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!
Read MoreEngaged // Madison + Jamie - Engagement Photos
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!
Read MoreAmanda + Kyle // Florian Gardens - Wisconsin Wedding Photographer
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!
Read MoreEmily + Ryan // University Club - St Paul Wedding Venues
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!
Read MoreDanielle + Dan // Centennial Lakes Park + Canterbury Park
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!
