Walk with me through Kelsey and Tai’s dreamy day. Their wedding was a cold day in November that ended up being coated in the most beautiful snow storm.

We try to get to New Orleans as often as we can. This trip was short but was enough to fill my spirit until the next time we are able to visit.
Would you believe me if I told you that the celebration images are a funeral? The streets are constantly filled with music, and each door way holds history that you could almost feel.

Lucas and Kristen met in middle school and started dating soon after. Â They celebrated their wedding day on their 9th anniversary!!! Started dating in 2010 and married in 2019!!!! Â The very same date, at the very place where they had one of their first dances together, so many years ago at a school dance. This day was full of so many joyful memories! It was straight out of a fairy tale.
Every time that I have had the honor of photographing Lucas and Kristen, I am reminded of how amazing love is. They are simply perfect for one another! Always concerned with the others’ needs. Looking out for each other, only speaking the kindest words, and sometimes silly nicknames to each other.
They chose The Wilds for their wedding because of the memories this place has for them. Â How incredibly special is that?!
Thank you, Lucas and Kristen for having me. It was an honor to be a part of your day.

You are so beautiful, I am so proud of you and the woman that you have become, you are going to have a wonderful life, I love you so much….
Words that every woman should be told at some point in their lives. The exact words that Stacy’s mother told her as she buttoned each precious button on her daughters wedding dress.
This day was full of so much love, so much peace and joy that you could feel it in the air. Steve and Stacy chose to have an intimate ceremony at their church home surrounded by their closest family and friends. It was an incredible, sweet and beautiful ceremony. The joy filled tears where seen throughout the room.
I loved that Steve and Stacy were not shy about the foot of snow that we trudged through to get to their first look location. It was so them! We laughed and smiled the entire time. After the ceremony everyone headed to W.A. Front and Company in St. Paul for drinks and a meal. The setting was absolutely perfect. I loved the warmth of the room as everyone mingled and shares stories with one another.

Emmitt’s sweet family have been clients of mine for a few years. Ever since their oldest, Harry was born. I can’t believe he will be 3 this year! I was so excited that I was able to photograph this sweet, in home newborn session.
With everything that has been going on it felt so wonderful to get back to what felt like my normal day to day! Also, I adore this family! Snuggling little newborn Emmitt was a dream! He was a wonderful little baby for his session! So happy and content! I hope you enjoy this sweet and cozy session as well. It’s the perfect day to snuggle up together and rest and don’t forget to take time to jump on the bed and snuggle your fur babies too!
Cheers…
I first met Mason & Selin in Florida, of all places. They were guests at a wedding I was photographing there. Read more about how we met here.
I had been so excited about this wedding. Simply because of them. We have become so close over the last year and I am so excited to see how they grow in love and what they accomplish in this world. Because I know that they will do great things together.
Their wedding day was perfect! I felt like I got to be a part of their fairy tail day!
One of those weddings that I want to relive over and over again! You could feel the joy all day long.
Mason and Selin met as little kids. Selin actually told a childhood friend the day she saw Mason that she was going to marry that boy! How amazing, to know your husband since you were both so young. To literally, grow up together.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful lake side wedding at The Quarterdeck Resort.
More to come soon on Selin’s sunrise session the next day!
Mason and Selin chose not to see each other before their ceremony. They had a moment alone, with eyes closed to talk and pray. I could hardly keep myself together standing in that room. Sweet Mason wouldn’t even touch her dress, he didn’t want it to give him any hints of what it looked like before she walked down the isle.
