What started as a typical Como Park engagement session quickly turned into something forgettable when an unexpected downpour transformed the evening into a cinematic, rain-soaked love story. Instead of running for cover, Camero and Charlie embraced the storm- dancing, laughing, and fully soaking in the moment.

Bella and Hunter’s backyard wedding in Clear Lake, IA, was a celebration built on intentionality. Every detail was designed to reflect their love with bold color, meaningful moments, and time spent with their favorite people. Their day felt effortless, joyful, and completely their own.

When my college best friend Danielle asked me to capture her maternity portraits during our annual trip, I knew they had to be special. With only my 35mm film camera in hand, we embraced the beauty of imperfection- soft light, organic movement, and the rich nostalgia that only film can preserve. These portraits aren’t just images; they’re a tangible memory of this fleeting season, captured in a way that feels as timeless as motherhood itself.

Angelika and Alec’s cinematic Saint Paul engagement session took us from the iconic Capitol to the charm of Irvine Park, inspired by La Venere- a stunning, French-inspired speakeasy venue. With a mix of natural light, flash photography, and authentic connection, this session felt like a scene from a romance film.

Lex and Phil’s intimate Saint Paul microwedding was everything a wedding should be- authentic, meaningful, and centered around their closest people.

With a heartfelt ceremony at Irvine Park, a private cocktail hour at Parlour Bar, and a cozy dinner at Cossettas, their day proved that you don’t need to travel far to create something unforgettable.

I’ve been left with no choice. After capturing Caylee and Steven’s dreamy-as-all-get-out California microwedding, I simply had to blog about all of the super creative ideas that went into the loveliest weekend getaway for the couple and their guests.

As you’ll see in this gallery of Tori’s and Brennan’s glowing maternity session at Bde Mka Ska, Minnesota offers so much more than meets the eye, including beachy lakeside settings and nautical vibes.

Everything about Logan and Laura’s garden wedding screamed “straight out of a European period piece,” and I was fortunate enough to document it artful moment for artful moment. 

Documentary-style can mean different things from one person to the next, and Alexa’s and Caleb’s stunning direct sunlight wedding is the perfect portfolio piece to help me define it for you, in my own terms.

Picture it with me. You’re newly engaged. As in, your dream engagement ring was tenderly slid on your finger just a few days ago, your iPhone call log is full of all of the giddy Facetimes you’ve made to everyone you can think of with your left hand up in the air as soon as they answer, your cheeks are twinging with (welcome) pain from the smile permanently pasted on your face for 48 hours straight.
