Paige was a great subject for my lens. She slept almost her entire session. This is a peaceful shot of her dreaming in my studio.

{Trash the Wedding Dress}

This was so much fun! We didn't really trash the dress just got it wet. Lisa and Brian hired my good friend Sally with La Vie Photography to photograph their wedding in September. They canceled the wedding and ended up eloping. So she figured she better do something with the dress she bought. There is nothing better to do then get wet! These turned out beautifully!Lisa looks so stunning. I almost fell in the water laughing when they jumped off the dock.I know this is a little old school but I like it any ways.Congratulations Lisa and Brian and thanks for letting me come. And anyone else that would like to do a trash the dress shoot please call me.

{Katie and Andy engagements}

An amazing couple, amazing day and amazing location! Katie and Andy are getting married in September and I can't wait! We took their engagement photos by the river near St. Anthony Main and the Mill City Museum. they did an awesome job. I loved watching how Andy was so into Katie. They were so cute.

{The Harris Families}

This family is so much fun to photograph. The 3 husbands are all brother's and this is their families. It was a very busy shoot and you will see why.


To see even more cute photos check out their slideshow.

Thank you Harris' for letting me take photos another year.

{Nicole and Mo June 23, 2007}

What a fabulous wedding! I 'm in awe of how great everything went for Nicole and Mo. They got ready at the University Club on Summit. We went for a limo "tour" of St. Paul. Nicole gave me the freedom to choose all four locations. I was so glad, for nobody would have let me choose this old parking lot. It's got to be one of my new favorite places. I love the rustic look with the beauty of a bride.Here is the couple at Raspberry Island. Look at the great cityscape view in the background.

Here's Nicole and her dad smoking a cigar. After that, her mom joined in the fun, which had us all laughing. I haven't laughed that hard for a really long time.

There were so many awesome things in this wedding. Make sure you check out the slideshow for more photos!

This little cutie pie has grown up behind my lens. What started as a baby shower gift turned into a priceless collection of images for the Gilles family. Here Gabe is laughing it up at Doty Park in Neenah. The Gilles' stopped by on the way to Milwaukee for a fly by photo session in the park. We were fortunate to have a beautiful day and a happy baby.

{Katie and Cory June 16, 2007}

Katie and Cory have a magic feeling about them. They are so perfect for each other. I love how they met too. Cory gave Katie directions while he was at the bar with his friends. They were married at the University Lutheran Church of Hope and then had their reception at the Campus Club at the U of M.Katie wore her mother's vial. she looked ravishing in it. It is in really great shape also considering Katie and her sister both wore it.The lighting was so amazing up in the Campus Club! I got some awesome flair photos during sunset. Plus we got the best lighting for their dance photos.To funny, this is Cory's "little" brother giving his speak. Their open mouth smiles look so much alike.

I hope you also enjoy their slideshow. Thanks again Katie and Cory for letting us be part of your wedding day.
