I was hired at the last minute to provide some additional reception coverage for this beautiful Ethiopian wedding. The bride and groom arrived in this stunning Rolls Royce, and I had only a few minutes to work with them before they entered the reception.
This shot was taken with available light, with the exception that the bride was lit by my iPhone flashlight to balance the exposure.

I wanted to do something less formal for the bridal party photos, so I asked the groom if he was willing to jump off the bench. The groom was very excited to show everyone his jumping skills. He attempted the jump many times until he felt it was perfect.

We left the venue to take a few more photos with the couple. When we walked outside we saw the beautiful golden sun just setting over the hill, and knew it was a perfect time and location for photos there.

The groom wanted to add a little twist to his bridal party photos. So all the guys took a selfie of themselves and then we posed the photo. This was how it turned out.

This was taken on a cold February night in Minnesota. The brides purchased a couple of bubble machines and wanted to do a fun photoshoot at night that featured their bubbles. The steps and sidewalk of the venue were covered in ice and our helper almost broke his back trying to help us get this shot. But in the end, it was worth all the effort.

Lensa and Hamdi’s wedding was an absolute joy to photograph. We were part of the celebration both days. For the wedding ceremony and all three receptions.

Casie and Kate shared a romantic first dance surrounded by their family and friends, on a cold day in February. Outside was covered in ice and snow, but their wedding day was filled with warmth and love.

Rachel and Jake's engagement session was quite a learning experience for us as we had never worked with horses before. The first part of their session was with wild horses on a bright sunny day. The horses had to be trained by the owner of the ranch to not run from our equipment and were terrified of our reflectors.
The second part of the session was with Rachel's horses' own horses, particularly her senior hours that she has had for most of her life. Rachel is an experienced mounted shooter and helped us handle and position the horses.

The paper lanterns were such a unique touch to Hayley and Adams's wedding. It was fun to watch all of the guest’s lanterns fly over the beautiful Lake Superior.

This church was a little slice of the 1980s located in the woods in a big city. All the photos on the wall, the green carpeting, and wood paneling brought me back in time. The glass table in the front lobby of the church made this reflection possible.
