I am the luckiest photographer in the world, because I am a Minnesota wedding and elopement photographer. I get to spend so much time in some of the coolest parts of our state. There are very few corners I haven’t explored, and I love it. My favorite part of it? THE FOOD. I might be […]

Is an elopement for you? This is a question that every couple needs to ask themselves as they begin their wedding planning process. No love story is exactly the same, and therefore no celebration will be, either. It is important to weigh all the options so you know exactly what you are looking for when […]

There is an app for just about every part of life, your wedding included. That’s probably not too much of a shocker. App stores are full of options for helping you make your way to your big day as easily as possible (which once you get into the hustle of planning, you might appreciate).   Just […]

2020 was nothing like what many of us expected. I know, I know; that is the understatement of all understatements. I never, ever imagined that I would teach from home.
