photos, they probably imagine golden light, fall leaves, and couples twirling under the Bethesda arches. And yeah, that’s part of it. But for me, it started way before that, like way before sunrise. I was staying near Wall Street, which is kind of wild when you consider how […]

Samantha and Adam’s Villa Bellezza wedding was color therapy. These two first met as coworkers, bonding over late afternoons at the office that turned into trivia nights at a local brewery.
