Engaged // Jasmine + Jeremy - Engagement Photo Ideas

November 30, 2025 Bernadette Fox

This lovely duo was game to celebrate their engagement at a very special South Minneapolis spot... The historic Riverview Movie Theater! They braved the late-Fall chill -- strolling through the neighborhood and snapping a few portraits under the marquee -- but then got cozy with some hot chocolate at the Riverview Cafe across the street. From there we were able to pop into the theater between films, plus take some fun shots inside the cinema's iconic lobby. And of course the day would not have been complete without a little popcorn tossing contest :) A truly lovely afternoon with a very lovely couple -- I'm looking forward to seeing Jasmine + Jeremy tie the knot!

Bridget + Blake // Wedding Photography MN

November 4, 2025 Bernadette Fox

It's safe to say that Bridget + Blake's big day wins the prize for the Most Laughter this year! Their family and crew was a blast and kept the mood light and fun throughout the entire day. From a very romantic First Look among the Fall foliage, to a stunning reception at St. John Neuman Church in Egan, MN to a stylish celebration at Rosehenge Hall, these two made sure that their guests enjoyed every single second. They helped make their day unique with a lot of little touches -- from hand-made signage to a hilarious photo slideshow, to an exquisite cake made by the Bride's mother, and they didn't forget to have fun with a few traditions -- instead of the 'clinking of glasses' for a kiss, the Bride and Groom required folks to have a dance off! Congrats to these wonderful love birds!

Engaged // Madison + Jamie - Engagement Photos

October 28, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Jamie and Madison pitched the idea to bring Jamie's motorcycle to their engagement session, and obviously... YES. On a perfect Fall day, they jumped on the bike (and agreed to slow down for just a few seconds for some photos), strolled through the fields, popped a bottle of champagne, danced in the studio, laughed together in the afternoon sunlight, and basically melted my heart with all their sweetness. I can't wait to see what fun these two have planned for their wedding day. Yay for love!

Amanda + Kyle // Florian Gardens - Wisconsin Wedding Photographer

October 24, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Amanda + Kyle's gorgeous Fall wedding was in full-color in Eau Claire. These two shared a special first look in a light rain, surrounded by the vibrant colors of a Wisconsin Autumn. Then, they exchanged vows in a traditional Catholic ceremony at St. James the Greater and followed with a quick stop a a local brewery before making their way to a truly entertaining reception at the Florian Gardens -- complete with a whimsical travel theme, photo booth, plus a live band! A very magical day for a lovely couple. Wishing Kyle + Amanda many years of adventures ahead!

Emily + Ryan // University Club - St Paul Wedding Venues

October 22, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Two words: Wedding BRUNCH. And a perfectly laid-back morning celebration it was! Everything fell into place for this lovely couple -- a historic venue of the University Club of St. Paul, soft morning light shining though the vibrant Autumn leaves, plus a custom-designed newspaper for the guests to read over coffee, featuring fun anecdotes from the Bride and Groom. And of course it would not have been complete without a few mimosas :) Did I mention a gorgeously delicious succulent + donut display at every table? And then there was the awesome travel-themed guest book which asked family and friends to write the couple a postcard listing their favorite destination and what they enjoyed most about their adventure. Emily + Ryan thought of absolutely everything for this simple, comfortable and sophisticated gathering and their guests enjoyed each minute of it. Cheers!

Danielle + Dan // Centennial Lakes Park + Canterbury Park

October 9, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Dan and Danielle planned a wonderfully unique event, from beginning to end (not to mention, seriously stylish... those blue shoes!). The couple shared a romantic First Look along the shores of Centennial Lakes Park, a stroll through the sculpture gardens, and exchanged their vows under the amphitheater, surrounded by family and friends. From there, their guests were in for a real treat, with a huge celebration at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN! (we even got to bring the entire wedding party out onto the racing track for portraits!). Delicious food, a full ice-cream bar and a live band... these two know how to throw a party. Wishing Danielle and Dan many years of fun ahead!

Colleen + Ronny // Minnesota Valley Country Club

October 8, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Colleen and Ronald were married with a full mass at the Good Shepard Catholic Church in Golden Valley, MN and the 5-foot train on her wedding gown certainly brought the traditional drama! Their families joined for portraits at the alter, there was a special appearance from a purple classic ride, and we were sure to grab a few fun wedding party shots on the way to the Reception. With a beautiful blush pink and gold theme, plus custom DIY touches everywhere, the couple danced their way into the Minnesota Valley Country Club. Cocktails, speeches, cake, dancing and s'mores -- a perfect event, start to finish. Congratulations on your wonderful romance, Colleen and Ronny!

What do you get when you have a fun-loving couple + a swanky venue + a solid crew of friends + a skateboard? Most certainly a day to remember! The adorable Heidi + Jake hosted their posh wedding at Muse Event Center in downtown Minneapolis, with a sophisticated gold and purple theme. From portraits and skating on the Stone Arch Bridge, to a romantic ceremony under a chandelier, with a stroll through downtown, and dancing with family -- this duo has started their marriage off right. Congratulations, Heidi + Jake, and thanks for allowing us to spend the day with you!

Editing - "Before + After" // Wedding Photography MN

September 7, 2026 Bernadette Fox
wedding-photography-mn

Clients often ask me how much time and effort goes into editing their wedding photos and the answer is... many, many more hours than you would even believe! Due to this, lots of wedding photographers choose to outsource their editing to a 3rd party (which I can totally understand). But, for me, the "edit" of the image is nearly just as important as the picture-taking itself. And it's because of this that I personally touch every single one of my client's images during the editing process.

Brittany + Blake // Juliane James Place

September 1, 2026 Bernadette Fox
juliane james place wedding

These sweethearts tied the knot up north at Juliane James Place in Finlayson, Minnesota. It's a little off the beaten path and an idyllic nature setting for a wedding celebration -- married at the edge of the woods, portraits in the garden and cocktails by the pond. Surrounded by a group of super fun-loving friends and family, the party then noshed on family-style BBQ and gourmet donuts from Glam Doll! The evening also included impromptu dance-off with the parents. A lovely MN Summer wedding not to be forgotten -- congrats Brit + Blake!
