Minneapolis Senior Photographer|Blaine Class of 2011

It is amazing to me to meet senior after senior and with all of their differences they seem to have one thing in common, their drive. I know when I was embarking on my senior year, I wasn't this sophisticated, and focused. This Class of 2011 senior plans to attend college in Colorado and will likely study Mass Communications (to my urging!! Yay Mass Comm!)
I just really have this feeling she needs an audience...

She really does have a gorgeous smile too... I couldn't help but be captivated by her "serious" faces.

Minneapolis Wedding Photography|Vintage Engagement Session

Jason and I started off this engagement session at the NE Minneapolis studio. Its a good way to start off a session, get warmed up. We play some music, let the happy couple check their look, get a feel for things.

we moved to the outside of the studio... took a little walk around the NE Minneapolis Arts District...

Then off to a nearby park for a little mini-picnic! A break from all that hard work, a little orange cream soda toast to the future Mr. & Mrs.

And since we are in Minnesota and these guys are huge Twins fans... an obligatory shot with the twins jerseys against the Minneapolis skyline. Gretchen & Dan you guys were too fun... thanks for being such good sports and for looking so in love! We cannot wait until the big day!

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer|Magnolia Blossom Wedding|Mary Jo & Todd

Jason and I had such a blast shooting a wedding on the Magnolia Blossom paddleboat in St. Paul www.magnoliablossom.net. Nobody was going to let the rain hamper any fun. I think the nifty umbrella we brought along makes this absolutely ADORABLE couple even cuter!!! I just loved the tophat and tails Todd wore and Mary Jo so elegant and always smiling.
The beautiful details... Some of my favorite parts of photographing weddings

Kinda cozy there under that umbrella you two...

I love this family, they have truly made Jason and I feel like part of their family. This ceremony was very boisterous, full of passion and vitality. The bride would shout out a WOO HOO! every now and then and her loved ones would WOO HOO right back at her!! Loved it!

Thank you Mary Jo and Todd for making us part of this celebration! There are just so many fabulous images from this wedding, we are so happy for you!
